    If broadband is from cable provider, connect that cable into box(cable in) & scan for channels. If scan works Split that cable to supply B/B modem & box

    Thank god for that. If you had sent me or Mickah a PM giving details from the start this could
    have been sorted 3 days ago. There are many old cable points in peoples houses that are no
    longer being paid for.Provs don't bother calling round disconnecting these, but if they are
    called out to fix a problem they will cut off any cables that are not being paid for. Me and
    Mickah did suggest in earlier reply's that cable may have been cut off

    glads yer back working, just bear in mind, that your box is near 12 months old, so this will be shut off soon, so its either a new box or a kryptview for the cable, the SV lan combo are not made anymore, so bear that in mins if this is the box ya want

    Am only missing a few now, but I got the + 1 Hour on them so no worries.
    with the starview box can you plug more than one thing in the USB via a hub? I`ve got a wireless plugged in but the box won`t recognise the flash drive I plug in to the hub.
    Are you only allowed one?

    You need to give more detail. Firstly is your box Combo+LAN. If so do you have Internet
    connected to LAN-port or USB-port on box. What items are you connecting that you need a hub.
    Check flash is formatted to FAT-32. Try USB-stick direct to box without hub & see will it work. Your internet is supposed to connect to LAN-port & USB-stick to USB-port so you should
    not need hub. If you are connecting wireless dongle to USB-port for internet connection you
    could get a LAN-USB adaptor to connect dongle & use flash drive in USB-port.
    Regarding your channels, Fac-reset & rescan using 6952. If you are missing channels try 6887
    What signal levels show on your box

    At the mo, my SV 7 is connected to the net via a wireless bridge, no ethernet cable being used. I know the FD works on the box cos I gave my sister one to use, its ok. I`ll grab a LAN-USB adaptor and let you know! Everytin else I`ll check this week when I get chance.

    Let me verify a few things things. I thought you had Combo+LAN box because this is a HD-Combo
    thread you are posting in. The box you have is actually SV7. You are connecting wireless bridge
    to box USB-port. Try wireless bridge in adaptor to rs232 on box. If it works box USB-port will
    be free for flash drive

    hi guys just found this article on another site looks like the starviews have finished for good..


    Final nail in the coffin for starview with servers been sized and 3 men arrested

    Television Fraud Charges

    Three men have been arrested as part of an investigation by Derbyshire police into television fraud.

    Officers executed a warrant at a house in Fernwood Close, Littleover, Derby on Tuesday February 2nd 2011.

    The warrant was part of an investigation into a conspiracy to defraud Virgin Media by enabling access to TV content without payment.

    Detective Sergeant Graham Prince, of Pear Tree CID, said: “We have been working closely with Virgin Media as part of an investigation into TV fraud. It is alleged that this is a key part of an operation to defraud Virgin Media.”

    Malcolm Davies, Virgin Media’s head of fraud and security said: “We take this matter extremely seriously and will continue to work closely with all the police forces throughout the UK to prosecute individuals connected with this type of TV fraud.

    “We urge anyone with information about people supplying or using illicit equipment to receive Virgin Media TV channels to continue to call our confidential hotline on 0800 096 7800.”

    A 47-year-old man, a 33-year-old man and a 60-year-old man were arrested. Following interview they were all charged with conspiracy to defraud.

    They appeared in court this morning, the two older men were bailed, the younger remanded into police custody.
