need help with installing my stv4 box

juz got my box, have installed the firmwire, removed all splitters and also entered allsort of codes, but it still not coming up with any channels can some1 help...

 

Did you scan for channels and if so did it pick up any ?

We need a bit more info in order to assist.

 

thanks i did scan for channels but it' s coming up with the manual page bit, plus i have checked the cable outside and remove the spilter but still de same thing. my cable is called diamond cable by the way not to sure if that matters and am in leicester.

 

Hi i also just got the starview the box 4 usb set top today, i have installed it and it has found the channels but they seem to be locked? i use to have the starview 1 box and you had to put code 1570 at menu in to get to secret menu and nagrivision, this doesnt seem to work on my new box? is there a new code? any help will be nice.
How do i get to type new numbers in on line 00 and 01?

 

did you flash it with the firmware? doesnt sound like ya did

read here firstly beofre ya flash anything and go to the section on SV4 clones,

it's not finding any channel at all, when i say manual page, i mean the manual scan page. level =0% quality=0% too.

 

babz, read the flash guide in the link I provided and I would read the section on clones before ya do anything,

where u buy the box?

 

yh, i did flash with this file called the (box super usb new bin)

 

HI yeah it come with firmware on, but i guess it not the latest version?
I trying to find out if it a clone or real one before i do anything? is there a easy way to tell them apart? iam looking at the theads you pointed me to but there so many links.

 

i did come across the clone bit earlier, and from what have read my is not a clone. got it from this website called. mycablebox.. and am pretty sure there is life in the cable outside. u see when it says u sud factory reset it does that mean to go to system setup and then factory defult and enter the password 0000. then ok? mikah

 

i did read the tread about the stv 4 and followed the instruction i think but still the same not to sure if am doing something wrong or not do doing something at all.

 

you got the cable in the correct input at the back? Are you paying for a cable service?

To load the files just drag them on to a memory stick make sure box is not plugged in and then put the memory stick in the USB port at the back of the receiver.
Then press the menu button on the remote there you will see USB
at the bottom of the screen.
Just highlight USB with the remote then you will see the
(Box Super USB Bin file) appear on the screen.
Highlight the Box Super USB Bin File with the remote and press the ok button then you will see the file start loading in to the Box.
Do not touch the remote or the box for at least 30 seconds after the box has rebooted otherwise you will end up with a dead box displaying 8882 on the display

 

not paying for a cable service, but there is one that comes into the house, it's called diamond cable and the box is brown outside. when i connent the cable straight into the tv without any box or freeview. it does come up with few tv channels. i have installed the firmware onto the box, but wud try in again. to i need to factory reset it i.e factory default before putting thr firmware onto the box. thanks

 

thats why yer not getting anything, you dont have a digital feed when ya scan, I never heard of Diamond cable, you dont state where ya are

if ya dont have a digital feed coming in then it wont work and if yer not paying for a cable sub and hooked up hooky, its not done right and its not something I am getting into

 

I checked my box and it got a black heatsink? so i dont think its a clone because its not silver? ive downloaded the latest firmware V1.10 on to my usb, shell i install this as you have been telling babz?

 

yes Rano, to the letter mate, make sure its a BIN file you are putting onto the memory stick and not RAR or ZIP, once on, follow the above and do not touch the box until its switched off and comes back on, then scan for the channels

 

seen, am in leicester(east midlands) a friend did tell me that the diamond cable is meant to be the old ntl or something. not too sure what u meant by "hooked up hooky" plus i didn't realise that u had to be payind for a cable sub. thought that was the whole point of the box. so if that's the case do i get a cable sub and how do i go about doing this or wha wud b u're advise on wha to do next

 

if yu are not paying anything for even a basic cable, normal chans, you wont get anything on the box, thats why it looks like the box wont work as no digital feed. if someone has hooked up a cable, well.....

Just on a off chance, what provider are you selecting when scanning? Select NTL and then autoscan and see if yer getting something

 

have got a sky dish that come into the house thuo! wud dis work? also have a normal annetena on top of the house

 

nope, has to be a digital cable feed, not aeriels, dishes etc, it seems to me that you dont have a proper cable feed coming in, if you subscribe to the basic service and get hooked up, the box will work
