Hi Alan , Had same problem a couple of weeks ago with new box's I bought , you need to verify your C**** codes 01 and 02 to make sure they are right - and change them manually if not, once done all pay per view will show ..

 

have you got the codes handy? please

thanks for getting back to me so soon

If people were to believe what Adrian Weckler wrote in an article in the Sunday Business Post yesterday, you would believe that the writing is on the wall for the Starview box.

He mentions how U** (new owners of N** and C*****) and Sly (which I find hard to believe) are growing increasingly concerned at the number of free digital boxes accessing their subscription based content. The reason I don’t believe Sly are getting concerned is that it’s a lot harder and more expensive to find something that works as easy as the box in terms of hacking the U** channels. He mentions that U** have been working hard recently on finding an alternative system to fend off these boxes, but it will be sometime before a workable solution will be released.

I’m sure the owners of UPC are very concerned at the minute with how easy people are finding it to access the channels, but they also seem to be aware that they will never prevent everyone from doing it. Apparently they aren’t after the odd enthusiast who trys to gain free TV. It’s the ordinary joe soap they are targeting now. Those that wouldn’t know where to turn if their boxes stopped working all of a sudden. In fairness to N**, the last few updates they made, had a big affect on joe soaps perception of the boxes. People I have spoke with now have the opinion that the starview boxes no longer work. So for me that was a successful campaign for N**.

Adrian also goes on to state that there is a misconception by people selling these boxes, that it is not illegal to do so. He even goes as far as mentioning the act that apparently proves that it is illegal to sell the boxes. Well in one way he is right and in another he is not. When you buy the starview boxes from the manufacturer, they aren’t able to automatically pick up the scrambled channels. You can’t even access a hidden menu to turn on the ability to do so. So it is up to the user to give the boxes the ability to “hack” the channels. They do this by downloading new firmware from the Internet, that allows them to turn on secret menu, which in turn allows them to turn on a key cracking functionality within the firmware.

In terms of U**’s attempt at bringing in a solution that will render the boxes useless, I’m personally unsure how successful this will be. Most encryptions used by TV companies have been hacked at this stage and anything new won’t take that long for the hackers to break. But in saying that, it’s not Mary down the road that’s going to have the knowledge to do this, it’s back to people in the know.

Anyway, I think Adrian should have done a bit more research into the starview and other boxes before making his assumptions surrounding it’s use. Even a few hours spent researching how they function would have made it a more informative article.

And so say all of us amen let this be an end to speculation and scaremongering

All firmware can be found in Eamos FTA Library at the bottom of my post. Use version 4.50 for The Box (Starview 2) as this is the most stable for now. Yes it will work on N** MMDS just do an autoscan.
