Try this;
Network setting------Auto
Select-- 1st DNS
APPLY
The box should collect all req. data from network itself.

if you google starview 6 a list of suppliers will appear,i have my own supplier,i will not advertise them here.as regards the life span of the box,it appears there is a built in timer in the box and after one year the box goes dead,there is a possibility it could go dead before that?who knows...

That would certainly kill the second hand market anyway. Maybe someone here will work out a hack to reset the internal timer. If that happens, maybe I will be more interested in investing (as I'm sure everyone else would be). But I'd be fearful of using it with their broadband due to potential packet sniffing - would have to change supplier I guess but that's no skin off my nose ;)

the Sv firmware has always been closed source and for very good reason. Think its just the case of thats the deal with the boxs, dont like it, dont buy one and vice versa
