starview seems to have died ??

As far as i know i have a first generation box
System Info: API VER:257e_F_
Boot ver:7.0
16 August 2006
that was the one Fergus advised me to Flash it with!!!

 

If you are sure it is a first gen box then v4.00 will work for you.

 

You reckon it will sort the problem? even though the rest of the boxes are still working away,I am just afraid it might Fry the box,

 

hi,im thinking of buying a new box as i fried my sv1 box 2wks ago,as im useless at flashing the firmware,could someone tell me the best box to invest in and wont need flashed many times? and also will the new boxes auto roll automatically? thanks

 

Sorting the problem is a matter of elimination unless it's a known fault. The obvious place to start is with the firmware, see if that does it and move on to something else if it doesn't.

Please note you MUST be sure that you have a genuine box as opposed to a clone!

If you are unsure and want to try something else first,try a factory re-set and re-scan or re-flash with the firmware you have as 257 fixed works on both clone and genuine boxes.

 

right so, i will try again with the 257 as i know that worked previously, i am not doubting you but i dont really want to Fry this one, thanks so far for the help by the way!!!

 

You are doing the right thing - proceeding with caution. No-one can disagree with that. come back if you still have problems. Someone will be here to help you.

 

It does not matter if you put V2.57e_E Fixed on a genuine box or a clone box it does the same thing roll the codes that is all it is meant for

But you cannot put V4.00 on a clone box as this will kill the clone just remember that

 

You learn somethin new everyday Ferg didn't know you could put the fixed on a genuine box,thanks for that

 

No doubt you will correct me if I a wrong here Fergus but if v2.57 is used on a gen box it will auto-roll but it is slower than v4.00.

 

possible so but what i am saying it will not kill the box it will if the put V4.00 on clone that is all and to tell you the truth the only difference that i know about is the V2.57 was made from the V4.00 and the clone killing code was taken out that is all so it is safe to use V2.57 on both genuine and clone safely

Just not the other way around

 

You mean v2.57 FIXED

 

yep 100% safe on both genuine starview and clone starview V2.57e_E_FIXED


As i said you just cannot use it the other way around like putting V4.00 on clone it will die

 

How ya fergus,Hope you enjoyed the Parade!

what do you think about the above, any suggestions??

 

hey ppl
one of you couldn't tell me the frequency for the these channels, i want to manually scan them into my box instead of doing a factory re-set?
sertana 1, discovery 1, bravo 1

 

Your box is on the way out i would say it sounds like a power problem have you tried to do a factory reset and see what happens

 

Go onto manual scan but before you do it enable network scan.

 

ferg -was that a response to my question?

 

Depends on your cable provider and area your in for the freg

 

Thanks for that Fergus, I will try that later as the missus is bringing me out for a jar, for the night thats in it! I will let you know how i get on, if you think of anything else give me a shout,cheers
