starview seems to have died ??

hi all not sure if this problem has been covered here ...but i have searched the forum for answers and not found any ?..... i have had a starview box for a year now with no real problems ....but i got up this morning and is just saying no signal on every channel .....the wierd thing is that the box is on a split feed with my normal cable tv and that is fine ?? i tried to rescan the channels but it found zero ?? i have reflashed it ...i have tried a direct cable feed into the box.. i have done emu check and default check but all i have now is the language menu when first switched on and main menu but no channels whatsoever anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong ....i have tried switching on and off and all the cable connections ? thanks

 

Hi petepogo.

Are you by any chance in the Dublin area ? I have a Eurovox and exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday afternoon.tried doing all the same things you've done but so far no joy.I'm waiting for the good folks on this forum to come up with a solution or at least a reason for me .

 

hi ..... no i am in the west midlands near wolverhampton ?? i cannot work out why it has just stopped with no warning ?

 

Have you opened it up and checked that all ribbon cables are pushed into their IDE slots as a loose connection may cause this. One thing on the front display what does it say when you power it up?

 

Not any problems I know of in the Dublin area. Before you done a powerscan did you clear all your current channels first?

 

when powered up it has "on" displayed.......... have looked inside and everything seems fine ??

 

When you turn it on does the language menu come up immediately?

 

yes the language menu comes up straight away mate

 

Have you tried this when the language page comes up.

Press ok to select English
Press OK again to select Installation
Choose Provider etc
Automatic Scan
Press OK
Channels found
Exit

Press Menu then 1570
Turn EMU key ON

Exit , exit , exit

I know you probably have.

 

yes i have done that it goes through all the search but fails on every block ??

 

Let the Auto Scan run thought till the end , Try the other providers also , N*L , TW ex C&W

 

tried it .......still nothing ? this is so frustrating

 

Make sure you have your cable in the "Cable Input" socket and do it from the main feed with no splitters

Have you tried putting the cable in to the TV to see if you have a signal ?

 

yes i have done all of the above ....i am beginning to think the boxes tuner has died a death ??
