Starview 6 working!!

Also, could someone please explain how/why you can only have the box for a year?

cheers

 

if you google starview 6 a list of suppliers will appear,i have my own supplier,i will not advertise them here.as regards the life span of the box,it appears there is a built in timer in the box and after one year the box goes dead,there is a possibility it could go dead before that?who knows...

 

and its not clearing N3, this box is a lan cable box which use's the same principle of CS on Sat,

 

reswob a built in timer so lets say i buy a box in aug/sep i will only get 6 months or so as box was realeasd mid feb? or my 12 months so this would mean the box would run beyond its lifespan.please dont pick me up wrong i am delighted for all you guys who are enjoying viewing as i speak but i am not convinced too many questions unswared

 

you seem to know it all anyway why bother

 

jackoooh,the clock is activated when you switch the box on,if you switch the box on in june it should switch back of the following june,or so im told.that IF is very big at the moment,LOL

 

hi does anyone know if the the starview hd combo will work like the starview 6 has i was thinking of buying one for the hd channels or does sv6 give that cheers
ps new to all this and have only just got sv5 and have lost all channels

 

it sounds a bit like mission impossible(this tape will self destruct)thanks reswob

 

yea,now that you mention it.lol

 

That would certainly kill the second hand market anyway. Maybe someone here will work out a hack to reset the internal timer. If that happens, maybe I will be more interested in investing (as I'm sure everyone else would be). But I'd be fearful of using it with their broadband due to potential packet sniffing - would have to change supplier I guess but that's no skin off my nose

 

the Sv firmware has always been closed source and for very good reason. Think its just the case of thats the deal with the boxs, dont like it, dont buy one and vice versa

 

i am based in the west midlands & my provider is virgin.wished i hadnt brought the box now i knw it only lasts a year

 

thats cause the box is for ireland, not england, your picking up chans that are prob on sim freqs as over here, but in your case are free to view in the Uk

 

do you know the freq to scan to and from on the sv hd combo mate?

 

is 6875 set up yet?

 

nope not that i have heard yet, tru cable nthell at the min

 

will the box be able 2work in england at sum point thow?
if not which box dus work in england n were is best to get it from?

 

no box currently working in the UK, if they do release firmware for the box to work in the UK, it could be a case of flashing your box with this firmware, but at present no firmware for the UK nor boxs working either

 

Hijust got a sv6 got some channels working but not sports or movies its says not connected on the bottom of the screen also says scrambled any help would be appreciated.i live in Dublin on nthell

 

did you read back on tis thread? the guys posted some stuff that may help you get it working, I take it you flashed the box before using it?
