    SOFTWARE UPDATE

    NEW Update for the Starview Box

    Follow the Below instructions.

    Cryptstar V4.00 for the genuine box V2.57 for the clone box

    Instructions

    1) Plug in the RS232 cable into the serial port on the pc and the other end into the back of the box.

    2) Open the software "GT Rom" and click "BIN FILE", select the new file

    3) Switch on the box and put in standby.

    4) Once you see "12:00" on the box, press Download on the program…this will load the image on to the box and will take approximately 2mins.
    Once this is compete it will show you on the PC screen.



    Wait till the box has rebooted and you get "ON" on the box, and that means you can switch off and unplug.

    That's it your done.

    Run the scan as normal,

    Follow instructions for scanning if you are unsure.

    Press 1570 on remote and turn the EMU back on

    This time in the EMU screen choose SET DEFAULT KEY...then turn EMU on and EXIT.
    return to main tv screen and wait for the code to update this could go as high as 250% just be patient and do not change the channel
    until it has finished otherwise you will have to start all over again

    this is for flashing the starview 1 and 2 TheBox

    Its simple enough when you say you have the files etc what one are you using as it depends were you are Eire/ UK.do you have the Null Modem Cable? if so do the following:

    UPLOADING SOFTWARE TUTORIAL
    1. Plug your box 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 or whatever software you have
    for loading image on the box.
    4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
    Auto update BIN File file that you have

    5. Now click download button and you will see the
    file being downloaded.
    6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
    something like "download successful".
    7.Ideally you should try and get a bin file channel
    list for your area and load this as well it will save a lot of time.
    8. Alterantively, plug box in and press Menu on
    remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
    then move down to automatic scan and press ok.
    9. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.
    10. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.
    Now press i then 2004. Move down to Key Emu and change option
    to on. Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.
    11. Go to Sly Spots and wait on keys updating.
    12 That should be you.
