    Check the link marked Starview Info Dooby2oon at the bottom of my post click on clones and tell me if you have a genuine or clone starview.

    Try the following. Have your GTROM loader ready to flash with the firmware. As soon as you flik the power on button hit "go" on the gtrom. With a bit of luck the firmware will install fresh.

    Make sure you know the difference betweenstarview firmware and "theBox" firmware depending on what you have.
