All yours....

 

Lads,

Friend of mine bought 10 starview boxes on ebay, having been told they were flashed and ready to go from the box.

However when he turns them on there is no channels and if he tries to enter a key manually using secret menu's (1570 / 2004) to get into nagravision nothing happens.

Does this mean that there is no firmware installed on the boxes and if so what can he do to remedy the problem.

The bloke who sold them to him has gone missing and isnt answering calls or mails (typical).

From reading a bit he went out and bought and RS232 cable and tried connecting one of the boxes to his laptop (9-pin) and PC (15-pin) using both the serial method and usb method (usb to 9/15-pin) in the hope of acquiring the necessary software, however he doesnt appear to be able to establish a connection bewteen the starview and his laptop/PC.

Can anyone help out there?

All help greatly appreciated, using the simpliest terminology possible as i am a complete novice to the whole world of cable receivers, firmware and cables etc.

Thanks in advance.

These boxes will have version 2.58 on, this version, from Nov 2006 has NO EMU menu on it so these can be sold as free to air only. They will need re-flashing with 2.57 or something similar.They may be clones if the seller won't answer so do not flash with files 2.60 and above.

my Starview remote stopped working.i have the box a day and i didnt drop the remote and its not the batteries does anyone know whats wrong please reply

 

to test a remote, use a mobile phonewith video capture, point it at the front of the rmote and press a button, if the transmitter light up then te remote is ok and it must be the ir reciever on the starview thatsat fault.

if the remte isnt working make sure theres no gaps between the batteries and the contacts.

 

wher is the transmitter light

 

on the front of the remote, its like a tiny light bulb

 

where and what is the tranmitter light can i fix the reciever on the box if its not the remote

THE LIP SINC ON MY BOX IS TERRIBLE AT THE MOMENT

 

Hi ya Whippet1 could you pm me the details of the lad in scotland
Thanks very much

 

on the front of the remote there is a little bulb, like a light bulb or a LED. thats where the infrared signal is transitted, point it towards a lens on a camera phone and on the phone you should see light coming out of the transmitter, if you dont then the remotes faulty, if it works then the starview is faulty

 

thanks for that fergus, look forward to hearing if you were successful

 

Thanx lads, sounds like a good start.

What about the connection problems, any idea's???

 

being naive to starview and received your much appreciated help already. when reading the messages daily i have noticed some comment with regard to sky keys.hence:- does starview work with a sky dish input or is it only for cable ? ie v----n ?

 

no, just cable. sky keys is a program used to flash the starview & many other STB's includiong some satellite recievers
