    Press Menu > System Information and tell us what the API is please and if you are in the UK or Ireland

    You will need version 4.50 firmware IRELAND for THE B0X found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

    You will need version 4.51 UK firmware for THE B0X found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

    You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link.

    All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

    Updating Firmware

    Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY.
    (The Starvi*w does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM)

    Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT
    that matches the one that is being used

    Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.

    Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase
    then Download completed message on your PC.
    Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before
    removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starvi*w will then reboot

    Disconnect from PC and connect back up to the TV

    Are you using the NULL MODEM CABLE plus a USB Adpater from a laptop or PC ?
