    Hi,
    I have just ordered my new Starview "The Box".
    I have been using the older one and decided it was time for an upgrade.
    Will my new box be ready to use when it arrives or will I have to program/download the info?
    Will it auto-update when the codes are scrambled?
    Does the 7 day guide really work?
    I am living in Dublin.

    Cheers,
    Do you have a link for "firmware to version 4.50"?

    All you need can be found in Eamos FTA Library link at the end of my post. For the box you need Version 4.50 for Ireland , (Found in "The Box" Firmware folder). You also need the Gtromloader,(Found in Starview Software folder). You will find a full guide in the Starview Documentation folder called Starview Guide PDF. This will show you how to flash your box.

    You will also need a null modem cable similar to this:

    If you only have a laptop, more than likely it will not have a D9 serial port and you will also need a USB serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

    USB Adapter Cable http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=29968&DOY=17m6&tabs=n

    These are only for reference and can be purchased much cheaper on fleabay.
