    you might have to reflash your box with a different firmware

    press menu then parental control
    then info followed by 2004

    you could try substituting 1668 for one of the above codes as this is the master codes for the starview. I never had any problem getting into secret menu on version 2.57. on version 2.58 the codes wouldn't work for me.

    try this......

    press parental control


    scroll down to second pin and press ok

    enter 1668

    this should work.

    it will not take any other pin number other than the one that I enter
    even if I go to factory settings it will scan and save channels the only problem is it will not let me into the secret menu.
    when I press menu it goe`s into

    Insallation
    Parental Control
    Channel Edit
    User Setup
    Factory Settings
    System information

    So I dont get a chance to press info if I press parental control it offers me a box to put a 4 number code. any code I put in does not work.
    I did what you suggested but no luck
    It sounds like it is nackerd up what do you think ?

    the last method i posted never failed for me. 1668 is the mastercode so it should work. i don't know any other way to resolve this

    I managed to get it up and running I just turned it off from the back and left it off all night I was going to put it through the room but thought i`d give it another go and I had no problem getting getting into the secret menu and turning the emu on everything is going okay and I have my channels back
    thanks for the time and effort you put into helping me
