    Plug your cable into your normal TV and see if you have channels

    ive checked it and all dried out,but i think its had it,im gutted.checked the cable into my tv and get normal tv but saays no signal or quality strength when i try my starview . looks like im going to have to get another one :(.its a shame ivehad this one well over a year.anyway ,which oone would you choose . was thinking of star view 2 the box.something nice and easy for a novice like me.also i bought mine from a lad i know who instaled it and i had to do nothing,but am going to buy one from the net ,do they come with everything on ,channels etc or do you have to put them on yourself.thanks in advance and if any one can think why the box ive got now isnt picking the signal up,i would be greatfull .

    Its strange that you can access channels and volume etc

    Make sure you plug the incoming cable back into the "Cable Input" socket at the back of the Starvi*w

    If that fails then I will answer your last post lol
