You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine Count the vents on top 18x7 = Clone 25x7 = Genuine 13x7 = 1st Generation Also looking from the front Scart to the left = Clone Scart to the right = Genuine Also you can go here to see some pics http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oon You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F. Null Modem Cable http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6 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.

For anyone that wants to update a Starvi*w box First check if you have a clone or genuine Clone/Genuine Comparison - http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oo You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F. Null modem info http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6 You will need GT ROM LOADER (Software) 2.57_FIXED is for Clones (Firmwa*r) 4.00 is for genuines (Firmwa*r) These can be downloaded here In the Starvi*w Folder http://eko.4shared.com/ Updating Firmware Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY. (The Starview does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM) Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT that matches the one that is being used Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC. Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase then Download completed message on your PC. Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starview will then reboot Turn off Starvi*w, then plug your tv cable and scart back in and turn back ON carbs86 this is for starview1 if you have starview2 (the box)you should flash with v4.50 for Ireland or v4.51 for the uk.This guide is courtesy of some1 else(sorry cant remember who!)
