Press Menu > System Information and tell us what the API is please

Starvi*w 1 and 2 use different firmware


Starvi*w 1
You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine

Count the vents on top

18x7 = Clone
25x7 = Genuine
13x7 = 1st Generation

Also looking from the front
Scart to the left = Clone
Scart to the right = Genuine

Also you can go here to see some pics
http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oon


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.
You will need version 4.50 firmware for THE B0X found in "THE B0X" firmware folder.

Ok if its a clone it probally has the normal 2.57 on it and if you update it with 2.57_FIXED , it will auto roll the codes for you

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

Null Modem Cable

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

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

Ok try do another auto scan , sometimes it picks up 33 channels , you might have to do auto scan 2 or 3 times to get ALL channels

If that fails try this method below

Menu > Factory Setting
PIN 0000
OK to delete

Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

English > Installation
Choose Provider etc
Automatic Scan
Press OK
176 Channels found
Exit

Press Menu then 1570
Turn EMU key ON

Exit , exit , exit

, Ok so you have all your channels up and running now ?

To test if the auto roll works

Press Menu then 1570 and in Nagravision change the numbers in 00 (e.g. 12 34 56 78 90 00 12) and press OK to store , Exit back , and then press "Set Default Key"
Exit back and tune into S*Y Sports and let it update the codes :)
