    Starview working great for a while, left it on standby last night and got up this morning and the screens blank and the starview display says ‘0’

    Tried the good old on – off trick = comes on, brief glimpse at a channel then back to ‘0’ on display and black screen on tv

    Tried checking all the connections at the back, went for the turn it off at the wall and try in a half hour

    Nothings working at all

    Can anybody help

    Chelsea – Liverpool tonight!!!

    I’m former smellyvest – now on virgo

    Mate, sounds like you have a clone. This is a known issue.

    You will need to replace a capacitor inside the box. I have the same issue with one of my starview clones..

    Here is the fix. Hope your handy with a soldering iron.. lol
