THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!


You will need:

A computer with a serial port

A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)

The following file: SVHD+FIX.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

Once you have the above:

Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)

UNZIP the file downloaded

open HD-200_Download.exe

Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)

Turn on receiver with rear switch

bar will start counting to 100%

WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!

Turn off receiver and back on

P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)

Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.

If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:

Go to accessory - network - ip config

Set IP to manual

You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)

apply then exit.

Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.

I hope this helps

Almost forgot after fix ya NEED to install the Starview_HD_Combo_+_0128.uad anyother files will give a usb error problem

hi sorry to bother you again but thought i would chance me arm anyway!

in Accessory/network/CS Net/ Type set to Ustream/ connection status says "connecting" i have pressed ok on register but nothing seems to happen.

also when i look at
in Accessory/network/ sever- sever set up/ everything set to off is this correct

one last thing when i go to IP Set-up the mac adress is in there correct but it is blue text when all the others are in white- Does this matter?

regards

I got am issue with a SV6 HD combo with LAN. The unit has been reset as per the fix at the top of this thread and reinstalled the software, the channels appers but after a few minutes the box starts to reboot, this continues with reboots getting closer together until the box in in a constant cycle of reboot.
Anyone able to advise me on how i could possibly fix this as it is my mates and he is hounding me for it lol.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

its not a starview 6 HD combo its a starview 6 or a starview HD combo, handy to know just wat ya have. id say yer box is faulty like mine as i cant use the 7 day EPG cos that will send me into boot loops for a while so i never use the red button when im in the EPG and no firmware has ever fixed that problem for me. i know the 7 day EPG works as my dads works just fine i just put it down to some boxes
