Starview 2 'The Box' disappearing channels.

I just received my Starview 2 yesterday, got it set up no problem. Everything was working. But this morning when I turned the telly on, most of the channels were gone. I did an automatic scan again and it only found 37 channels. I'm on N** in Dublin. My EMU is definitely on. The codes I'm using are:

5401
00 - A9 86 6E EA 39 EA 09 49
01 - 23 C5 32 FA 51 A6 50 02

I've also tried using various other codes which have been posted about the place on this forum but none of them seem to make a difference.

The Box came with API ver. 4.00e_E

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

I'm having the exact same problem :-(

I only bought the box last night and it was working fine but now it's missing lots of channels.

Any suggestions on this guys ?

Thanks

mine is like that also.noting there is noting we can do.

 

Ryan if you dont know already you have to do a factory reset and autoscan again, as they have changed the freqs

 

Hi fellas, I was two steps from throwing "The Box" out the window when I seen the reply.

If I do a factory reset, do i have to download software and stuff to put back on the box before I do and auto scan ?

Thanks

No all you have to do is a factory reset and an autoscan make sure your key emu is on after autoscan. And you were worried about not getting the football lol

 

Thanks for the reply

Yeah some of my mates have the reply lite box and they were moaning they had to keep changing the codes every so often.

I bought this and the very next day it seems to have packed up..... all I can say is it doesn't know how lucky it is...20 minutes ago it could have been all over my front garden in a million bits and pieces lol

I'm going to do that auto scan now

Thanks for the help

No problem, first time for this type of problem we just have to look at a work around

 

Works perfect thanks

Only thing is I will have to sort out all the favourites again lol

Thanks very much for having me up and running again

No problem we are working on a solution to this problem.

 

Sorry, just want to ask you one more thing.

As you know I only got this box last night so I'm a nOOb at digital tv ect....the pc is more my thing but I see on another site there is a channel dump for "Firhouse", which is in Dublin and it just happens the guy I got the Box from lives in Firhouse lol so it more than likely is him that upped the channel dump file there.

At the minute I don't know how to flash/channel dump "The Box" but what I want to know is, if I was to download the channel dump for firhouse, would all the channels be sorted into favourites the way the guy installed them on my box, or because I done a factory reset, would I have to sort them out myself into catogories .

Thanks
Sandisk

 

Yes but you need to download the Starview Channel Editor, (SVCE), you will find this in the Starview folder on Eamos Library at the end of my post.

All bin files up to today will not work as they were using the frequencies up to yesterday. As there is a new freq today you will have to use only channel dumps created after the fix today.

I am sorry but I am leaving for a while but I will be back on later.

 

Thanks very much for the info

 

Hi ScOuser,
I also had missing channels on The Box today and followed your tip to do Factory Reset & AutoScan. However, only 37 channels were returned (and not a decent one amongst them!!) - Can you assist please

 

1.factory settings,password 0000or master code 1668,press ok for it to delete the channels
2.pick your language,english then press ok.
3.now your in the main menu,press down once,you should be on user setup,press 1570.
3.now your in the cas menu,go to emu and turn it on,exit
4.go to installation,cable network n**,automatic scan.
5.once its done scanning,press exit a couple of times to get back to your channels.

if it doesn't work the first time try again

 

Thanks,
did all of this 3 times (plugged it out from wall also)but I still only have 37 channels back on. Any ideas ?

 

Are you sure your doing a factory reset correctly ? Cause before I did a factory reset, I did an auto scan and it brought back 37 channels exactly.....but after a factory reset and then an auto scan, it brought back all my stations.

Good luck
Sandisk

 

I think so ! There's not much to it other than selecting it, putting in the code and pressing OK - am I missing anything ?

thanks

 

If it hasnt worked first time you need to do a factory reset again and go through a full installation again. Make sure your key emu is on after this.

 

hello had the same problem as above fixed it but the channels are all in iregular order for example discovery, rte, mtv, sky movies etc is there anyway to fix this??
