    Hi noely, did a manual on 291.00, already had all those channels.

    When i did the scan on 394.5 it couldn't find any channels, but i don't have discovery +1 on my n*l box at the moment either, so must still be a problem with them.

    Thanks anyway. :)

    I did a scan from 291 to 402 & got all channels Eva.
    Could be a problem in the area :(

    They were working around here the other day, changing old cable for new ones, so i did a scan just to be sure & all channels are there.
    What else are you missing Eva besides Disc + 1 ?

    Not sure, the kids will tell me later, a few other discovery channels i think, discovery science definitely.

    I'll check later, have to run now! :)

    STB Model - GCR 3510
    Click on bin file & make sure FILE TYPE is App File Only
    Have you downloaded winrar to extract the files from the folder?
    If not, you`ll need to do this.

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone can help. I am trying to re-flash a stairview. As far as I can remember it is "the box" version but is there any way to confirm this ? It is a genuine it has 25 x 7 vents.
    I downloaded the following files:
    v4.03_051005.exe 15/11/2007
    thebox_h20081222_457eE_api.bin 23/12/2008
    and reflashed the box. I got the progress on the LCD on the box and after 100 I got the download sucessfull message.
    When I now plug the box into the tv I get a screen saying "The Box", I can't access the menu and there is one dot green LCD light on the display....
    isthe box knackered ? Any ideas ?
    Thanks!

    Just a quick one, when you say as far as you know it is The Box version, what does it say at the top left hand side of the box, if it says Starview then it is Starview 1, if it says The Box, then it is Starview 2 The box, that is how you can confirm it, but I suspect that you may have flashed a Starview 1 with the incorrect Firmware, (Hope I am Wrong).

    Just want to make sure I don't mess it up further. From what I can read and understand from this thread I have updated the box software on to a stairview 1 (as it says stairview on the front not the box), so am I correct in saying i have to re-flash with the stairview 1 file and leave the unit powered off until the last min ? Help is appricieated.

    Thought so, the best thing to do is to try and reflash back to the original Firmware then flash on the update if successful okay, do it now.
