Fekker

This is obviously going over the top of my head but if the people on this thread have a com port and he is saying he had the same problem as them can you please explain why he is saying "You need to emulate a COM port on your PC or Laptop, that does not already have a COM port,"

I'm really interested as I have a com port so does this apply to me or the people on this thread who do have a com port.

Hi

OK - Here is the situation....

If you have a PC or laptop with a COM port built in then use a NULL MODEM CABLE - You do not need any other software to perform the update, other than the GT ROM and the flash file.

If you have PC or Laptop without a COM port, then use a USB to COM cable. This will come with software that you have to install and will convert the USB socket to a COM port - effectively emulating a COM port. THEN CONNECT A NULL MODEM CABLE TO THE USB/COM CABLE AND INTO THE BACK OF YOUR BOX. YOU NEED BOTH TYPES OF CABLES IN THIS INSTANCE.

As long as the GT software is looking to use the same COM port as is setup on your PC / Laptop (this goes for both types of connection) then the update will work. If it does not work, then get back in touch with the person you bought it from.

Hi
I succesfully updated my Starview box after 26th Jan with the files, however when I switched it on last night most of the channels were scrambled again, apart from Sky Two and TCM! Has anyone else experienced any problems. I've had 1 month uninterrupted viewing so cant complain too much!

Thanks in advance

Same here

None of the sports channels are working. I've done a full factory reset and automatically scanned all channels and hardly any channels are working now.

I had similar problems with the Movie and Sportz channels last night on both my Starview & Ev-Max, so itz maybe not your box (cc) thats causing your problem. If you give it a couple of hours then try a re-scan they should be back. Thats what I did last night and they scanned back in and today its been perfect. (Hamilton)

I have just started using the Starview (had ev-max for 9 month) and must say compared to the eur-vox it seems to be high maintanance or is it just bad timing???.
P.s. Sportz channels just had to update themselfs again!!! (10-mins ago)

I'd still like to get the Starview going but I'm going to buy another make of box as the starview seems to be a lot of hassle. at the moment I'm using my analogue that has never had any problems. The only channel I can't get that I want to watch is S extra
