    Hey guys, my E4+ was crackling so I deleted it and rescanned it assuming that I would get it bak better like I do with most other channels. It hasn't come back though and I've been rescanning for about a week, anyone have the code for it, so I can do it manually?

    so all boxes have the black bars either side ...
    do you think it the future this could be sorted or is it the box full stop and no software could rectify this problem

    hi mrtfool
    thats a good buy from ebay

    1. Plug starview in at the mains;and put on stand by

    2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
    PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
    this on the starview you cant go wrong);

    3. Open up GTRom loader this will be the soft ware on the cd

    4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
    Auto update BIN File file that you have
    (which I assume you have downloaded from here).

    5. Now click download button and you sill se the
    file being downloaded.

    6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
    something like "download successful".(you must wait till youir pc says this it about 20 seconds atfer it says 100%))


    7, plug box in and press Menu on
    remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
    then move don to automatic scan and press ok.

    8. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.

    9. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.

    10 Now press the info button then the numbers 2 0 0 4. Move down to Key Emu and change option
    to on.
    Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.

    11. Go to scrambled channel and wait for it to unscramble the channels

    12 then watch tv.

    13. Details how to sort favourites etc is in the manual.
    Get a Bin c=image for your area though and this will
    save you a bit of work.

    Hi, I've had a Starview box for a while, lost all channels, then had the software updated by a "friend", but within days I have lost all the channels again. Is it possible to download the latest version of the software or can something be done with the box. Thanks
