starview the box stuck

Now come on HiTeck nowadays PC's and Laptops don't have serial connectors hence the need for USB adaptors. Port config is easy!!

 

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the info

I did say,

OTHERWISE if the configuration of ports don't go to plan try,



OR,

If your really stuck,



I hope the configuration of the ports work as mine works fine BUT Sometimes you wont get anywhere with it as already explained.

 

That's brought the total to 3 now, 2 seniors and one addict.

Matty DOESN'T HAVE a serial port so he HAS to use a USB adapter. As I said in the beginning it's a PC problem not a box one. I did a tutorial about 2 years ago for this fergusb added it to his tuts

 

I give in, it's all yours best of luck.

 

Not a problem HiTeck once he gets back I'll guide him step by step. It is definately a port config problem though

 

Please don't get me wrong, I know the problem I just cant be arsed trying to explain it anymore but as said best of luck.

 

As above post I don't take offence and value advice from others more knowledgeable than me. As I said I'll be watching over the next couple of days to see where matty has got to.

Its going to be interesting to see where malci and DesB send him!

 

Hi m8 long time no see. been here longer than last April!

 

' Just checked I've been here since Feb 2005! didn't think it was that long.

Binkie point taken

 

PIP.... IF you read the posts properly YOU might see that he mentioned THREE different boxes:

And this is what I was trying to establish, so please tell me were I didnt read the post correctly!!!

I must be going daft in my old age I can still only see one box mentioned in this post. I can see two wrong firmware bins but still only one box. I'm willing to be corrected here's how I read it.

matty has a starview 1 box which has been flashed with the firmware for either a starview2 the box or 3 the box super. I have replicated the problem with a starview1 that I have and I have successfully re-flashed it back to the correct firmware and it is back up and running.

Yes the simple get out is go to a mates PC who has a serial port and do it from there. What happens when no mates have a PC with a serial port? Floppy disc drives went the same way so I was trying to get him to configure his port settings correctly then he could use his USB-Serial converter.

I in no way intended to cause a rift between any of us who try to help others.

 

folks have a weird one which I hope you can help with. Have a SV Super which works fine fore a mate. He has bought a new super duper TV and got it wall mounted but did not use the scart to connect the Sv, He has used a normal coax cable I think!he managed to tune in the SV on an analogue setting and the picture is perfect but no sound?I tried another box and exactly the same picture no sound/TV settings?any ideas many thanks

 

Connect the scart lead to the TV & b0x.

 

I think it is safe to say Mattys little problem has caused more aggravation than my sons first wife.Happy new year everyone

 

hear hear harry,beginning to realise why i can't be a.sed anymore.
