well lads i seem to have got myself in a right pickle here.So if anyone can help i will be eternally grateful. Basically it all started in december when everyone lost all channels. So I tried following all the steps (clearing the box,1570 etc) which ended up with the box refusing to let me exit out of language selection.(can go forward all the way but cant exit any further than language. Then i went and got a null modem cable found GTRom v4(1).oo and CryptStar-v1(1).5.core 4.00. But when i try to downloadit it keeps failing and I dont know any way out of it. I have tried all the com ports but all fail. I am in Dublin on N*l so any help lads
english press ok istallation press ok choose your prov then automatic scan when channels found exit back to blank screen then press menu 1.5.7.0 into next menu go down flick across to emu on then exit exit/// and you can never exit any further than language screen just means the box has been factory reset so dont worry
thanks tryabit tried it but no joy so back to square one.would you know if i am flashing it properly cheers for your help
you could have an rs232 cable they look the same as null but wired differnt are u not picking up stations go into installation then into manual scan and put in the down freq 291.000 put in your symbol rate 6.887 then down to network scan flick across to enable press ok
basically if its stuck on the Language page the box needs reflashing... it could have been a corrupt file ( no problem) that you used... try refashing it!!
tryabit; tried it but to no avail DesB ;will try to, i have to find somewhere else to find the programs any ideas? Thanks to both of you for the advice, much appricated
thanks Noley got them, tried to flash but keeps coming up as failed, doesnt go past 0%, but it takes about a minute to come up as failed.Tried on all 4 com ports, same results on 12 and 4 . 3 wont allow an attempt
trying to do it with a windows 98 program on a toshiba tecra 8000 laptop with a rolinecable db9m-db9f 1.8m
You`ll need a null modem cable - DB9F to DB9F. Click on the second link under my sig for all the starview info.
just checked with the computerstore he says he gave me a roline rs232 cable db9m-db9f 1.8m which he says is a null modem cable I dont know if that is true would you know
that cable sounds like a rs232 serial extension cable, as you hav a db9m (male) and a db9f (female) ends on it, it needs to have db9f on each end and be a NULL cable the female end goes into back of sv, so where are you plugging the male end into on your laptop, only place I can think you are plugging it into is the vga port, which is used for an ext monitor but that has more pins in it sounds like you have the wrong cable m8 JoK
As JOK explained .,.. Compliments of Hiteck These are the cables you will need to flash your box with the new Firmware, If you have a computer or a laptop with a 9 pin serial com Male socket all you will need is this, Female to Female RS232 Null Modem Serial Cable looks like this, Or this one>>> Make sure you do not buy just a Serial RS232 9-Pin Female to Female cable, they seems to be quite a few people buying these from mapl*ns, and they look exactly the same, M@plins order numbers are, L71BT Correct order code, L68BT <-- This cable will not work! So if you take the cables you boughtback to the shop and change them!!!
