    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?ModuleNo=29968&source=2001&doy=search

    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 Version 4, (Starview Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

    You will need version 2.57eE fixed firmware found in the Starview firmware folder.

    And please download the Starview PDF 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.


    Sorry I have to leave I have kids and the toy show is on, so you can imagine :)

    i have THE BOX version 4.54. i cant access the hidden menu tried menu 1570 and info2004. I have read that i need to put v4.50 on it. Would having 4.54 stop me getting the secret menu?

    No bother darst as far as i no if you flash 450 you need to go up in stages to 454 ie 452 453 454 but 450 is stable so no need to update for the moment,if as you say justa matter of hooking the thing up

    Can somebody please help, this is driving me crazy.

    I have updated the software with almost every software (clone, not clone)

    I have put in all the recommended codes from oct 17 etc for every company, checked and stored.

    Turned EMU ON etc and scanned it etc...

    Every time I keep getting the same thing.. The box will pick up channels when finished scanning and you go to the channel it plays sound for 2 sec of a channel then keeps crashing and rebooting and crashing etc....

    AHHH please help it is driving me INSANE!!!
