it probebly the guy who made the 260 file

 

yeh it does look a bit dodgy

 

TEZZER007.
you mean this is the guy who made the original 260 or change it for clone.?

 

if this guy can bring it back from the dead then the fix will apear here in no time at all.
just bide your time as this wont and cant be kept a secret , trust me

 

Hi guys first post on here i flashed my m8s box with 260 its dead i hear you can revive them using jkeys or skyup ive looked at this and have to admit its beyond me lol, so i might try the guy who fixes them for £20.00 , i wont be buying THEBOX its a starview as far as i can see and not worth the price , my m8 bought a digivox instead and he is chuffed to bits with it cost him £85.00 that includes delivery so shop around folks is my advice .

 

It is funny now that all the cloned boxes are going down someone just happens to come along that knows how to fix them maybe this is what the W****** is doing then putting them into the other case and calling them The Box because the boxes are like for like in looks and design?????

 

Hi, I did not realise that you needed software to unscramble tv stations with the starview box. Can anyone tell me where I can download it. From the forum I think I need STARVIEW 257 API.bin. Any advise,
Thanks

 

Hi bnou

Go to page 6 and it is at the top of the page click on the blue link that says starview also look under that for all the further information you require to put it on your box best off luck

 

Hi all,

In Dublin. Just bought StarView box and found 175 channels but aside from 9 or 10 FTA channels, I'm getting the 'Scrambled or Bad Channel' message. Tried doing the menu, parental control, info + 2004 but nothing doing. New to all this. Any help gratefully appreciated.

 

Didn't get a CD with the box either, just a cable to connect to PC.

 

Hi All
Here is some interesting news for all about the 260 file i found
There has been a lot of uncertainty over the 2.60e_E bin file that came out recently for the Starview receiver. I have been looking into this in depth and have found out quite a lot. A lot of people will say it is to do with "clone" receivers but I won't entertain that term myself. There are 2 versions of the Starview out at the moment and this does not include the new Starview called "The Box". One of the versions is bigger than the other, does not say "Made in Korea" on the box or receiver and has a slightly bigger remote and the rear panel layout is different to the other as this one has the Scart sockets on the left as you look at the back. The second version is smaller than the first one, does say "Made in Korea" on the rear panel and packaging box, has a slightly smaller remote and the Scart sockets are on the Right as you look at the rear panel. This one has been called a "clone" by some. Both have now ceased production I believe but I cannot be certain of that. The real main difference between the two is the bigger box's processor runs at 85MHz and the smaller box's processor runs at 65MHz. Now this is where the 2.60 bin file comes into it. The 2.60 bin file released on the 26/04/2007 was designed for the LARGER box only which runs at 85MHz. This is why the smaller box fails after a short time, hours, days or even weeks, because the processor cannot cope with the increased speed. The 2.60 bin file was only designed for the larger boxes through who has them made and imports them as they do not want to support other versions, which they say are "clones". There is now a "fixed" version of 2.60 out now which is modified by a distributor of the smaller receivers to run the same as the previous 2.59 and 2.57 versions and be safe for the smaller boxes. Both files are available and are safe to use but only as stated above for each box. These could be posted in our downloads but I will leave that up to satman to decide. In any event, any software that is downloaded from anywhere on the internet comes with some element of risk but we do ensure to only upload files that are safe. Therefore the 2.60 file that was on here for a short time WAS safe as I first said but only for the larger type Starview receiver which at that time, no-one knew that this was the case, except the developers of this file. Whether this was an underhand tactic to destroy the other, smaller version of Starview or not has been argued on other forums but I have no time for that. I hope this report of my findings help clear up the recent events with Starview files and even though there are safe versions of 2.60 for both types of boxes, there really is no dire need to update as previous versions all work on autoroll so the choice is yours.
This is based on my findings only and is for information only as no doubt people on other forums will disagree.

 

Yeah but m8 how can you re set factory settings when you cant power the box up .

I have no idea why it says that?/
Only just noticed it myself>>

 

how can the prosasser of the small box be forced to run faster by the 260 bin file . i though it would just run at its flat out speed of 65 and work a bit slower , rather than run overspeed and burn out .
strange , i dont understand this
