The Box - Keeps Updating Itself

Hi Lads,
I have a Starview "The Box",
It was working ok up to last week.
At the moment it has only the following working channels.
Rte 1,INFO TV,Extreme Sports, Buzz Tv, Kerrang, QVC, EWTN, Setana Ireland , Channel South,
Euronews.
When I put on a differant channel eg Sly Spor###,the Box Updates itself, Goes upto aprox 200% and starts all over again.???

Im on Ch~~~s Cork cable.
The Box has the following flash on it.

API Version 4.57e_E
Boot Version 7.0
22 Dec 08
emu Turned on.

I have done a factory reset a few times and rescan. I have flashed the box a few times and turned the emu back on. I have full epg and a approx 140 chaannels in total.
I have 2 boxes in the house. The other is a Box super and it works ok with ALL the channels available.

I thought I have the latest flash on it? OR have I being `"Nagra3èd"

 

there is a newer firmware than that, its the same version number but with a different date
get it here

and use the 4.03loader from here

 

Thats what he is using at the moment Cathal

He needs to turn the box off from the power for a minute or two. Factory reset, rescan and turn key emu back on. Scan from the direct feed for the initial scan.

 

Hi Cathaldub,
Many thanks for this. I will reflash it tonite .
I wont be able to check it till tomorrow. I will let u know on how i got on.
Once again. Thanks

 

Look up ^^^^^^

 

Hi Scouser,
I will try that, so there is no need to do a reflash.
I will try it tomorrow.BTW Im picking up all the channels, Just not "Unlocking" them.
TIA.

 

Hi lads,
I reflashed the box with the above image, Incase it was a problem with the image I had. I unplugged the box to flash it. Plugged it back in. Done a reset, rescan,emu on.
Got 123 channels. But same problem. Kept updating.
Then I followed Scousers ideas and hey presto Im up and running.
It updated and all the channels unlocked.
Kind of puzzles me on what exactly the problem was.
But now Im up and running.
Thanks Scouser and Cathaldub for your help.

 

I have the same problem. had nearly given up on the box but your experience gave me hope. How do I do a factory reset? do I need a specific code?

 

factory reset is 0000.then do a fresh installation , enter provider then automatic scan,dont forget to turn emu on ,press menu then1570 go to turn emu on then exit 3 times ,that shud do it

 

Click Menu, and scroll down to Factory setting and press ok. Then ok again. The box then will be rest. Everthing would be lost.You will have to scan again , turn emu on and follow Scousers steps above.

 

Thank you reaper180. I did what you said but no joy I'm sorry to say. The majority of channels (rte2 bbc etc) blocked with dollar signs.

 

wat does it say on those channels,did u turn emu on

 

Emu is on. It says updating till 200% and then starts again. thanks for your help

Hi,

What are the steps that scouser pointed out?..am i missing something?

I put the latest firmware (as suggested here) on my Box, and then turned off for a while...turned on, reset, rescaned, turned EMU on, and when i go to the channels it just keeps updating.

Am i missing something

Ta.

 

@ Scouser:

I Shout boxed you then noticed the comment that you dont read your shouts often so I am hoping that I am in the correct forum for you to help me.

I have learned many things from these forums and have flashed a few Starviews before.

Im at the end of my tether! I have a starview 2 box which has the right amount of slots on the top and the back/insides look correct for a genuine box.
I have firmware v4.55e and boot version 7.00 but for some strange reason I cannot get it to pick up any channels, it found them the first time I searched but since i did a factory reset ..... NOTHING!
I have the EMU turned on, is there anything else at all I can do or is it the knackers yard for this box?

Every time I scan I just get "Failed" on every scan?

I had a starview 2 before which I gave to my father(upgraded to a starview 4 box super USB) and the flash etc worked fine with the same software/lead used on this one I just cant understand it?

I also have my network set to Telepest which is correct and have the latest keys installed????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

try the other providers when u do a scan like ,ex c&w,ntl

 

are you even getting the free view channels or is there no channels coming in at all
