    First, check to see if you have an original Starview or a clone.

    Counts the vents on top:

    First Generation = 13 x 7 vents
    Genuine = 25 x 7 vents
    Clone = 18 x 7 vents

    If you have a clone box, DO NOT attempt the following:-

    Go buy yourself a NULL modem cable from your local Maplins.

    You require the following files from http://eko.4shared.com ...

    CryptStar-v14-GenuineOnly.zip (in the starview/firmware folder)
    GTRom_v400.rar (in the starview/software folder)

    Extract the above files and continue below ...

    UPLOADING SOFTWARE TUTORIAL

    1. Plug Starview in at the mains;
    2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for this on the Starview you cant go wrong);
    3. Open up GTRom loader.
    4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the Auto update BIN File file that you have downloaded
    5. Now click download button and you will see the file being downloaded.
    6. Once complete a message will appear saying something like "download successful".
    7. Plug box in and press Menu on remote, select Installation, choose your cable provider, then move down to automatic scan and press OK.
    8. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.
    9. Now press menu. Press INFO then type in the number 1570. A new menu will appear. Move down to Key Emu and change option to ON. Press OK, then exit back to TV Screen.
    10. Go to scrambled channel (Sky Sports is recmmended) and wait on keys updating.

    You will need a copy of WinRAR either from where you got your sv files or from www.rarlabs.com
