STARVIEW BOX - FANTASTIC! BUT 1 SMALL PROB..

hi got no disc but prob is mine has reverted to ntl fron naGRAVISION SCREEN AND WONT SAVE THE TELEWEST SETTING WHEN I select it.

 

Mine was doing similar things yesterday when I was trying to fix it. For a long time I couldn't get rid of the parental control screen, then later I couldn't click on certain password controls. I left it unplugged for hours and it was okay later. It's all fixed now.

 

We all know that. The file has been available in this forum since Friday afternoon.

 

Hi, thanks. I couldn't find it, too busy panicking in case I wasted my £115. Box only 24 hrs old. I'm glad it's up and working again and I'm just trying to be helpful. Will try to read messages carefully in future.

 

Can you tell me exactly where on this forum is the new fix for yesterdays problem?

 

hi there mate, im having the problem which i think you have a solution to....so if u could please message me back asap so i could sort my box out. thanx

 

Hi, there's a fix on this forum somewhere, posted by Fekker. I can send you mine if you want but I need your email address.

 

whats the name of the file/software needed.

Mine was doing the same thing till someone emailed me a wee update file to add to it. Did you get a disc and a lead to connect to your PC when you got the box?

Since I started this post I have found that satdownloads is the place to be looking if you are a newbie like I was 3 weeks ago. Simple step by step instructions on getting your SVB working again - you will need a null modem serial cable or us to 9 pin serial femal cable/connection then its a 15 minute process found in "LUCID'S" set up guide in the Star View section on www.satdownloads.co.uk

Hope this helps as i know the feeling when youve shelled out loads on SV boxes & then they stop working!!!

 

Well its nice to know that a solution may be available.
The bad news is that I have no disk as the supplier assured me that it was all set up ( since he sold it to me he has been unhelpful). I also do not have a cable, but I guess that I can get one fairly quickly.
I would like to reload the software - any ideas where it may be available and the 'wee update' would be most useful.
Best regards and thanks for the reply

 

You dont need a disc - you can download the files from the link I posted to www.satdownloads.co.uk - just get a null modem cable or a usb to 9 pin serial cable from Maplins & follow instructions on SatDownloads.

 

Thank you very much for the reply - I guess i,m about to go shopping for a cable - again its much appreciated

Regards

 

get yourself an rs232 cable with both ends female andownload the new software then load into the sv box,you should be up and running again. i didnt need the new update as my box updated itself and is fine.good luck
