    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

    What provider are you with ? All codes providers given in that link and all codes in it are up to date so it could be you're entering them wrong or not storing them after you enter them

    i got it! sorry i didnt realise that i had to turn off the EMU before entering the keys, then turn it back on after.

    so what advantages will i gain from downloading ver 4.00 onto my starview?

    i read on another post about how to tell if its a starview 1 or 2. mines is a 1.

    so when i plug my box into my laptop, do i disconnect it from my tv and the power?

    what steps do i take on my pc?

    Version 4 will most of the time auto update the codes on your box when they change it saves you having to keep doing it yourself,it'll also improve the EPG a little bit but not much and if you're experiencing alot of "Info bad/scrambled channel" messages while watching a channel this version will also stop that.

    To update your box you'll need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info

    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.

    USB Adapter info

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Modu...erial Adaptor

    These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

    All firmware/loader can be found here http://eko.4shared.com/

    You will need the GTromloader, (Starview Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

    **You should download the Starview PDF guide this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything***.This can be found in the Starview Documentation folder in the link. (Thanks to Celtic for this guide)
