    Can anyone help?I'm trying to use a Starview box (currently on n*l via dish).It finds all the channels ok, but frequently drops them, or freezes altogether.also, a channel will work fine, then 5 minutes later its 'scrambled or bad channel' or even 'no signal'.Is it just a cas of a weak signal?

    Are u using a satellite dish because starview is run off cable !
    its a dvb-c box and satellite use DVB-S, DVB-S2 or DVB-SH.
    so thats your problem m8.
    firmware is basically the brains in your box
    u can check it by hittng menu and system info !
