    Hey

    Im having some trouble updating my Starview box so im looking for some help.

    I've in Ireland, im unsure if i have Starview 1 or 2 (or if there is a difference).

    In my system information it says:
    STARVIEW
    API ver: 4.00e_E
    Boot ver: 7.0
    7.Jun.2007

    At the moment i have the null modem cable connected to the box with GTRom v4.00 open and im trying to download - thebox_Ireland_H20070705_450eE_api.bin onto the box. I have tried over and over again with no luck so im just looking to see if there are any more suggestions.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Yes then I presume it was a Starview 1 and you knew which was the correct firmware to use from page 1?

    That worked! big big big thanks mate thought me trusty sv box was done for. I uploaded the totatly wrong firmw for it and was stuck on a horrible white screen sayin "the box" and no way of gettin into standby. The method of having the firm ready and hit the power button at the same time worked first time. So anyone else having same sort of problem its all up there if ya take the time to look.

    Thanks again :)

    The firmware you are trying to download is for an SV2 called "The Box", does it say "The Box" on the front of the receiver? If not you are using the wrong firmware.

    I presume you have had version 4 on it for a long time, if so its a genuine box and you need to use Crpytstar V1.4 as per page one. This is for a genuine SV1.

    Yeah, i've had it for about a year since i got the box. I tried CryptStar-v1.4-Core400.bin but still no luck. It just comes up 'Flash Update Failed...' after about 5 seconds.

    Could it be anything to do with me using a laptop with an adaptor for changing the 9 pin female end of the cable to a 25 pin male?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes that is your problem you need to use the cable/cables specified on page one. All you have at the moment is an adapter on your parallel port by the looks of it.

    rach .. You will need to download WinR@r to extract the gt rom file to your desktop and run it from there , this can be found in Eamo;s Library also
