@ ritchey, I was referring to the prob with the older Sv4 firmware, where ya had to load the EPG, the latter ones ya didnt,
Epg for some reason is always dodgy on the SV

Hi
I have been using a starview one for several years with no problem.
I am planning on buying a Starview 5 this week. I have downloaded the correct bin file (TheboxSuperUSB2_v2.03.20090923.BIN) which I found without any problem and placed it on a properly formated USB (4Gb) stick.
I have three questions if someone has time to answer them-
1) The supplier I purchased my original box from no longer exists I was planning to buy a starview 5 from www.theboxdistribution.co.uk
Is this company a reputable supplier or do you have any better/more reputable companies to suggest?
2) Using the instructions listed to install the latest firmware will the chanels found on instalation have there proper names or will I have to spend hours renaming chanels again (oh the joy..lol)
3) I am very comfortable using the starview 1 interface and have been updating "things" manualy for some time, Is this still possible using the starview 5 or do I have to wait for new firmware to be developed before I can use it again
Thanks in advance
Also I use the Keymaster program is starview 5 compatible?

Try Wizzard Sat or Skywonder to compare prices
2) Using the instructions listed to install the latest firmware will the chanels found on instalation have there proper names or will I have to spend hours renaming chanels again (oh the joy..lol)
Nope all done as per a subbed box, chans in proper order, names and favs done
3) I am very comfortable using the starview 1 interface and have been updating "things" manualy for some time, Is this still possible using the starview 5 or do I have to wait for new firmware to be developed before I can use it again - Autoroll on this box, no need to manually update once firmware loaded

Cheers Mickah
I will check those supliers you mentioned for price but £85 seems to be the cheapest I've found.
Glad to hear I dont need to rename anything...lol
Once again thanks for answering my questions.

Hello i bought a starview 5 box recently using a splitter from vm internet to the box installed the firmware keycode is on all the channels are there the only problem i am having is the picture quality is very blocky and loads and loads of faint little squares in the picture. It is extremly off putting to the point of not being able to view it anymore. Please i have tried a system re install puting it back to factory settings checking all the connections then starting from normal again but the same old thing. It worked good when i first got the box for an half an hour or so then i noticed the picture quality. The signal level is at 48% and the signal quality is at 99% please help!

Yes i know the signal is to low but if i get a signal booster it will just boost the bad picture i have heard and make it even worse so i dont want to waste 20-30 quid for nothing i realy dont know what to do any advice would be great

spend the 20-30quid on a signal booster and increase your signal level it needs to be around 60%

I know a signal booster would do good if my box was showing clear but i think it will just amplify the little squares and make it even more worse than it is. I notice that when i go to a channel with a higher signal strength say 58% the picture is absolutly terrible and you can see the faint squares much more. Im starting to think there is something with the box as even when i was in the main menu of installation there are still squares in the background and it is very fuzzy which leads me to believe the box is maybe faulty?

could be yer splitter if its a shite quality one, it will lower the signal, get yerself a proper splitter and also make sure your cables are in good order, if you split the cable yerself, it may not be done right and will result in a poor signal. So you may need to look at where you split it and the splitter.

Erm well the splitter i am using is this konig splitter with dc power pass bought from ebay. But it dont think it is original as the logo doesnt match the one on amazon and it also has no CE sign on it. Also i done the splitting by taking the main cable feed attaching it to the 2 way splitter then the cables i bought already has f types on them so i simply attached one cable to my modem and one to the box. All connections are tight and secure but still fuzzy picture its realy anoying!
