starview the box stuck

hi guys, can anyone help me, starview stuck on language - english, after giong into factory settings, won't go back to main menu

 

Then acceot the language then Installation and do a fresh one, that should sort it.

 

hi malci, i'm new to all this, it won't exit out of language - english, it will let you go forward as far as scanning, which fails, then when you go to exit you're back stuck on language. thanks for the reply.

 

It's only because it has not installed correctly, are you sure that you are choosing your correct provider and have the cable in the cable input socket, if you are doing that and still getting back at the same place. Then turn it off remove and do another relash.

 

You need to do a factory reset before you auto scan, then turn emu back on and update on s*y2. should only take a few minutes after you have finished the auto scan.

 

Hi Malci

Like Dwyer, I too am stuck. My problem is that I have done a factory reset on my genuine starview box and since then have not been able to get ANY channel found - I have done obvious things - Slected NTHell in installation,checked my signal, tried resetting again, manual scan, messed around with some of the user setup settings - nothing. I even flashed the latest software today - no joy, I am still stuck in the main menu !
Assuming it is a setting, suspicious of modulator setting - PAL-I Channel38 - not sure if this is right for Dublin - but this may have nothing to do with problem. Appreciate any help ye can give me .......

 

have the starview flashed with latest firmware tried everything comes up data is being updated usually goes past 200 the just goes back to zero and same thing happens over and over

Thanks

 

nothing to do with them settings there ok,try a factory reset and then an auto installation,what firmware have you flashed your box with?

 

sounds like you didnt use the right firmware,which firmware have you flashed your box with?

 

hi guys, afterdawn addict, malci, ssnrc, this problem occured after nthell knocked them off, all cables,settings, switches were installed correctly, then some guy along a thread, suggested ''doing a factory reset''. nevertheless is it possible to get back to ''main menu'' or have they succeeded in knocking off completly

 

What box have you and what firmware did you use? Use the uk fixes that are available here. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/722659

After doing factory reset you need to autoscan, then switch emu back on.

 

OK PEEPS WHEN THE BOXES ARE BEING UPDATED TO 4.55 FOR TO WORK WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS RESCAN THE BOX ONLY A CHANNEL DUMP WILL NOT WORK WITH THAT FIRMWARE AS IT IS DIFFERENT AND YOU WILL HAVE PROB

DO A FULL FACTORY RESET TURN THE BOX OFF AT THE BACK THEN BACK ON THEN RESCAN THE CHANNELS WITH NO SPLITTERS ON THE CABLE IN AFTER THIS TURN ON YOUR EMU

NOW THIS IS THE EASY PART LET THE BOX UP DATE IT WILL GO UP AND UP MAYBE TO 250% IF SO LEAVE IT DO NOT CHANNEL HOP IT WILL THEN GET A BLANK SCREEN AND THEN IT WILL START UPDATING AGAIN LEAVE IT LET IT UPDATE AGAIN IT WILL KICK THE BOX IN BUT BE WARNED IF YOU CHANNEL HOP IT WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN SO JUST BE PATIENT AND LEAVE IT

 

Hi guys, new guy here hoping to find an electronics wizard.
My StarviewPVR (twin tuner) has stopped working properly and just shows "On" but the remote won't make it do anything. Another thread somewhere else pointed to component failure with some Caps in the PSU, well Maplin supplied replacements but no change. Next it was suggested that the regulator on the main board had gone, and it turned out that it had, changed it, and it promptly blew again. So have changed it for a higher spec regulator but it just gets very hot so I switch off. I know this will mean that there is another component or 2 or more gone on the main board but with SMD components it is impossible for me to identify which ones.
It is definitely the main board because if I disconnect it, then the hard drive spins up which it doesn't do otherwise.
Does anyone know of any "expertise" on this subject in the Liverpool area I can call upon to assist ?

Cheers and Happy Crimbo

(Incidentally, all this went on before any code changes so it isn't down to that aspect of working.

 

put 455 on mates the box in dublin and autscan will not work no matter how many times i do it tried turning it of for a while and autoscan i had to do sw transfer from box with channel data got all in but only half work the rest say no signal tried manual scan the lost channels but nothing

 

my box in dublin lost all the channels the other day from nt* i was about to update the firmware but then was given some codes and is back working perfectly. are the new codes only a temporary fix for me?? or is my box working perfectly again??

 

Codes are a temporary fix, you need to update your firmware. You will find what you need here, use the uk fixes: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/722659

 

alright will do this. thanks for answering my question. brilliant site,great help. wish i knew anything about technology so i could help others out, hav an input bak into the site for the help they give me

 

Solution:

I recently flashedd new firmware on my box pvr. I scanned in all of the channels but could only get 1 or 2 of them. The rest remained blank. They would not even start loading or show a progress bar. The reason was that the new firmware came with new settings. When I went into menu - system setup - under menu key there was a new feature- keycode. If you turn this on the channels update immediately. Hopefully this helps someone...

Problem:

My box pvr keeps on turning off and rebooting. I thought it might be an overheating problem but even if it is plugged out all night it still does it! It switches off for a few seconds and then comes on again! This has been happening for a while so it is not the new software but it is happening all the time now and I am considering buying a new one. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?? If not is the box pvr ok or does anyone recommend a different one??

 

Hi,

I seem to be having the same problems as everyone else here.
My System info is

The Box

API Ver 450e_E
Boot Ver 7.0
5 july 2007

Ive been through all the threads and hopefully im posting on the right thread! My channels are all blank with the update screen stuck at 0%. I presume I have to flash/upgrade the firmware. I have never flashed the box before and I'm willing to give it a go and follw the instructions on the other thread.. I'm just not sure which software. Am I right in thinking I need The Box 4.55.rar?

I'm heading home for xmas and the girlfrien staying in Dublin. I'm dead meat if I don't sort it out before I go home!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Any help

 

correct 4.55 for the box is right flash with the 4.03 loader and do a new channel scan that's is files as always in the eko site on some members signature just have a look
