Starview 6 From Start to Finish?

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and would like a bit of advice if possible

I have read a few threads about the starview 6 box but I kind of need a bit of an idiots guide to setting one up from scratch including where to find the exact firmware i need etc

I have just purchased a box tonight so should be here by tuesday hopefully then I will try and set it up myself.

Also, can anyone tell me if the box will last long? I had a dbox which isnt working now due to nag3 but worked for abt 3-4 years before now. Just looking for an idea if this starview 6 is my best option or not.



Thanks and sorry if any of you have repeated this in earlier posts but there are just so many to try and go through, would really appreciate any help.

also box is ment to last 1yr on server, but how long they are going to actually last, who knows any 1s guess

 

Thanks hooter, looks like a very good guide. Just hope it works well when i try and attempt it myself lol

After the year is up if it is a year is that the starview finished or will there be other servers or what?

Again I apologise if this questions been asked before. Also, when the starview 6 is up and running it is possible to view sky box office events like ppv boxing etc?

 

you are then ment to get another box

also yes about the ppv

 

ok thanks buddy, you reckon this is the best option to go for just now then?

Was considering the satelitte dreambox cardsharing thing but this seems less complicated.

 

the option you were going for would prob last a lot longer if doing between friends,
also a bit safer

unless you got the (krypt A780) (starview.6) to work on a prepay dongle, only a few got it going that way

 

What sort of price per month is it to get it working off a PAYG dongle?

 

i've not really got a clue how to set it up between friends or else that sounds like a good idea. Just lacking in a bit of knowledge about how to set up a server and stuff like that, is there any guides for that?

hi hooter,just to let you know that my starview is up and working now ,got it yesterday ,only took me about 15 mins to get it up an running ,so so happy now ,lets hope it last for at least a year.once again thanku very much for all your help and guidance,one quick question, does running the lan through your cable occure any extra charges to your internet supplier? i am not sure if i got unlimited usage so was just wondering or because it is streamin it doesnt effect it. cheers j

 

no, as your not streaming anything, your only decoding the chans via packet data sent to the box from a serv, which is a mere blip on your usage

 

ok thanks for that info mikah ,so its not really going to use much if hardly any at all,

many thanks j

 

My starview box just arrived and I am about to start following the instructions. Heres Hoping

 

do i have to put an area code into the starview box for where i live? was just having a browse through the instructions. Does anybody know what mines would be, i live near glasgow.

Thanks for all the help you have been.

 

i am currently downloading carling-1.01.ups, is this the latest firmware file?

 

thanks alot for all your help. Followed tutorial and was easy to set up.

Thanks guys.
