starview

hi does anybody know anything about the new starview boxes
i was wondering do they automaticly update when n*l ireland change there codes
Thanks

 

The new box is just the old box with a new front. It's just a way for the sellers to extract some more of our hard earned cash. The old starview is autoupdating with the new firmware version 4 just released today.

 

thanks stoe46 how much does the new version cost do you know

 

you can download it free.

 

alnmp

As I've said in other threads, make sure your box is not a "clone". The v4 firmware will kill it if it is a "clone".

I know because I killed mine last night.

Be very sure before you do anything.

If you don't want to manually update the keys when/if it goes down, you can flash it to v3, then when the keys update and you get your channels back, flash it back to v2.57. This will take about 6 - 7 mins.

 

Does this apply to the Starview 2 as well and how do you know if your machine is actually a "clone"..........rather than the original thing? I have just ordered one and now a bit worried!!

 

this does not apply to starview 2 just starview one

 

how do you flash it mate

 

You'll need an rs232 null modem cable, and the loader software. I'll have a root around for a link to the loader software.
