Starview Firmware

Ive got 2 boxes, 1 of which is a clone. Flashed em both with 300e last wed/thurs, and both have been working fine apart from the occasional freezing. Hopefully there will be a fix for the freezing issue..

 

Has anyone's box with 300 died yet?

 

I thought it was because no channels came up for a couple of minutes (saying bad channel or scrambled channel) but then it showed a progress bar and all the channels came back up.

 

i have soaid somewhere before on this site that i have some mates who installed the version 3.00 firmware on clone boxes and everything seemed to be ok for a while at lease it was about 6 days then the boxes died i do not know why sometimes it takes so long for them to die and why some die straight away there must be an error in the firmware script or a delay or something but im unsure what to do at all

 

what about first generation boxes ? is the 300 going to kill them tonight?

 

the first generation original boxes seem to be ok i am not commting myself to saying they will be ok but i have been told they should be ok as long as they are the original 1st gen boxes

 

hi im new to this game and i have a real box and was just wondering how i go about re-booting it i have my lead and have downloaded version 300 from the top of the page any help would be great

 

Your right. But won't someone make an updated firmwire which eventually remove all the bugs and problems in the previous firmwires?

 

Just follow the instructions and you can't go wrong;

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.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this thread is telling people to remove v300 and other threads are staying to stick with it?
I would also like to know where Marky got his info about the voltage problem as I can't find any other info on web.Thanks.

 

owners of clones are scared in case the 300 kills their box like 260 did. using it with a genine box is safe. using it on a clone isnt yet confirmed as safe, some clone owners have tried 300 and so far no-one has given any bad reports. i guess its up to the individual what to do

 

version 3 killed some peoples boxes that i know so it isnt a good idea to use it on clone boxes there have been warnings on some forums to take the version 3 off the clone boxes because nobody can actually say how long it will last before it kills the boxes so it is to be used at own risk personally i have seen what it can do and i wouldnt touch version 2.60 or version 3.00 clone safe or not with a barge pole as it will kill the clone boxes at some point in time

 

where have you heard this? theres been no reports on here!

 

I have a 1st gen box and loaded with version 3 and it worked ok except for the occasional frame freeze. However after all the threads on this site and others about boxes possibly being purged and killed off that has ver3 on them I resorted back to 2.57e and it is working and without freez frame problem.

 

flashed with version 300 did 3 boxes 24 hours 2 boxes not clones are ok but clone box fried tonight so 300 is frying clones

 

are there any lights on front? everyone i know whos flashed 300 on a clone flashed it over a week ago with no problems. what happened before the boxes stopped working

 

only the clone stopped it froze then everything went blank any idea wwhat to do

 

well it sounds to me like its died! looks like your the 1st victim.

I am a new member and am looking for some help regarding my starview box??
I have somehow managed to shut it down whilst trying to download a copy of an update to it.

during the download i had the download % on the screen / then as soon as it finished the box just shut down and now i have a green light running across the front of the box and i cannot turn it on??
no-one seems to know whats happened!!
if anyone could help me or pm me it would be greatly appreciated cheers

 

its just a bad flash, nothing to worry about, just try again but make sure you wait until a box saying download complete appears
