Thanks again for the help.
you`ll always find someone on here to help you if you still cant get it sorted.

Hello once again. Afraid that nothing has worked so far. Anyone with any options other than to throw out the receiver?

Keep hanging in there , We will get you back up and running :)

Try this

Press Menu
Press OK to select Installation
Choose Provider
Go down to Manual Scan
Press OK

You should now see
Down Freq
Symbol rate

Where "Down Freq" is type in 299.000
Symbol Rate should be 6887

Press OK to Scan

You will need to do each freq on seperate manual scans and see if you get any channels that way


299.000
314.000
322.000
339.000
347.000
355.000
363.000
371.000
386.000
394.000
410.000
419.000
426.000
444.000

Hi sorry to be changing the subject slightly but when i try to download the genuine v1.4Core400.bin file from the GTRomv4.00 application with COM 1 to COM 1 on my laptop using a 9 pin null modem cable, after following instructions exactly i still get a 'flash update fail -retry, cancel' message every time... I know the box was flashed around this time last year, would this make any difference. Is my box just knackered now? I also tried to flash it with the older firmware with the same message 'flash update fail'
If someone knows of this fix i would really appreciate it..

Thanks in advance

Tried that. Thanks again for the help but its not receiving any signal. I am beginning to suspect a power surge or something took out the receiver. Signal is fine in my normal cable box.

Celtic71, just wanted to let you know that the null cable i got from work today worked a treat and flashed perfectly! Result. Turns out the "null modem cable" i bought on ebay didn't even work or wasn't a null modem, thats why the flash update kept coming up.

Thanks for yer help! Roll on Thursday

Its simple enough when you say you have the files etc what one are you using as it depends were you are Eire/ UK.do you have the Null Modem Cable? if so do the following:

UPLOADING SOFTWARE TUTORIAL
1. Plug your box in at the mains;
2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
this on the Starview you cant go wrong);
3. Open up GTRom loader or whatever software you have
for loading image on the box.
4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
Auto update BIN File file that you have

5. Now click download button and you will see the
file being downloaded.
6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
something like "download successful".
7.Ideally you should try and get a bin file channel
list for your area and load this as well it will save a lot of time.
8. Alterantively, plug box in and press Menu on
remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
then move down to automatic scan and press ok.
9. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.
10. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.
Now press i then 2004. Move down to Key Emu and change option
to on. Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.
11. Go to Sly Spots and wait on keys updating.
12 That should be you.
