starview the box stuck

Have you installed Winrar, if not then do so, when that is done. You can then double click on "the Book icon" the .rar file and when it opens, you only need to highlight what you want in there and drag it out to your desktop, and it is unzipped, there is other options, but that is the easiest for you. I hope that is a little clearer for you.

 

This is the same as mine, i have managed to get the free to air channels working ( they were not previously )

I'm totally computer illiterate , logging on here is my limit well almost. Any help would be great

 

Hey, I have the box pvr. I flash updated it yesterday with new firmware and it was working fine. This morning most of the channels were missing again, not necessarily all the channels that are not on my basic package with n*l.

I have tried leaving it on movie channels/ sky 2/ disney but I have not even seen a progress bar come up with 1%, etc.

Anyone have any ideas? I plug it out at the mains every night. ight this affect it? Will I have to flash again??

Whats the advice from the master mcfc999 and desperate for footie tomorrow

 

Use the uk fix from eamo's library, downloader v 4.03 and new firmware 4.55

Can take a while for it to boot in, i did a few yesterday and they took ages to unscramble.

 

Do as you have been advised under your post, also if you go to here then you will have a good tutoriol >>>>>>>>>

Version 4.03 of the downloader and the uk fix version 4.55.

After you downoad the 4.55 you have to unzip it with win rar as it is a bin file.

 

yes from there. they just wont even open at all. i have fixed many boxes before and the files have always opened with ease these are proving very difficult at the minute. could you explain how i am doing it wrong?

 

evastar, went onto new link downloaded opened gtrom loader 4.00.. picked my file cryptstar v1.5 --core400 bin..clicked download but still at o% half hour l8r.. any ideas seriously goin to throw it through the window!!!

 

Have you ever flashed a box before are you sure its a null modem rs232 cable and not just an rs232,

 

yeah done it about eight months ago bit rusty!! had no probs the last time i done it..

 

I had one like this yesterday and it would'nt start so what i did was i switched box of with button at back and then hit download and then flicked the switch back on and it started to down load, try it might take a few turns,

 

hey guys i tried to load new firmware for stv 1 but the percentage does not go up when i click on download, after a while it says failed. so what can i do is it something to do with the com port settings im sure everything else i am doing is right, please could someone let me know.

 

Thanks Malci your a genius

lads
At wits end here. Re-flashed starview 1 and the box successfully but still cannot get any channels. Updating data comes up on screen but dont change off 0%. Any ideas......................

 

Folks,

I downloaded the file "thebox_h20081204_455eE_api.bin" onto my starview (model: thebox)

I then powered the box up and down again having removed the NULL cable from the back.

I then went into the installation menu, select "NTL" as the provider and then selected automatic scan.

it indicated that if found 37 channels.

I hit exit 3 times until the normal screen came up.

I then pressed the menu button and then digits 1570.

I wet to the nagravison line and hit the right arrow. nothing happened.

I went down to the Key EMU line and it already said ON so i left it

i pressed exit.

i can only find RTE1 all others are not there yet. I went to Sky Sports 1 which is meant to be one of the first to come back.

Can someone confirm that it doesnt just come back automatically and that it takes some time. I am getting the dialogue box saying Data is being updated.

I have confirmed that the 455 firmware is installed on the box.

Any clarity on what is a reasonable time to wait would be much appreciated.
