Starview Expert-**no email posting or BANNED**

hey people newbie here. i have recently bought a starview box from ebay. still waitin on it. i recently phoned n*l to c about gettin connected but they say i cannot get it, but i live in a high flat and know people that have it in this building. also i work installing sky and have checked the signal on my meter and i am receiving a signal with most channels. so connectin my box should work. im not sure about n*l tho and would they know i was connected? any help is much appriciated.

 

Hi there i am new and no nothin about this, can anyone PLEASE explain to me How they got there Virgin Media and how to get a Star view box and how to install it cheers

 

hi all
can anybody tell me how to keep the picture in full screen instead of these anoying black bar either side of the tv , i have tryed changing the aspect ratio from 4.3 to 16.9 and vise versa but the black bars are still there , its the same on all three boxes i have . i am running software version 257 , i have a dbox2 and i get full screen on all the channels on that, am i set up wrong on the starviews
thanks

 

it,s unfortunate but it,s afault with the starview

 

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?

 

no its not a fault as all three boxes do it i just cant get full screen with any of them on any telly
is it the software 257e

 

it is a fault, it has always done this no matter wot software you use,i,v updated my box over the last 12 months,with the new updates,and the picture format has always been the same.

 

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 everyone im new to this site and to starview as just found out about the boxes could someone please help me to where is best place to buy one from? as found one on e bay for £74.99 comes with leads and a cd but dont have a clue what you do with it or how to do anything so any help would be GREAT.

 

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
