STARVIEW 6 / 7 LAN UPDATING TUTORIAL

which they cant as they would not have what is needed starview will never be back in ireland

 

back again..
anyway, followed tutorial for starview 6 LAN.. id did not work. i tested me box in a few mates hoses... works in theres..(like 100 yards away) we are a nag 3 area.
. box says connected in thier houses, but still says not connected in my house, so will not descramble channels... any ideas guys??

cheers

 

what type broadband do you have?
same as your mates
or it could be your router!

 

broadband is cable.. same as me mates..
our routers are different tho.. how can i tell which routers will work?
ta

 

and i have 2 routers.. tried them both, but neither work!! does not work straight from modem either! ta...

 

try your mates router
or do you have a firewall on your router!

 

tryed me mates modem and router in my house.. it stil does not work!!..
yes there is firewall on my router, but there is firewall on his touter to.. n that worked it his house...

 

And you got a normal broadband connection when you connected his router/modem to computer?
!!But your box still did not work!!
You both have same cable, Same broadband
Wont work in your house, But will work in his!
You try his modem router in your house, And still no joy

Did you just try his "router with your modem", "his modem your router" at your house
Also did you try your modem/router in his house

i'm at a loss here why it wont work

ta

 

weird
its happened to a few i know
no 1 can explain how/why

 

Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial, i have successfully managed to setup the sv6. sweet!

 

Hi. I purchased a starview 6 recently. Ive followed the tutorial however no joy. Also tried guiness and carling but still no channels are coming up except 1 to 5, bbc 3 & 4 and itv2+1, the rest say "scramble". The ethernet cable is runnung through a wireless router, would this make any difference? I did have a starview 5 which stopped working in July due to virgin issuing new cards for the virgin box. I thought the starview 6 got round this because of the lan port?


Also double and triple checked wires etc and all seem to be ok.

 

CHECKLIST

1. cable is connected

2. lan (broadband) is connected

3. you presed 8989 on accessory and made sure everything is on/autoupdate.ect..

4. Menu - Option -networks - net application - Ustream

5. menu - options - osd setup - region, england

6. menu - options - network - ip setup, auto (ip address should be seen)


when you say ethernet is running through wireless router
you mean your b.band comes to your router wireless, if yes, i have seen a few that had has this problem
also try a couple of different lan cables
as i had a few that would work on computer but not on box!

 

how come racing uk doesnt work on this box

 

Thanks for the tutorial. I have got the box to work but right now its wired directly into my router with ethernet cable, is it possible to connect the box to my wireless router with a homeplug or does it have to be wired?

 

yes buy home plugs and they will be fine

 

Do you need a modem or can you just connect straight to router?

 

you need a modem to connect to your router and then from your router to your box
