Hi scouser any idea why they went off

 

Yes N** changed two transponder frequencies of which was 387.000 and 395.000. So you would have been missing quite a few channels since 06/09/07. As said you will find all the updated frequencies for each changed channel in the link above.

 

nice one thanks a lot

 

Youre Welcome. Any problems just drop back.

 

scouser thanks very much ill pass on that info

 

No problem, hope it works for you.

 

scouser need info please
what is ur opinion of running 255 with manual against v400 rolling,for picture diagnostics etc .
cheers

 

Sorry Cactikid what are you trying to do exactly and I will help you out if I can?

 

hi all can a jtagged clone not be loaded up with software using gtrom loader or does it have to be the s@ymax program i got further back a couple of pages

 

A successfully jtagged clone can be loaded with any firmware pre version 3. The best one to use is the fixed 2.57eE api as this has autoroll enabled. Yes you use the gtromloader to load the firmware. Skymax is for reading and writing to the tsop of the box during the jtag process.

 

scouser hi.
i was talking to m8 and he was told to run v255 on his original starview to overcome problems,freezing etc.in irl. now i said we are all using v4 on been advised to, thats where i scratch my head and my **** [censored ] so i said i would talk to the high and mighty wilkipedia otherwise known as scouser

 

As you said if he has an original box he should be using version 4. His problem may be the fact that he/she has not updated to version 4. Maybe they had version 3 on it at one stage as this caused this type of problem and they never done a factory reset when or if they upgraded/downgraded.

What version is on their box now.

 

he was told to put 255 on box to fix ongoing problems

 

Bad advice I would say. I presume they have checked all their cabling and signal strength coming into their house as this would cause the same symptoms as this, i.e. freezing and picture break up.

 

any body do a duel comparison starview1 original 255 against 400 any noticeable differences

 

quality down to 61%

 

The only differences are 255 will not autoroll version 4 will, also the EPG is a bit better on v4 due to the auto time fix. Version 4 was brought out after version 3 caused a lot of freezing. The previous solid version in Ireland was 2.58. Thats me for the evening good luck with it.

Seen the signal quality before I was about to leave ask them to check all their cabling and if necessary to put in a booster. If that doesn't solve it change the internal cabling to a good quality CT-100 and use proper twist on RF connectors. And I would still advise the use of version 4 on a genuine box. Maybe this is been caused by the cabling upgrade at the tap end.

 

two weeks ago i bought 2 variable boosters and 2 x 5 co ax splitters , he said those boosters would power an appartment block.
so i will run each unit its own co ax lead from the splitter,also got connections and cable.
as i suspected from previous posts not v4 problem but lack of strong quality signal.
cheers thanks
ps boxes started with 255,300,400 and factory resets
and he was told go back to 255, and factory resets
