starview the box stuck

maybe that frequency has had a breakdown maybe give it a day or two and manual scan on that frequency.

 

I had a lot of problems.
Solution: Flash with latest firmware: 8.04
Try searching under 'CHORUS' if NTL not working.
Then usual: Auto scan, EMU on etc ...
Let us know.

Hi there,

Sorry about this, everytime i feel like i understand it, it goes.

Last night my Starview 2 box went. No channels, and when i went to s*y of S*y Sports 2 to allow it to update, it would run up past 100%, then 110% and so on. No channels.

I did a factory reset but no good. Now it just says scrambled or bad channels.

Worse again, it now says

Ver 4.54_E
Boot Ver 7.0
15th Oct 2007

I had it flashed by a friend after christmas to get it going again after it did the same thing (i think everyone got cut off before christmas).

Couple of things;

Do i need to get that flash done again ? (Does a factory reset delete the flashed information).

Can it be done without a cable, as my computer won't recognise my box when i connect it?

Help!

 

Factory reset does not delete the Firmware, and yes you need a NULL MODEM lead to flash the box, and the version of Firmware that your Friend put on was not the updated version, it is 4.57 you want on The Box, and you will find it in Eamo's FTA Library.

 

Thanks mate,

I bought a cable which i believe is a null modem cable....it fits the back of the box and also the side of my laptop.

However, the computer doesn't seem to recognise the box and i can't get it to.

Any thoughts on that....if i could get it to "see" the ox, i could do the rest

Thanks again...

 

Flipper, I had the same problem at first. You need to allocate a serial port, usually COM 1. You can find out how to do it here on Celtics third post.

Thanks for that,

I've connected my box to the computer by the null modem cable, but an icon for the box dosen't appear anywhere on the screen. I'll assume thats normal.

I set the "communications port" to Com 1. downloaded the firmware for my box (The Box 2) and extracted the BIN file to the desktop.

I then opened the loader that came with firmware i downloaded, set the serial port to Com 1 and tried to download the Bin File from the desktop.

Nothing happens and then it says "Flash update fail"

Help anyone?

Thanks

 

looks like a bad flash, look in the bad flash thread you should get sorted there

 

you will have to get a nul modem to usb converter for it to work on a laptop, and change the port to port one.however it will work on a pc tower no problem.

 

hi,
my mate has asked me to flash his box for him,it's called the box.
ive think i've got the right firmware(4 57)
I keep on getting error.model name does not correct.
could you put me in the right direction please

 

Hi all,

I have a universal remote control (from Lidl) and cannot get it working on The Box Super. It is possible at all ? Has anyone had similar experience?

Also wondering how I might record programmes from The Box on my VCR ?
Its currently connected directly into TV using ariel and scart leads.
All tips welcome.

Hi guys, sorry if there is a thread started about this already.. But is anyone missing there racing uk channel.. just telling me scrambled or bad channel.. i have tried 402 freq.. but nothing..anyone got any ideas how to solve my prob?? I have factory reset my box n have all other channels back perfect just that 1..

 

if your in Ireland you won't get it back as a lot of channels have disappeared due to nagra 3,expect all the channels to follow suit very shortly.

 

Is there yet a box that can decode nagra 3.

Thanks

The box wont have the software loaded, you will have to flash it before it can work, before the purchased it would have said, or sup pied the lead and CD.
