    Make sure you are inputting them correctly as sometimes a zero may look like an "O". Press the default key, input them again and make sure your key emu is on.

    We do always advise members to update their firmware to auto update the codes.

    If it says no signal there is a problem in your area or your coax is unplugged.

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

    Please click the SV EV Info link at the end of my post to compare clone V genuine boxes.

    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info

    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?Modu...dapter&doy=29m1

    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 FTA Library.

    You will need the GTromloader V4, (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.


    Updating Firmware

    Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY.
    (The Starview 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

    Press Menu then 1570 and press the "Set Default Key" , press OK , go back into Nagravision and input the codes again and tune into S*Y Sports and it should update for you

    hi, it's me again. after being switched off overnight, box showed'no signal' again this morning & had changed to another provider. have done 3 scans and can only find 64 channels but still showing as 'bad'. have now done as celtic 71 suggests & have got s*y channels but not 'aunty' etc. until i can get a null cable is there anything else i can do ? also, why does the amount of channels available vary so much when doing scans.
