Hi guys,
I am a newbie, I have a genuine first generation starview box, one of the guys in the house is a computer engineer and has downloaded the firmware and put it on my box but I am still not able to get any channels, any advice????

 

hi, trying to update firmware on my Genuine starview box, BUT WHEN I PRESS DOWNLOAD ON GTRom nothing happens, i can see the download window but it dosnt move, please help

 

Have you got the b0x on stand-by ?

Are you sure its a NULL MODEM CABLE you have ?

Are you using a laptop and USB Adapter ?

 

What does it say on your TV screen ?

What area and provider are you using ?

Have you got any ch@nnels at all ?

 

is there any diffrence in nul and serial 9pin cable?

i am using usd adptor

i have tried with box on stanby

 

The NULL MODEM CABLE should be 9pin female to female and did you install the drivers for the USB Adapter ?

 

i have this cable DB9F to DB9M with female adaptor and than usb connection for the laptop. you think this lead will work? thanks for your help

 

I dont think that will work ,

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

 

sorry, WHR CAN I CHK IF A DRIVER HAS BEEN INSTALL OR NOT FOR THE USB? THNKS

 

Starview API ver 4.00e_E

Boot Ver 7.0 7 june 2007

I still can't get a picture, followed both Docs on celtic71's post but still nothing..

Do I need to update my Boot Versions?

Ive flashed it about 5 times now

Any help appreciated

 

I have tried everything I can, even scanning different providers only get 80 or so channels and some of them are pixelated, another SV1 works fine on my cable supply, I cant work out what has gone wrong with my SV, If I need a new box are there any suggestions as to which are the best.

Thanks for your time and effforts

 

The System Information is correct API ver 4.00eE 7th June 2007 because it is that version which has been modded to auto-roll the key's (Crypstar - V1.4 genuine only) if in doubt whether you have or it works or not, or you just simply want to check it out - Menu-1570-and press the Default Key- back to encrypted channel and wait for it to update

 

Phil , why dont you do a b0x to b0x transfer of the ch@nnels on the good b0x to the b0x thats not working ?

 

hello all,

im having a problem flashing a couple of starviews.
ive flashed at least 40 of these boxes in the past with no problems at all,but on these two boxes the progress bar in the gtrom loader wont move past 0%.i thought it might be the cable so i re-flashed a third box i have and that worked fine?? has anyone came across this before??

thanks
