Starview 3 The Box Super - Flash Update fail...

Hi guys
just checking in as a matter of routine, waiting for the new firmware and I just had to laugh when I saw the flashing advert for a virgin media box......like the people on this thread are going to rush out and buy one .....HA

 

it will be in the starview 1 folder and will be posted on the forum first,as i have nothing to do with firmware updates i wouldn't have a clue as to what it will be called.

 

hi lads very new to this,i have down loaded firmware to my pc but cant download to my super box,it wont move off 0%,does anyone know what am doing wrong cheers.

 

hi guys can any1 tell me where to get the new updated for the starview 3..cheers

 

bluetate look in the eurovox folder under my pic to check and see if you have the right cables,
scotsbabe look in eamos library under my pic.

 

can anyone tell me where I can download the pure codes for my starview box are, apparently I need to do this each day and enter them to get the box to work again??
thanks

 

sorry not in here mate http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/662154

 

sorry, didn't realise.

know any forums I can use?

 

i ave the right cables as i have downloaded firmware once before!am
wondering is it anything to do with winzip as i have just purchased it online as my old one ran out of date/or is it because am using my lap top at a different address,thanks for your time and help karl.

 

hi just downloaded the new firmware for the starview 3 but when i try to download it on to a usb stick ( cause i cant connect my box to my pc) it stays on 0% any ideas

 

how will usb stick work on your box?if you need it for another pc or laptop download again in your new location,or put it on a dvd.

 

bluetate that happened with my nieces and it was caused by her laptop set on com port 9 instead of com port 1. she changed to 1 and it worked right away.

 

not on my box,...lol i cant connect the cable on this pc have to use an old pc, so put the firmware on a usb stick then on to the old pc

 

just use a dvd should be fine.

 

no it would have nothing to do with any of them,check you cable is secure in your pc and box,also turn thr box off press download turn it back on and see if it moves.

 

I have just joined up and not very good with computers can someone help me. I can't find where the rs cable goes on the computer to download new firmware for starview 3 box.

 

ok cheers

 

madger,
it gets connected on the back of the pc to the connection beside the blue and pink(on some pcs)or on the back near the bottom and is a mail connection with 5 pins above 4 pins with 2 lugs for screwing in the rs cable. Some laptops and new computers only have usb so you would need to buy another cable to download it.

 

my computer doesnt recognise the box

 

Thanks for your help much appreciated, do you know the name of the other cable I need as my computer does not have the mail connection
