    Im not sure of the freq for Tipp

    Try do a manual scan on 298.000 and 444.000 and see you get any channels

    Symbol Rate 6.875

    Celtic, I'm trying to update the Firmware at the moment. But when I go to download it, I'm told "Error: Model name is empty". I think it has to do with the STB Model box. Any ideas??

    Press Menu then 1570, go down to "Set Default Key" , tune into S*Y Sports and it will update for you , if not , go back in and manually enter the codes again

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

    Count the vents on top

    18x7 = Clone
    25x7 = Genuine
    13x7 = 1st Generation

    Also looking from the front
    Scart to the left = Clone
    Scart to the right = Genuine

    Also you can go here to see some pics
    http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oon


    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null Modem Cable

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6

    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

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor

    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, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link.

    You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.
    You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

    have a clone starview box with api 4.00

    worked perfectly for approx 4 weeks with N*L in ireland, then without changing any settings all the channels become distorted after watching them for approx 10 min and the sound goes and "bad or scrambled channel" is displayed... this tends to get worse the longer you try and watch it.

    I have checked through the thread and cannot find a solution to my problem.

    I have checked to make sure the code is up to date. And have done a full factory reset but this has not helped.

    The only thing that has some minimal benefit is when I completely power the unit down for over an hour, but then the problems return after watching for approx 10 min.

    It was the best thing ever, now its bugging me.

    Can anyone suggest what I should do?
