starview problem?

If you have a clone starview box with api 4.00 , you need to take it off immedially and put on the 2.57_FIXED for CLONES

 

Sorry Celtic but that STB model doesn't work!

 

hello all i have had a diagnosis from scouser (thanks) total pixelation of box and capacitors likely problem have looked at all capacitors as best as i can all look fine. So may i ask how do i know which to replace c11 c21 ? thanks

 

Have you turned on the SV and put it on STANDBY and have it connected to the PC with the NULL MODEM CABLE ?

hi. was wonderin if anyone could help me i got a starview box only a few days ago, as far as i know its not a clone, but when i turn it on it is just freezing on the startup screen that says "the box" has been working perfectly but now it only comes on sometimes and wen it does come on it freezes

 

Have you got a Starvi*w 1 or Starvi*w 2 (THE B0X) ?

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

 

i have starview 2 the box. it wont even let me go to the menu it will only turn on and then freezes at the the very start part when the words "the box" just come up in the middle of the screen

 

You might need to reflash it

You will need version 4.50 firmware for THE B0X IRELAND found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

You will need version 4.51 firmware for THE B0X UK found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

 

im in ireland. where do i get the firmware from?? thanks

 

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

 

pls can some 1 help me i have downloaded the chanles on my starview the box but when i hit menu 1570 nothing happens i can not turn on my emu settings can some 1 pls help thanx

 

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

Also

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

 

i downloaded the 4.50 file and downloaded it onto my box using the gtrom loader. but it didn't work i clicked to apply it was i suppose to boot it or anyting?

 

Had a power cut at ours to-day when power came back THE BOX is displaying 8888 Ive tried turning it off and on but no joy .There is no signal being recieved. Is it stuffed??

 

Check the C11 capacitor there are pictures here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/531363#3216144 as a guide.

 

I've done all that but still not working. Even bought the exact cable from Maplin. Am going to try it tomorrow on a PC. Can't understand why it's ot working!

 

Updating Firmware

Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY.
(The Starvi*w does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM)

Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT
that matches the one that is being used

Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.

Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase
then Download completed message on your PC.
Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before
removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starvi*w will then reboot

Disconnect from PC and connect back up to the TV

 

Celtic. I cannot get this to work at all. I've tried everything. Cable is correct, I've downloaded the GTROM loader, Box is on standby and i've tried inserting the STB model. I've also tried on both a laptop and a PC and it wtill won't work. I'm convinced now there's something wrong with the Box!
