thankx for trying karljd. I was going to check with my mates tomorrow but thought I would try you guys first incase you had came across this before.It is just so frustrating that I have done loads before with no problems and like you guys if I can help people out then I like to try.

 

v8 was dropped in favour of 7.09 i had similar problem with 2 sv1 boxes one worked the other not,until i changed the stb model reference,worth a try.

 

cactikid , how do you change the stb model number.(idiots guide would be good.)

 

Did you have a look at the info i gave you here?? is/was it any help?

guys i'm having a similar problem, igot a usb to rs232 adapter and it aint working when i try and doewnload software, is there any way of check if the usb to rs232 is working as i bought on e bay

 

some work some dont,have u checked ur settings and did u get a disc with the adaptor.

 

when the gt rom is on as in front of you it has stb and to the far right it has an arrow iclicked on that

 

cactikid,
when i click on the drop down arrow it only has the same model in the box GCR 3510. what did you change it to.

 

GTR 3510 for starview 1
sv3 can u flash it v6.00 to see if that works.are boxes old or new?

 

the sv1 is an old box but is not a clone as it has 25 vents.The sv3 boxes are all brand new bought from e-bay without software.

 

What cactikid is saying, is that the Model no: GCR 3510 is the model no: for the Starview 1, exactly what firmware are you loading onto the SV3s.

 

I have tried loading GTRom Super 8 without success so then tried 709e BETA and had no joy with that.I have even tried going back to 6 without success.As I tried them on 2 computers with 3 different RS232 cables I am going to try it on a mates computer to see if it works on his. It is just that I have not changed anything since I done about 20 just 3 weeks ago and haven't unplugged the lead from my computers.

 

Yes I have read your posts, you would be better to try it at someone else's PC, can't really understand why you are having these problems though if as you say you have flashed plenty OK before.

 

thanks to all that tried.i will check it out and let you know the result.i am wondering if my anti-virus has maybe deleted a file somewhere along the line.

 

You could be right there, as you say your only alteration to PC was the PC Guard from Vir**n, but I am using the same antivirus software with no problems. Hope you get sorted I'm sure you will, good luck with it anyway.

 

did u try deleting files off pc and download fresh ones and loader?

 

Tried that today cactikid without success.checked it on a mates laptop using the same cable with a USB connector and managed to download new firmware onto the sv1 so there must be something wiped on both my computers since I upgraded from netguard to pcguard.this maybe help others and i will post if i find out what it wiped.thanks to all that helped.don't know where we would be without you all.

 

It would be of great help if you manage to figure it out and post it funky, good luck with it anyway.
