You need a USB stick to flash the b0x.
Have a look in eamos,In the "B0x super usb" folder under my sig for the firmware V 1.05
There is also a guide to flashing the super usb in there.

 

when I get the memory stick will it be easy to download the firmware.

Sorry gerry, i had to head out earlier. If you buy an 8MB stick, come back on here & we`ll help you flash the b0x
You can also record the odd movie, match etc on the 8MB.

 

Thank you for your great help, If I have a problem downloading the firmware I will come back to you.

Many thanks again.
Gerry.

 

Hi again
I e-mailed the company where I bought the box and and told them they left me short the memory stick.
Do I have to use the box memory stick, or will any memory stick do.
Have I to download the firmware of the net.or is the box memory stick preloaded with the firmware.

Gerry

 

Any 1mb stick will do for the firmware.But for recording an 8MB will do the trick.
The firmware is in eamos library under my sig, its the v 1.05 in the "b0x super usb" folder.

 

Hi, i used a null cable modem for mine. £10 from local pc shop.

 

You cant download the firmware on the Starview 4 with a Null modem cable.

 

ive got the box super.

I downloaded firmware from the site that was given to you before, and was fine. I dont know what version of box i have. Only that it says the box super on the front.

See if this helps!

You have the Starview 3 B0x Super, Gerry has the "B0x super USB, Completely different b0x!

 

Hi I have got the ubs stick. Could you please let me know how I download the firmware and update the box with the Stick. Many thanks

 

Gerry,
To load the file, just drag it onto the memory stick & then put the stick into the USB port on the back of the b0x.
Press the menu button on the remote & you`ll see USB at the bottom of the screen. Highlight USB with the remote & you`ll see[B0x Super USB Bin File] appear on the screen.
Highlight this with the remote & press OK.
The file will now start to load onto the b0x.

When you`ve done this Gerry, come back & i`ll show you how to set up the b0x for viewing.

 

Hi again
I got the firmware donloaded and and got the channells working.
Now I cant seem to be able to record ,when I press the red button to record, a message comes on ,do uyou want to format the drive,when I say yes nothing happens. So can you tell me what to do please.

Gerry

 

You should be able to record via the epg.
Press epg on remote.
On the epg, highlight the programme you want to record, then press the red button.
The epg will show a b0x around the selected programme you want to record. You can skip through the epg to choose what to record.

 

thank you for the help in recording.
I now need to be able to record one channell while I am watching another.Looking at the instruction book I have put the ariel input feed into no.4 , so what numbers should I put the loop cable into so
that I can use the external drive.

Regards
Gerry

 

Good Morning.
Can you please answer my last posting.
Also can you please tell me how to get the timer to do recording.

Kind Regards
Gerry

 

Gerry, you need an external HDD if you want to record hours & hours of TV. The 8MB stick will let you record A few movies, matches etc.
You can delete what you want & then record again.
The firmware is Beta, so theres no timer facility for recording purposes. As far as i know this is being worked on.
So the 8MB will do you if you dont want to splash out on the HDD.

 

hi I gor the external hardrive ,I need a loop cable ,can uou please tell me can i buy a loop in a tv shop.or will I have to buy from the supplier of the box.
Gerry

 

As far as I know, you should be able to get one in the likes of Maplins etc.
