Can anyone tell me if version 3.00 of the firmware auto-updates the codes? I had a problem upgrading to version 4.00 (the screen aspect ratio would stay at 4:3 and I couldn't change it to 16:9) so would like to try version 3.00
Seen your earlier post version 3.00 will cause it to frezze in most cases if you want to go back to an earlier version with AU capabilities just use the 2.57eE fixed firmware as it is safe for both clone and genuine boxes. Regards true widescreen this is not attainable with a Starview, what you are talking about is anamorphic compression.In order to test your widescreen tv on 16:9 is to set the SV on fullscreen put it on bbc news24 which is correctly broadcast in 16:9 and this particular channel transmits the correct pids picked up by the box and sent to the tv which displays the full widescreen image. Many programs on cable are still transmitted as 4:3 or 14:9 not 16:9 and so if you are using a widescreen tv that is set for 16:9 the picture will not fill the screen. If you switch the SV to fullscreen the picture will then fill the widescreen tv but the image is sampled to fill the screen but is compressed and flattened. This is an incorrect setting and there wont be a fix for that apart from understanding that it is not meant to fill the screen unless the program is broadcast in 16:9.
can you recommend a firmwiare version that auto updates and is stable that is NOT v5.7e fixed or v4.00?
