starview no setanta sports 1 help please

hi recently bought a starview box got most channels except setanta 1, i live in glasgow if that helps ,i would also like to get channels in some sort of order if poss ,any help will be very much appreciated , cheers stephen

 

What provider are you on?

With regards to ordering channels to your liking. You can download the SVCE (Starview Channel Editor). You will find this in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos FTA Library. It is in the Starview Software Folder.

I have also uploaded an SVCE guide, you will find this in the Starview Documentation folder.

 

thanks for taking the time to reply , i am with ntl read 1 of your other replies and i found out that i have a cloned box 18 by 7

 

if u have a clone only put v257 fix onto it !
u need abin file to sort your channels out
but if u can spare 20 mins i suggest u do it manualy, less hassle.
try the freq at the starview link under my post for setan*a sports.
they may work , if they dont there may not be a way to get it !

 

thanks for taking time to reply , i feel like i`m back at school and that was 20 years ago.what is a v257 and what do i do with it , cheers stephen

 

Version 2.57eE fixed is the firmware that allows your Starview to automatically find the keys.

SETANTA 1 683.000 do a manual scan at this frequency.

 

where can i get 2.57eE fixed from , i`m sorry if i come across silly but i really need a step by step diddy proof , hold your hand type of annswer , i`m a celtic fan and like you reds we never walk alone

 

No problem. You can find it in the Starview Firmware folder in the link at the end of my post marked Eamo FTA Library.

You will also find a Starview PDF Guide in the Starview Documentation folder. This will show you a step by step guide for flashing your box.

You will also need a null modem cable similar to this:

This is for reference only as you can get them much cheaper on fleabay.

 

downloaded file but windows is asking what to open file with , still downloading svce file taking its time or what

 

You need the GTromloader to load the 2.57eE fixed file, you will find this in the Starview software folder of the Eko Link.

As said download the Starview PDF Guide, this will tell you exactly what you need and how to do it.

The SVCE should download OK, this is for oredering your channels to your liking. There is also an SVCE guide in the Starview Documentation folder.

 

1`ll give it a shot bit worried in case i gub the box so to speak ,if you know anyone in glasgow who would do this i wil gladly pay them as you are speaking to a guy who got lost with a tomtom in car.

 

LOL honestly just follow all my instructions and the Starview guide. If you have all the files and lead it will take you five minutes to flash the box. The SVCE is a bit longer dependent upon how you want your channels set up.

I am gone for the rest of the evening, but will be back tomorrow.
Just follow my instructions and you will not mess up your box, if you do we can have it back in no time.

So best of luck and it is easy, believe me

 

done what you said downloader 257 to box but still no setanta 1 but on the plus side the house didnt get set on fire , again thanks very much stephen

 

hi downloaded svce this morning just home and box has no pic just dotted lines going accross front of box ,any ideas

 

Sorry I am about to head off for the evening.

I know exactly what you done thats why I said download and read the SVCE guide first. The SVCE should not be downloaded to the Starview this is only to be used on your pc after you upload a channel list to it either from your Starview or if you download a channel bin file from here or elsewhere.

You now have four leds flashing across the front display like this ----. All is not lost as you will need to reflash the box. Please follow the instructions here for a bad flash http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/531363

As I said I will not be back until tomorrow but all the info is here in the link above. And as I say always follow the instructions, best of luck

 

thanks for that , enjoy your night out . ps what does tp mean, iwill make a donation to the forum what is the going rate as your help is first class

 

tp = transponder, if that is what you mean. Regards donations I am not sure of that but I am sure if you send a pm to ddp or creaky, (site moderators), they will point you in the right direction

My help is free, so thank you for the offer either way

Thats me so have a good evening.


I have found this from the owner of the site, drd, regarding donations:

Actually, as weird as it might sound, in Finland -- where AfterDawn Ltd is based -- it is illegal for individuals and companies to accept donations. Only organizations that have registered as non-profit are allowed to accept donations and as our website is owned by a for-profit company, donations are out of question.

Therefore, only and best way to help us out is to view pages with ads, buy stuff from companies who advertise on our site -- and of course, to promote our site to other people via word-of-mouth, via your personal homepage, via other discussion forums, etc.

 

Or you can donate to any charity of your choosing children's fund or something like that

 

got channells back and setanta , last problem i cant open the sv guide stephen

 

You need a pdf reader, you can get one here http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Click on reader to download, it is over 20Mbs so might take a while depending on your bandwidth. Unclick photoshop as you do not need this.

If you want a smaller reader this one will do the job http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
