    More than likely it will only come with FTA firmware and will not work for "all" channels. You need firmware version 4.57 and loader 4.03. You will find all you need in Eamos at the end of my post.

    BTW you do realise that most Starview 2s available now,will be clones where did you get it from?

    Take a look around you will find all the answers you need, if not post back ;)

    hi thanks for the reply the person that i got the box from has had it for 2 years,so im hoping that its genuine and he has been using it in the uk,so if it is genuine do i need to do a factory reset to clear the uk software before i put the ireland software on it?or do i just do a scan on my provider i appreciate your help on this.
