    No trouble at all you can upgrade to 4.53 but you will need to upgrade to 4.52 first and then to 4.53 so I will stick with the guide for 4.50. After that you can come back. 4.50 is fine for what you require for now.

    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info here

    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 here

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Modu...erial 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 FTA Library.

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

    You will need version 4.50 firmware found in "The Box" firmware folder.

    And please download the Starview PDF guide,(similar instructions as to "The Box" guide), this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starview Documentation folder in the link.

    Well after two days of the codes my box has has reset again and all the channels are down

    the codes I am using are

    Telewest

    00- 26 86 97 CB FE DB E7 F2
    01- 51 6D 0F 08 41 BB D5 D8

    I can't update mine with the RS lead because my pc doesn't have the RS end on it only USB and It won't work with a RS X USB lead either it doesn't recognise it

    Any idea on the new codes?

    Scouser, Celtic71, i need your expert help please! have been trying to help a friend with 2 Starview generation 1 boxes,it is really a perplexing problem!have made sure they are genuine,loaded proper software e.t.c. followed all steps closely and made sure default button was saved and crossed all the T`s and dotted all the I`s e.t.c,But Still problems happening.boxes have been running properly for about 6 months,until the last two weeks,then started falling out of sync and scrambling to the point that channels are almost unstable.I.E. they read as channel 104,105, 106, and so on,happens about the same time each evening, and nothing brings them back, boxes are based in south Dublin on "empty hell" any ideas? i am starting to think that their signal is being halved by a neighbour or something like that, have either of you two gurus got any ideas?

    Are they using it from the main feed or using a Splitter ?

    If using a splitter , the signal could be too weak
