no that fix was 1.10 for bbc this is for the boxes that are killing the bootloader with the 1.10 firmware but not too sure how england are affected
how long do we have from loading v1.10 before it kills the box and are all sv4 going to be affected or do we know yet
thats what i was wondering a few posts back cos i put 1.10 on all my mates boxes with the understanding it was only an early batch affected but i have 1.12 on my own box just in case
e45, how did you hear about this V1.12 release? Do starview have an official site or place where they issue their releases? There has been no V1.11 released no? Skipped from V1.10 to V1.12
is it working ok im out of the country my box is all alone will it die no one knows how to put v1.12 on it only me
i wouldn`t worry too much if you only bought it recent and its left on standby cos its killing mostly clones but it has killed a few genuine boxes from an earlier batch but still haven`t got confirmation if all boxes with 1.10 are in danger
some one there watching it would it be better disconnected altogether or i suppose if it goes it goes will keep an eye on information thanks a million any way
as i said dont be worrying unless its a clone and better off keeping the box on cos if the bootloader did go it would still work when left on but as soon as it is turned off it wont go back on and just watch out for a message that has appered on boxes before they died it will read "invalid box " so just keep an eye
I'm in Ireland and have two friends whose boxes have died due to this problem. One bought his box a couple of months ago but the other only bought his last week. He had it on pre-order from a very reputable site that is well known on these boards so it's definitely a genuine box from the latest batch to leave the factory. basically I have 2 questions: 1) Does V1.12 fix boxes that have already been fried or does it have to be installed before the box dies as a preventative measure? 2) Will all genuine boxes with the V.BETA be affected or is it just the odd one or two? CHeers.
1) Does V1.12 fix boxes that have already been fried or does it have to be installed before the box dies as a preventative measure? If its a genuine box, return it to the supplier, if it hasnt died yet, put the new firmware on it now 2) Will all genuine boxes with the V.BETA be affected or is it just the odd one or two? its happening to some not all, but as above, put the new firmware on now before ya relize you have a problem one.
hi im using 1.7 never had any probs 2 boxes running on this since it came out can anyone tell me should i upgrade to the new 1,12 or what as im not sure now what to do, no probs on 1.7 even the epg works a treat so i am in to minds to saty with the 1.7 any help please thanks
its up to you, if you have a genuine box and confirm it is one beofre hand, then load the new version, its your call, but the firmware is to fix an issue before it happens

I've just installed 1.12 on what I believe to be a clone (silver heatsink) and it seems to be working ok. Dublin West NtHell
Uploaded v1.12 onto two sv4's. Both had v1.10 only installed last week as they were only bought brand new last week! Both are genuine boxes. Had no problems with v1.10 but uploaded v1.12 just to be on the safe side. Everything is working fine on both!
i just installed it not working ,screen is just blank so i rebooted v1.10 back into it and it working fine again by the way im on ch*r*s in l*m*r*ck area ,bought my starview 4 the week they came out never had a problem with it really , dont understand why it went from v1.10 to v1.12 obviously it works for some people but if it aint broke dont fix it !!!
Reason you got a blank screen is because you did not do a factory reset and rescan, i bet when you flashed the box back the to v1.10 the channels came back on straight away, ? or did you not turn the key code back on ?? if it works for everyone else, cant see why you are any different, lots of other people are on ch$$$$ as well and have had no problems.
A friend of mine has a Starview while I have a Eurovox. Will v1.12 fix Nagra 2 on the Starview 4 in Dublin
