i need help, im an idiot.

How do you update starview the box. all the stations are gone. iv tried following the links but im useless with this stuff. if anyone has the time to write it out step by step it would be greatly appreciated.

 

As it's not available as a seperate download, I've uploaded the guide to rapidshare

that seems to be a link to instructions for the box super (sv3)
sv2 the box need loader v 4.03 plus AU fix 8.02e

 

cheers for that. what is the RS232 lead?

 

The RS232 is actually a null modem cable. Do NOT buy a standard RS232 cable ... null modem is the one you will need - they look the same but don't act the same when used.

 

The pictures differ, the instructions are however, correct.

 

im sorry but i dont even know what a null modem is

 

Go to your local electronics shop like Maplin and ask them for a null modem cable

It looks like this (colour is usually grey though)

 

does that cable have to go into my laptop, if so theres nowhere to put it. any ideas

 

You'll also need a USB to Serial adapter as well as the null modem cable since you are using a laptop ... same place to buy

Maplin order codes are,

L71BT - null modem cable
ZP43W - USB to serial adapter

 

thanks for all the help, but have just seen willo1962 post(post 3) and i think i have the starview 2 the box. so will i still need the null modem cable and the usb to serial adaptor?

 

Yes, the box may differ but the equipment you need to update it is the same

 

thanks you've really been great help. il surely be back tomorrow with more questions
