Starview Freezing

I have seen a few threads on here regarding the Starview box freezing for about 30 seconds and then channel coming back on again.
As mentioned in these threads this is N*L problem.
Just wondered if there is anything I can do to stop this as its been going on for a good month now.

Any help would be great

 

You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine

Count the vents on top

18x7 = Clone
25x7 = Genuine

Also you can go here to see some pics

Press Menu > System Information and tell us what the API is

 

API is 2.59e & yes its a cloned box

 

I think this is the proper firmware for your box http://eko.4shared.com/account/file...816_257eE_api_FIXED.html?sId=NntBL4pVTCmqeGtK

 

Yes , you will need to update the firmware on your b0x as Karl has indicated

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

Null modem info

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

USB Adapter info

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

You will need the GTromloader, (Starview Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

And please download the Starview PDF guide,(similar instructions, this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starview Documentation folder in the link.

 

Thanks Guys

Going to a friends house tonight to try this.

Will let you know the outcome

 

Hope it works for you , let us know

 

Not Happy

Done every thing as you said put new software on as advised.

All channels are there but stutter and go a finny green colour and very pixalated.

Please help!!

 

I have now tried a few tips on this site and eventually got it back up and running after 4 flashes!

But!!! The picture is now & again going slightly pixalated and stuttering slightly can this be fixed its as if there is a bad signal

I am now on version 2.57 fixed on a cloned box if this helps

 

That is the right firmware for a clone b0x , try turning the power off at the back for a min then turn back on , If that fails then maybe you need to try a factory setting to clear it

Menu > Factory Setting
PIN 0000
OK to delete

Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

English > Installation
Choose Provider etc
Automatic Scan
Press OK
Channels found
Exit

Menu 1570
Turn EMU key ON

Exit , exit , exit

 

done all of the above but still get stuttery picture.

Its watchable but annoying

 

Check your cable connections and splitter if you use one, if you have a weak sinal try a booster, if your signal is too strong try an attenuator.

 

Hi Guys.
My Starview box is an original.
Api Ver:3.00 e_E
Boot ver: 7.0

What do I need to do to not get the freezing chanels?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

 

robertgb update to vers.4.00 starview original not clone.
vers 3.00 always had bad or scrambled message every 20 secs

 

Thanks for that.

How do I know if my signal is to strong/weak.

Before I did the flash I never had a signal problem

 

Thanks a mil cactikid.
