Starview combo the next option?

maybe you should tell this guy lincsat he supplies that box here is the link

http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-59/evolution_iconnect-848567/16#5166791

ask him where ya going to get a fix for it and see will he even respond to you

 

Ive pm'd him, ive been searching the net and looks like a few are in the same boat without a paddle!

 

A few is an understatment there are lots not only on this forum but others as well and that goes for the combo box as well

should have put it to him the open forum for all to see what his response is that way everyone will know if you ever get a reply from him that is

 

get on to your box supplies who gave you the box
ive had 1 person so far who got sorted by whoever he got his box from!

 

Already contacted him but i don't expect any response to be honest!

Ive tried everything possible with this box, ive even managed to get the box in test mode by holding down up/down buttons when powering on, and the mac fails when trying to test it, ive tried a reset by holding down the power button whilst turning back on.

I'm sure someone will come up with a fix soon, i'm almost going back to tv my supplier with my reddies in hand as i'm that fed up with the thing.

 

how long do you have the box

 

regardless he is still a starview supplier and as such should have information on what is happening or what they are going to do to fix this problem

so much for support !

 

i agree there, the people who is in that much supply of them should have an idea of a fix for them

 

fix from the box distrubation for the starview hd combo

THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!


You will need:

A computer with a serial port

A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)

The following file: http://www.theboxdistribution.co.uk/files/SVHD+FIX.zip

Once you have the above:

Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)

UNZIP the file downloaded

open HD-200_Download.exe

Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)

Turn on receiver with rear switch

bar will start counting to 100%

WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!

Turn off receiver and back on

P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)

Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.

If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:

Go to accessory - network - ip config

Set IP to manual

You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)

apply then exit.

Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.

I hope this helps

Your a top bloke thank-you very much for this info. I will try this tomorrow and should hopefully be back up and running.

Thanks everyone for your help within this thread.

 

lets know how you get on

 

I'm trying to upload this fix, all goes ok until it's supposed to take the software and go to 100%, nothing happens it just sits at 0% and won't take the software when i switch the box on at the back.

I'm using the same null modem cable that i used to update my starview 2 with so i know it works, ive also tried a different laptop.

Any ideas?

Update: box is now bricked!

wont turn on at all, does anyone fix these boxes for a cost?

 

because you where supposed to use a usb pen drive to upload the firmware to the box if you had read the information you would have known this

 

you could have blown something inside
chap just fixed his today using the usb LINK

 

What happened was, we had a power cut whilst i was uploading some firmware at 55% to the box and once the power was restored the box wont come back on at all, all i have is a red light on the box thats it.

Not sure where i go from here now?

 

the only other option is "can it be J.Tagged" back to life
