Hi i have original sta****w box 1 like many others it has gone down, not sure what or how to get it working again, i am new to this so very very simple step by step instructions would be very much appreciated, i am running on version 4.00e_E and N** i have read some of the other threads and they say upload the firmware but it is the same that i already have i have tried inputting the many codes that have been put on forum but still no luck, so help would be very much appreciated, but please be gentle with me the more detailed the instruction the better, i am learning however slowly.
The latest firmware has the same version number but it is NOT the same as the one on your box already. In the rush to get it released, sunrise forgot to change the version number in the file. Go to http://www.eko.4shared.com and go into first the 'Starview' folder then the 'Firmware' folder. Download the file CryptStar-v14-GenuineOnly.zip file and extract the contents. *NOTE* you will need a NULL MODEM CABLE and not an RS232 CABLE - See my signature should you need one UPLOADING SOFTWARE TUTORIAL 1. Plug Starview in at the mains. 2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for this on the Starview you cant go wrong); 3. Open up GTRom loader 4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the Auto update BIN file that you have saved earlier 5. Now click download button and you will see the file being downloaded. 6. Once complete a message will appear saying something like "download successful". 7. Ideally you should try and get a bin file channel list for your area and load this as well it will save a lot of time. 8. Alternatively, plug box in and press Menu on remote, installation, choose your cable provider, then move down to automatic scan and press ok. 9. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen. 10. Now press menu, parental control, press ok. Then press i then 2004. Move down to Key Emu and change option to on. Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen. 11. If entering the code of 2004 does not work, substitute with the code of 1570.
