Starview 4 not receiving all channels

Just got a Srarview 4 out of the box , went through installation as advised with instructions using NTL in Dublin as provider , but only getting 6 channels , any suggestions on what I need to do next please?Do I need to update the firware ?

 

yes all boxes are freeview only it will need to be updated.

 

thanks for the reply,when you say updated , I take it you mean adding the following files theboxsuperusb_v1.02_beta & TheBoxSuperUSB_BG_LOGO_080904 via the usb port with a usb memory stick?Can you confirm this ?thanks

 

That is correct you obviously know where to find the firmware, complete with instruction/guide, Eamo's FTA Library at the bottom of post.

 

Thanks Malci , much appreciated, I`ll give it a try later and let you know how I get on,
Cheers,

 

Please do, good luck.

 

Malci,

tried updating the firmware as you said , but it just hung on 8 % download , left it for 20 mins , no change.Had to power the starview box down.After that the box wouldn`t boot , just kept getting 8888 on the LED display on the front..........any suggestions ?

 

Have you tried the latest firmware in Eamos its 1.05. The problem with an SV4 is you cannot carry out the same bad flash method as previous SVs.

This is of course due to the fact that it is via USB other than RS232. All I can say is factory reset and try flashing with 1.05. What size memory stick are you using?

 

thanks Scouser , but how do you perform a factory reset on the starview ?....can`t even get it to boot to the Box screen,just get a blank screen and the 8888 on the front LED panel.
I`m using a 4Gb usb pen.
Any suggestions?

 

Hi valkyr07 and all, I got a Starview 4 two days ago and did exactly the same as you, tried to upload the firmware, but am now only getting a blank screen and 88 82 stuck on the LCD. Nothing works. Did anyone find a solution for this or how do I perform a factory reset? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

 

Hi TTFC,

did you try to update with version 1.05 ?

 

Hey all.
I got one of these Starview 4 USB boxes, turned it on and flashed the firmware to 1.05 no probs.
Thing is, I still ojly have the free-to-air channels?
What am I missing?!

 

Where are you and have you turned the keycode to ON but you need another firmware. The update to that firmware is this, and it is the UK fix that you will need to put onto your box, to unscramble them okay. ......
