    i was also wondering if you can buy some kind of eye like the sky eye where you can change channels upstairs (i have run the box from downstairs to my bedroom but i gotta run downstairs to change channel.

    thanks

    I contacted my seller about the update and he emailed me it with instructions on how to update the box. Your seller should have also given you the required update cable when you bought the box.

    They are supposed to autoroll the keys to avoid re-flashing, but were caught out by the CC's doing some crafty fiddling. How often you need to update it? The only person that can answer that is the person at the CC who takes the decision to knock out Starview boxes, and I dn't think they would make that public.

    The software link is in the STARVIEW FILES thread.
