Hi Folks,

Does anyone know of a PCI card for the computer that performs the same functions as starview/eurovox etc....? I know I am digressing from thread but would help me and I am sure others.

Thanks

 

260 burns out the processer after a while cos the copy has a 65mhz pros and a genuine has a 85 proc and 260 runs faster than 65 thus burning it out after a few days

 

Tezzer: just had the tape measure out the box measures 10.5 inches long by 6 inches deep? Does that mean it is the smaller clone box? Its definitely not 7 inches deep.thank you for your help mate

 

hi TEZZER007, iv had my box 4 a while, actually since last august. lasted quite a while, flashed once or twice 2, what do u think? i got some boxes from satellite wizzard for friends, they r alot bigger but everything else seems fine. also cud u tell me if theres an alernative 2 starview. thanks

p.s do clones have problems with reception? sometimes i hav 2 giv da cable wire a gud turn 2 da left 2 get da picture from distorting

 

ppv went and it became on demand so when somebody pays to view a film on the on demand when you do a rescan it picks up what people hav ordered and you get it until it finishes then it says bad signal again

 

Hi everybody, I was having the same probs with star***w box but fixed with entering the keys manually. The only problem is that I purchased cables to download the bin files for updating. A double ended female rs232 serial lead and a usb converter lead but I keep getting error message 'can't open serial port' - am I using the correct leads?

 

i bought around 20 from satellite wizzard and all have been genuine
if they are the big boxes then your ok

theres loads of other boxes out there ,
i like the dbox2 but there around 5 year old now .,
mine has never ever gone down

 

you can get DVB-C cards just like you can get DVB-T (freeview) cards. Ive never had one but from what ive heard no one likes them.

 

hi smokedoak

its got to be the null modem serial cable and
i bet your useing a laptop to try to flash your box,,,
its a pain in the arse using a laptop and you will struggle because 9 times out of ten you also need a driver installed on your laptop as well

best with a desk top pc to be honest

 

i managed to get a laptop workin via usb2serial but it was really slow - takes over 15 mins to flash. on the usb adaptor's website theres updated drivers

 

TEZZER007 what r ur thoughts on starview box 2? is it beta in anyway 2 number 1? they r available 4 about 120 on satellite wizzard. thanks mate 4 all da help!!

 

Thanks for that TEZZER007, I am using desk top but I guess i'm using the wrong cable - just have to get a new one.

 

the reason the starveiw 2 was reliesed was to combat the cloned boxes as i have heard its the same as the starview with just a new front on it called "THE BOX"

 

Does anyone know how small the clone is dimension wise? I would say mine is pretty small at 10.5 by 6 inches i cant imagine a box even smaller than that?

 

YOUVE GOT A 1ST GEN STARVIEW OR A CLONE

 

thats the small box, the big box is about 5-6 inches deeper and the back is flipped. scarts on the left

 

Thanks guys i shall soon find out which it is! One last thing do i factory reset the box before i hook it up to the pc to flash with a different file or do i just flash the new file and it replaces whats currently on there? Thanks

 

JUST FLASH IT

YOU COULD SAVE YOUR CHANNEL LISTS FIRST TO SAVE ALL THAT SORTING LATER IF YOU WANT TO

 

hi suzie81


Hi

I got that starview box sorted out with chrous.


You need s/w ver 258
You need to go into installation
and do a manual scan

replace 6887(ntl network) and put in 6875(chrous network)

Then do a manual scan on the following frequencies
371000
395000
363000
307000
315000
323000
290000
299000
339500
379500
296000
291000
355500
387500
347500
410000
427000
291000

This takes about 15 mintues all together
and i got about 120 channels I am still missing
about 2 or 3 freguencies to bring me up to 143 channels which ntl has.

Dont forget to turn on the emu in the hidden menu.

Any more questions give us a mail .

Thanks

Stephen
