Starview - Help Please

Tried them both and it keeps saying flash failed so dont have a clue where im going wrong with this. Followed all the instructions provided but nothing seems to work

 

Are you using Vista or XP and also is it a RS232 or Null Modem cable?

 

XP and using the rs232 cable with usb connection

 

well your obviously doing something not quite right...
read this again, its a step by step way of flashing the box:

and see how you get on!!

any problems come back!!

 

Followed those instructions step by step and for some reason its just not flashing think these will be getting sent back lol

 

just spotted that you said RS232 and usb its NULL MODEM with a USB if neccesary, the RS232 will not work!!

 

i've got the usb to 232 will this work with the null modem cable? it looks just like a 9 pin male connector

 

A lot of box suppliers include an rs232 cable, which will not work. The 2 cables look the same, have the same 9-pin ends on them, but they are wired differently internally. This confusion over rs232 & null modem has been going on for a long time.

 

i've just read up on those 2 cables and the wires on the null cable are reversed.

 

Eh! thats what we have been trying to tell you!!!
you can get one in Maplins or flea bay!!

 

hey guys

what should the modulator on the starview box be set to in user set up in the telepest area?

 

Just set on PAL-1 that will do - it is the UK output setting.

 

does it matter what the channel setting is? under the pal 1 setting? something like rt channel i think?

 

No not really, and it should be saying RF Channel 38 just leave it at that.

 

hi i have a starview clone which has served me well up to now , it freezes a lot and i have reflashed a couple of times with no positive results,can anyone help me with my prob,thank you

 

Hi i also have starview (genuine) with a similar problem. It started freezing every so often and now it cuts out on startup. Or within a few seconds of the channel coming on. I've never updated the software or firmware and was wondering if anyone could help. Could this be a software problem or is it faulty hardware?

Thanks.

 

If its a starview 1,

Flash it with the crypstar V1.4- Core 2.57 bin & see if that helps.

You`ll find it in the starview folder in eamo`s library under my sig.
All updating info, cables etc are in the second link under my sig.

 

@noelyf or anyone else that may know the answer..is the starview box(w/usb) or eurovox(i know it says euro in the title) just for ireland and the uk? or can it be used in the US?..if it can be used in the US, does anyone know a link to the US firmware? thinking about getting one, just not sure if it will work or not..googled but haven't really come up with any answers..if anyone knows of a box that will work in the same fashion, would like to know which one would work..also i have cable with the factory stb(which sucks..haha), but not satellite..thanks in advance

 

Hi... I have a SV Clone and have same problem. Can someone help please? I updated the box with Cryptstar 257 few months back.

 

i have finally found how to fix my starview box and am pleased to say is working 100%, im happy to share this info with you, send me a private message (click the link at the top of this page saying send private message and type my username into the box) - otherwise have a look at my profile page..........
