starview box

Ok now you need to select either COM 1,2,3 or 4

From the previous steps , then do this

Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port 7 in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.

 

Can anyone help me please, I put on the latest update for my starview box and now it wont even turn on. The update was thebox_H20071015_454eE_ap, I have a genuine box.

Is my unit bricked or can i flash it back to factory settings and start again?

Cheers,
Leigh

 

have the ntl dubln codes changed??

 

any1??

 

if you had a starview, you should have put on Cryptstar-V1.4core400.

the other one is for the BOX-not sure if it works on Starview.

Try it and see what happens

 

Celtic I was reading the posts you done earlier about changing the com ports for the usb adaptor. Im having the exact same problem with mine. I done all the things you suggested and a download box comes up but nothing downloads to the box. Can you tell me what I need to do thanks

 

cheers for helping me last night got it working today thanks to DESB and MALCI

 

Are you sure you have the NULL MODEM CABLE plus the USB Adapter ?

 

I know its a null modem cable i flashed my clone with it last week using a desktop. I'm not sure about the adaptor. I got it with the cable in maplins. It says its for any RS-232 devices.

 

Some USB to serial converters only allow one way communication. Not sure if two way communication is required when flashing but this may be something to look at.

 

Hi guys,
I'm in Ireland and was talking to two NTL contractors the other day and they reckon that NTL (UPC) are going to start replacing their own digital boxes later this month in order to combat our Starview and Eurovox boxes. Has anyone heard anything similar ????

 

HI guys

Is there any thing we can do,

first of all you need a null modem cable and a usb adaptor if its a laptop then find out if you have a clone or a genuine box...you will find all the info you need on this link and if you get stuck just ask cos someone is always here to help.

forgot to say you can get a null modem cable and adaptor for just a few quid and at most computer shops.good luck!!

 

Many thanks, Vicatron, i hvae already bought a USB to R232 cable wil it work,

Just a little query, although by putting codes manually, every channel is back except 2, why??

 

i put the criptstar software onto my starview last week and all the channels have been working fine since but i lost some channels over the last week its only about 6 or 7 channels but their channels i like watching ye know

 

if you have your cable then you're halfway there!!just check which box you have....clone or genuine so that you get the right firmware...25 vents for genuine and 18 for clone is one of the clues.
i dont know about your two missing channels but here is a list of channel freq..you could try putting the two of them in manually
