    on the box that has all the channels working press ok, and you will see the list of channels scroll down to the channels that are missing on box 2 (and highlight the channel name )now look below the last channel name and you will see a number (thats the channel frequency )enter that into box 2 in manual scan .your probably only missing the odd frequency (and a few new ones were added recently )so the firmware you put on box 2 will likely be a little older and not be programmed with those frequencies.

    click on the link in my signature area and choose starview ,you should see what firmware is there for the starview 3 ,i live in ireland so the frequencies i have will be no use in your area . you may get a thread with a list of frequencies by using the afterdawn search banner above center and then clicking on ok .it is a strange one mate .
