STARVIEW DIGITAL BOX

they have mains cable ...no roof ariel

 

Ok you have sent them the wrong box as that box will only work with an ariel on the roof for MMDS only

that is why they are getting the different menu you will need to swap for a stsrview 2TheBox

What you got was the starview 2 TheBoxT

you will not get that to work on any cable network only ariel on roof

 

Thanks for that , i'll try get it changed

 

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.
Can anybody help me on my starview box. Struggling to get alot of the channels for some reason had the box for about 9 months. Want to reset factory settings and so on. However my password is not working, must of some how been changed and cannot use the sections which require a password to change things.

What can I do???
Is there way to get my password sorted???
Tried 0000 no joy!

 

try 1668

 

yeah it works. thanks very much.

 

good let me no if you have any more proplems

 

This may be the totally wrong thread I have posted on so applogize in advance.

I currently have cable broadband only in my flat. Will I be able to connect the starview box direct to this cable and view or is the tv signal not activated on the line. Will it just be the broadband signal only?
I have heard that as broadband comes from the tv tap in the cab it will send the tv signal automatically along the line?, is this true?
or will the broadband line be totally dead for digital tv signal?

hope that makes sense?

 

dont know if im right but i have cable broadband connected to my computer and n** split the cable and connected to my telly also.

 

Yes you are correct it will work on your broadband connection as long as it is coaxial and not ADSL.

 

its just the coax cable that comes into the flat, they did not install a phone. i only wanted broadband.
i just dont want to get a box and then find out no tv signal is coming into the flat as no way to check.
someone said that if broadband is active then so is tv as uses same line. all you need to do is get a box and connect it and it will work???

 

Yes that is correct. Who is your BB provider though?

 

Hi chaps

I hope everybody is well.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a dvbs box? I want to mess around with my S4y connection.

Cheers

 

sc0user I am on Virgin media (previously ntl)

 

You cannot mess around with Sly, just not possible.

 

Well then your good to go

 

thanks...its what i thought but did not want to be a tit and get a box and nowt happens.

 

No problem, always worth double checking.

 

A friend of mine just a Starview Box and it won't pick up any channels. He can see the box menu on the Tv and when he goes to install (NTL) it shows TP 1-24 but fails on every one. The fact he is seeing the menu looks like the box is connected to TV ok, and he has the coax NTL cable in the cable input in the back of the box. This same cable in the TV will give basic NTL on TV. All appears to be set up properly yet it finds no channels. He has tried factory reset but no joy.
Any help???

 

If he only bought it he may need to flash it. What firmware is on it?
