StarView Box 3 - No channels found

Your just looking for a free trip from the airport, next time your in this part of the world LOL

 

hey folks i have a question...when bluetate did his box he got 302 channels...how come i only get 176??

 

he's in the uk vic aren't you in dublin?

 

yeah...think i'll move back!!all them channels!!

 

No need vicky, there is a lot of them channels just BBC test channels that's all, done a good job though - it is a pain trying to get across the importance and procedure of installing the USB adaptor - connection and selecting/assigning the correct COM port, very patient and a job well done, I'm happy - bluetate's happy, and we are all happy,

 

me too!!

Hi just bought a Starview 3 box and understand I need to download an update from websie but the cable they have sent does not fit my pc i hear an adapter is available but i don't understand why this needs to be done the other SV3s i've had needed no downloads
could this be a clone?

 

all boxes are now sold as FTA and as such have no firmware installed so you need to put it on yourself

this is what you need for your pc to connect to that cable

usb adapter

 

can he not do a box to box transfer fergus?

 

Welcome Back Fergus....good to see you back!!

 

thanks for that but i don't have a port like that on pc only thing near is monitor connection which dosn't fit anyway
the ones i bought a month ago did not require this

 

yes he can do box to box transfer if he wants your pc will have a usb port that is what that adapter goes into the other end you put the cable into and the other end of that goes on the box


Also you will not be able to buy boxes from any supplier with software installed as it is against the law and they are been prosecuted in the uk at present

yes thanks des mate

 

sorry fergusrb
didn't look at other end of cable any idea what model no of cable is i'm sure i'd get one at maplins but there robbers lol

 

go to user set up in the main menu then onto the last option s/w transfer have your main box with the latest software on connected to the tv and connect the box without the software to the main box with the null modem cable then press ok on code sw

 

you will get them on flebay cheaper just do a google search for rs232 cables and you will come across the adapter then

 

ok will try that lads cheers

 

cheers that worked a treat guys
you would think the seller could have told me that
