Very nice of you to say mate, regulars give out the same info constantly on here and we just learn overtime what usually solves the problem/s, as said you got yours sorted via an older PC so glad your sorted and hope to see you around passing on what you have learnt to others.

Cheers and enjoy the rest of your weekend .

Good evening Malci

 

This wasn't my first time flashing box have done starview 1 months ago through my laptop..tried two three weeks ago to update super on laptop n would not work when I asked I just kept being told that it was probably due to large volume of people tryin to do same.. so sorry for putting in post about using xp instead of vista as i did read through a few comments and did not see anything about xp vs. vista..

 

THanks for the post without getting mad with me.. it seems to be goin fine anyway thanx again.

 

rachmarie - No-one is getting mad at you, I certainly was not, I am more than pleased for you that you flashed your box super. Was just suggesting that you would have found that method by using the (search) function at the top of the page, for instance I put one in and came up with posts referring/recommending the use of that procedure going back in excess of 12 months.

Also I am not suggesting that Vista or the USB adaptor won't work, because they both do and will, it is a matter of installing the correct drivers and the correct assigning of the COMM port, but it does tend to cause people a lot of unneccessary grief/headache, other's get it done first time, hence the advice given.

Evening HiTeck, hope you are well mate, that new box looks a little pricy - but usual good update done

Acknowledged macnaxos - Good Luck and take care

 

Hi, first of all thanks again for the advice of updating my super usb 4 box, couldn,t have been easier. just a quick question.in the menu channel edit it doesn,t give you the option of moving the channels, is this order of channels fixed or is there a way of moving the channels, thanks

 

SV4 USB sorts the channels auto by channel number as they are on a CC STB box (subbed box). You cannot change the order,there is no SORT OPTION (its there but its yellow/greyed out and you cannot choose it),on the other hand you can skip channels you dont want to watch via channel edit>skip option,that way you can keep the channel for future vewing, but when you are channel hopping it will skip past(wont show) the ones you have selected to skip, also you could use the favourites option to put your channels in different favourite sections.

 

thanks for the information, much appreciatef

 

hi every one i sound like that doc of simpsons there lol ive got a replay light my friend bought when i set it up it says no connection but ive done outher boxs no prob

 

Better off posting on a relevant thread to your box, to avoid any confusion this is Starview, try any of these. >>>>>>>>>>

A friend done sofware transfer from the box to starview1(i know he shouldn't have) but the starview is now frozen with the box on the screen .Is the starview now broken as no other menu can be got?

 

Leeds81 - There might be away to fx the original st*rview try folowing.
Connect to computer as normal,but have oer off at back,load up Gtrom with core 1.5 400e bin file,Press "download" and at the same time switch on the box at the back,this should force the flash and fix the problem

 

Thanks knotaclu will try this tomorrow and will let you know how i get on.

 

Hi guys,

a small problem with my St*rview 3 The Box Suoper. I have flashed it with 8.04 and it says download complete, but then the box says Ld80 and goes blank. No nos. or anything.

Any help would be much appreciated, as in the past, cheers.

 

hi malci but ive posted on that site no answer off them so thought id try here

 

Hi Guys,
I'm very frustrated.
I am a Box Super owner since Nov.
I have been unable to get the fix since mid Dec whel N*L scrambled the signal. I've downloaded the GTROM from Eamos library.
However CANNOT get the Box flashed.
I have PC with 2 COM channels.
Connected to Box with Null modem cable.
No matter what I do flash download stays at 0%.
I have also tried with mu laptop at home - no luck.
I've switched Box on/off several times.
Just cannot get PC to communicate with Box.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in adv.

Joe 90.

 

not an expert like the other genuises(you know who you are lads!!) but did you check and see if the com port designated to the null modem cable matches up?check in device manager and if they're different then you can change it.also most people find a lappy with vista wont download...xp seems to work a lot better.

 

hey everybody,problem with s***view 1 clone,sound good but picture is stickin evry second or two ,it was workin fine up til a week a go, have checked aerial connection no splitter all help greatfully accepted

 

could be a couple of simple things,digital works ongoing in your area or slighlty lose scart lead.give it a day or two to see if it resolves itself after trying all other options

 

i have tried a couple of scart leads re flashed it three times ,any other suggestions
