This is for a Starview only not for The Box.

You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine

Please click the SV EV Info link at the end of my post to compare clone V genuine boxes.

You will 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%20Adaptor

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

All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos FTA Library.

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

You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.
You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.


Updating Firmware

Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY.
(The Starview does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM)

Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT
that matches the one that is being used

Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.

Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase
then Download completed message on your PC.

Moving Channels

Press Menu > Channel Edit > 0000 > Press YELLOW button to EDIT > Highlight the channel you want to move > Press the RED button to MOVE > Use your \/ /\ arrows to move it where you want and press OK

Repeat till you have them sorted in the order you like

When your finished , press EXIT and it will save them for you

Have you got the latest version of the kryptview software?
I believe the latest version was released ion 9th Jan 2008.

Also, anyone bought from link removed?
They are close to where I love so like the idea of being able to pop in and see them if I have a problem. Seems ok and prices are as good as you get else where.

Hello Ferg,

Dont know what happened with regards to the PM. Would you be kind enough to answer 2 questions for me please?

Is the Box-T limited to choru* only via rooftop, and if so would the eurovoxTX cover the rest of providers?

Thanx in advance,

KMAC.

Hi Never received your PM but yes i will answer your question

First off both the Box T and the euro TX are confined to the C***** network only

you do not need to use on N** network as they use dvb-c

C***** Network are the only ones on MMDS that use dvb-T ok

hope this helps you out ok

Sorry binkie7, wasn't an advertisment, was a question, but take your point. Am I able to ask about them but without posting a link ... or can you just not talk about sellers?
Doesn't matter anyway now as I've taken the plundge and ordered from them.
