    1. Plug starview in at the mains;and put on stand by

    2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
    PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
    this on the starview you cant go wrong);

    3. Open up GTRom loader this will be the soft ware on the cd

    4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
    Auto update BIN File file that you have
    (which I assume you have downloaded from here).

    5. Now click download button and you sill se the
    file being downloaded.

    6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
    something like "download successful".(you must wait till youir pc says this it about 20 seconds atfer it says 100%))


    7, plug box in and press Menu on
    remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
    then move don to automatic scan and press ok.

    8. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.

    9. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.

    10 Now press the info button then the numbers 2 0 0 4. Move down to Key Emu and change option
    to on.
    Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.

    11. Go to scrambled channel and wait for it to unscramble the channels

    12 then watch tv.

    13. Details how to sort favourites etc is in the manual.
    Get a Bin c=image for your area though and this will
    save you a bit of work.

    If you're sure it's the box then it's a starview 2 and the file you downloaded is a rar file. Just go to google and type in Winrar and download and install it, it's free. It's exactly the same as winzip.
    You won't get any premium channels back here in Ireland and also you'll be missing some others such as E4+1, More4+1, Hallmark and a couple others.

    No problem mate we'll get there. It sounds like you didn't install Winrar properly. What icon has the firmware rar file on your desktop??
    It should have 3 books stacked with a strap around them which means it's associated with Winrar. If the firmware doesn't have this icon it's not installed correctly.
