    hey, i have a starview box its about one year old, its not a clone. its been working fine apart from the odd channel missing now and again until about 2 hours ago. every channel went blank or scrambled. I checked the emu was on alright and tried the obvious turing it on and off. I then found some other site which told me to do a factory reset but still no joy. Ive tried another site which told me to change the keys 00 and 01 but that also has had no effect, can anybody please help? thanks

    did u do a factory reset,0000 to delete,english power off box for a min/on english,instal.select provider and autoscan,channels found,exit out,menu1570,key emu to on,exit out.
    if codes change and box does not autoroll,that happens.

    Try this & see if you get your channels back.

    go to "set default key"
    press ok, Exit to s*y sports & let it update.

    Are you still stuck in language?, if so see if this works.
    Press ok to select English
    Press ok to select installation
    choose provider
    autoscan
    channels found
    Exit back to viewing

    I think you`re going to have to flash it.
    If you`re in Ireland use the 4.50
    In the uk use 4.51
    you`ll find all the Firmw@re & loader in the "st*rview the b0x" folder in eamos library, here
