    Is it an genuine S******w or a clone count the vents on top of the box to confirm whether it is or not
    18 slots x7 rows = clone
    25 "x7 " = genuine

    Also what api version is on your box ?

    No problem , just come back when you have the info

    Basically if you have any other firmware other than 4.00 you will need to update it


    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6

    If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

    USB Adapter info

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor

    These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

    All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

    You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

    You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

    And please download the Starvi*w PDF guide,(similar instructions, this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starvi*w Documentation folder in the link
