starview 6 with no display/ signal to tv

only the mac address remains the same

 

also the light does flash green at the start with a solid amber, but very intermittently.

 

yep thats the way it should be flashing green every couple of sec

now all you have to do is get the proper software on your box
you can do that with your usb stick and follow the guide i put in the links on post no#9
make sure you do a factory reset after you put the firmware on box before scanning in for channels

 

@lwn7461
try " mycablebox " for parts or " wizzard satellite " or google and you will come up with more shops

 

have actioned the instructions in no#9 twice, but i still cant get it working. it is still showing not connected to ustre. it will only show as connecting if moved to istre position.

 

you are in uk yes!

 

yes

 

that is wierd
does any channels come in if left on istream for 10 min
also you done `checklist on post#7 except for no.6 dont think it applys to hd box

 

post 7 has been done, just trying the istream, do you think the total reset will be required, given that we have tried eveything?

 

the ip address remains blank. only the mac code is visable

 

i would try a reset yes
also did you do a factory reset after you put firmware on box!

 

i did. thanks for bearing with me.

 

will the reset guarantee it to work as long as I install the grov 1st?

 

Sorry was away for a bit
you only need 1 firmware on your box, Always try with the latest/newest 1 out first,
I think i posted it in the link a couple posts back

(And do a factory reset "after" you put new/old firmware on the box everytime)

 

Hi, is any1 selling a Starview 6 Combo, that is ready to go. I currently have a SV1 (The Box), had it for 3 years, and was working great until couple of days ago.

please get back to me by PM or on this page.

cheers.

 

you need to go to the buy and sell section of Afterdawn and you are aware that the cable side of the combo is useless after a year and if your buying a 2nd hand one, the clocks already ticking on that year and the current performance of the cable side is next to brutal, just so a know beofre parting with the cash

Hello Hooter,

I have done the factory reset, I have checked that the mac address is present, I loaded the latest file as advised. It now refuses to detect any channels when it does an auto scan. This bit worked fine before. I have the latest carl file on. What am I doing wrong?

can you pick your area for a manual scan

 

i've no idea for that!
