hi i've been trying for two weeks now to try + download the software to my starview no success please can u help me as i need to watch the celtic beat aberdeen tomorrow if it can be downloaded in time. i know it's working as my dad gave it to me it worked in london, so i restored factory settings now i cant download the software please help. thanks paul

 

What version of Starview do you have is it a Starview 1 or a Starview 2 called "The Box".

 

If u are sure its not a clone and its not 'the box' then u need v4.00e. download v4 and the gtrom loader at the eko.4 link under my post . Also u need a 'null modem cable' to put it onto the starview !"

 

it's not a clone, the remote is the same as in the clone ad. i have a cable connected to my computer now, my dad has downloases software before to it, he has no computer anymore. can you please tell me how to download the software please

 

its saying model name does not correct +cant open serial port,last error:the system cannot find the file specified please help. thanks for your patience

 

your saying i need i null modem cable to download software to my starview i have a rs-232 cable which my dad has used on his pc, he downloaded software but that was down in london i'm in scotland can u tell me if this cable is the rite one please if not why did my dad b able to do it. he went into starview.com which i've tried but i just went round in circles. please help

 

if it worked for him it will work for u !
as i said lets see what u have on your box at the mo.
check ur system info ..

 

i have api ver 2.59e_E boot ver;7.0 so wots wrong why cant i download. it was finding channels but most were cuming up scramled r bad picture, i feel like just throwing it thru the window been 2 weeks wots wrong with me?

 

there's nothin wrong with u mate, just follow my lead !
That version u have on is ok, it just wont autoroll, but thats ok too because if the codes do change, then u wil get them here within minutes so dont panic!
Try this: press menu, go to installation, click on n*L( or who ever your provider is) then autoscan, when it comes to 100% let me know ok ?
