    Hi There, I have a starview box well i have a few of them all working fine bar 1, I cannot get any channels on it at all, baciscally what happens is when i do a channel scan it comes up with "0 programs found"
    I have already reflashed it numerous times with different versions and same problem, I have flashed many of these before so i am familiar with flashing the box,I have checked cables, taken it apart checked ide cables inside checked for blown capacitors, manually scanned and still same problem
    When I do a scan the red bar goes accros as if it sees the channel but nothing shows up in the channel list it even says "OK" and not "Failed"
    when scaning, and when i do a manual scan it even shows the level and quality on that frequency as being around 85 percent.., so I would doubt its the tuner as it wouldn't see that there is something there if it was blown
    Anyway this has me completly baffled so any ideas or help would be much appreiciated!!!
    Thanks

    is it starview 1 or 2 (ie the box) also check and see if its a clone
    18 vents = clone
    25 vents = genuine
    13 vents = 1st generation

    vents are the slits on the top of the box from top to bottom

    left scart = Clone
    Right scart= Genuine

    Double check your incoming cable is plugged into the "Cable Input" socket
