    Hey there people,
    Have just moved house where the b*x was working perfectly. Moved to another place in dublin and had U*C newly installed. Two months later I tried re-installing the b*x but to no avail. I've taken in (almost!) all the frankly staggering amount of advice on here and have come to the conclusion that U*C have kicked my ass on this one. Would that be an accurate statement?
    I am all ears for your sage-like wisdom.

    O by the way when I say "took advice", that's concerning updating all software, factory settings, etc.
    Peace.

    what is the problem you're having? no signal, scrambled or bad channel.

    When i was installing it - going through the N*L section, 1/24, saved 35 channels. When i reset to factory it became 1/37 and saved 187 channels.
    I thought happy days cos that's how it installed when it worked before but alas, I either get a blank screen or the scrambled message.
    Haven't U*C made my box obsolete with a new system or something?
    Thanks for getting back to me

    I am trying to update the software on my 'The Box PVR'. I am in Ireland and I have version 3.104 on the box. I have read the instructions for update on http://www.freewebs.com/starview-update/.

    I cannot seem to download the correct files...

    My box has none of the specified vents mentioned by celtic, it has 28x8 vents, i think it is genuine...

    Do i need one of the mentioned cables?? Can i not use a usb to usb cable?? It fits into the box...

    Any help is much appreciated

    Hi,
    I have read this guide about updating a starview 3.
    But first I want to make sure I have The Box Super and not a clone.
    What i've read and the pics I looked at say its a genuine, but i've been told this info only applies to the starview 1.
    Where can I find info to make sure my starview 3 in genuine?
    Been searching google but finding nothing on starview 3 apart from buying one or updating it.
    Anyone have a genuine starview 3 and able to post some pictures and info, or point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for reading and any info would be great.
