Just to let you know aswell i have not tried downloading anything as no disc came with the box so I was not aware of what to download!!!
You more than likely have 2.60 firmware installed and you will need to update it You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F. Null modem info http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6 If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable. USB Adapter info http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay. All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library. You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link. You will need version 4.50 firmware for THE B0X found in "THE B0X" firmware folder. And please download the Starvi*w PDF guide,(this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starvi*w Documentation folder in the link.
They put one of these connectors in the box alright so now i connect it to my pc and the box and then what do I do!!! Is there some site I should go to for these updates!! Oh how complicated this is!
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 Starview 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 Turn off and turn back on , then plug your tv cable and scart back in

Are you sure you have a NULL MODEM CABLE ? You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F. Null modem Cable http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6 Or was this lead supplied with our b0x , Sounds like the rs232 cable and that wont work You will need version 4.50 firmware for THE B0X found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.
