The Box (Ireland)

Hi Folks,

New to the forum but not non-techie (i hope)

Relation has "The Box". Is this also known as the Starview 2 before i go and flash the wrong one?

I have downloaded GTRom_4.03 (Loader) and h20081204_455eE_api.bin (Flash File) for Cork, Ireland.

Are these the correct files.

Thanks,
B

 

Hi, this is the kind of clear concise thread I like.

I'm looking for help too. If they are the correct files, is there somewhere that tells me exactly how to install this firmware? I have never done anything like it before.

 

SV2 is 'The Box' so yes all is correct

'How to' is here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/663923

 

Meant to say that i also read all relevant posts and guides. Just want to be sure and not flash the system and break it. Provider is Ch***s

 

Thanks guys, keep up the good work. Will revert back tomorrow to let yee know if successful.

This update reminds me of the old Queen song - Flash Ahh Ahh - It'll save everyone of us

 

Hi guys,

Do i also need a key to input into the box (hidden menu etc.) or is the flash the only thing i need to do.

Ta,
B

thats great, am checking down in http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/722659 and tried the one with StarView3 but there seems to be something wrong with the link, it just go to the main page for 4shared..

any ideas??

 

I allegedly got all my channels back by just entering those codes doing the rounds. No need for update.

 

Yes, you will get your channels back by manual inputting codes, but how often do you want to have to do that?

 

it's hardly back breaking stuff. The upgrading seems pretty complicated. I don't have the correct cables. This seems okay to me.

 

It is mate when your in the middle of watching something such as footy and they just go off!! it breaks my heart LOL.

 

the upgrading is actually quite easy and as hiteck says your in the middle of watching something and bang it goes and sometimes its quite hard to find these codes you need, so no the best option is go to maplins or similar and buy your null modem rs232 cable and update.

 

Hi sorry to bother you but I have 'the box' and I've downloaded thebox_Ireland_H20070705_450eE_api.bin and v4.03_051005.exeSTB Updater Application and they dont seem to be working. Am I using the right firmware, I am in Celbridge Ireland and Im connected to NTL? If its not the right firmware could you post a link to the correct one, thanks in advance- female in distress!!

 

This is what you need,

Thanks for that,i've downloaded it and it wont open its saying cannot open this file there is a white square beside it, any ideas on how I can open it, thanks again

 

It's a bin file you need win rar to extract it.
