Starview Firmware

Sorry scouser, I'll have to type faster

 

Sorry eamo but I gave credit where it was due saved your fingers lol.

Should off mentioned the Bish as well as he wrote it.

 

Too true, credit to the people who are writing all this software.

 

is there ay other cable that you can get to connect a laptop to a starview box. my laptop dosen't have a com port that i can connect to.

 

YES YOU NEED A USB TO RS-232 LEAD, THIS WILL SORT IT

 

You can get one from Maplin, Product Code: ZP43W

I'm sure there on eBay too..

 

Your best bet is to go on google and type in USB to Serial adaptor. This will then translate your USB port into a serial COMMs port.

Great Work Eamo !

 

Correct I didn't realise I'd got it wrong. I also agree great work by Eamo!

 

i read that but it didn work. what is the boot file 4 ???

 

download gtrom loader and v4 both available at the bottom of my post.
now you don't open v4 you leave it the way it is its a .bin so you don't open it.
you need gtrom loader to load it to your box.
click on gtrom loader,click on bin file pick v4,press download,it will get to 100% and stay on that for 30-40 sec just wait,it will say download complete on computer screen and your box will go off and turn back on.

 

i have the GTROm loader and v4 when i loaded that onto it it wont work now a line keeps flashing across the screen of the box and when i try to download stuff into it no numbers. can you help because its not even my box..thanks

 

yeah that means its a bad flash.
get the v4 from the bottom post because the v4 your using is corrupt thats why the lights are flashing.
do it again with my v4.it should work.and don't worry about it its just a bad flash.

 

ok thanks so much! i would be lost without this site..

 

it might not take the flash the first time.if it doesn't just do it again.but it will work because i had the same prob yesterday and i got it working.

also when you get a bad flash it deletes all the channels so you will have to scan the channels again.

 

hi, we had same problem with v4.0 oly got nigh rider light flashing.
so i downloaded v300 and it works fine.

 

yeah its just bad flash.usually caused by a corrupt firmware.its noting to worry about

 

does anyone have the same problem with the tv guide where it doesnt show any programs? Also is there a way to get sky sports news and sky one back as i am on telewest.
