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.


i have done this but i havent lost any of my channels so have i done it wrong im in ireland but the provider is saying tw should this be ntl i havent as clue if i have done it wrong or not

Change the TW to N*L
Press 1570 on remote and turn the EMU back on

then press DEFAULT KEY...then turn EMU on and EXIT.
return to main tv screen and wait for the code to update this could go as high as 250% just be patient and do not change the channel
until it has finished otherwise you will have to start all over again
im sorry to be a pain in the a** but i changed the provider to n*l but what i dont understand is when u say press 1570 on the remote where is this how do i find it and where is emu so sorry again

shouldnt really...

if you press language /english/check your provider at the top/ autoscan/ exit once you should see EMU, turn ON/exit to screen/ put on sky spots it should work...I have to go out shortly...but someone will give you a hand or else I will be back tonight and sort it !!
try it once more and let me know.....

When you saud your box went down - what did you mean, no signal? no programmes, what?, is it a problem with the supplier?. If you have done a Factory Reset, then it will automatically take you to the Language - you just accept the Language and setup your box as normal, where are you and what supplier.

Then it is a problem with your cable feed to the box, check it carefully to make sure it is nice and tight and all is OK it may even have come out, because "no signal" means exactly that.

Right, if you have re-connected everything now - Press Menu, Down to Factory settings OK (enter 0000) press OK to delete, and then you will be back at the Language OK to accept English and then you will be back to Installation OK (Choose your provider i.e. TW NTL etc.)and then down to Automatic Scan OK again and let it scan, when it has finished scanning, you will get the message "Please Wait for saving". you then exit out to the main Menu, and key in 1570 via the keypad on remote and Cas System Menu will appear, go down to Key Emu and turn to ON > with arrow key, and then exit out to an encrypted channel and you should be sorted. (I presume you have the auto-roll firmware on) If not then I would advise you to check the information first and make a note of it for manual entry later).

Hi, Ive updated my starview box, done the whole 1570, emu on...everything..then when I exit back to sky sports, a box comes up saying data is being updated and goes up to 250% (sometimes less) this then flicks back to sky sports but still nothing. This keeps happening over and over again. Am I doing something wrong??

go to menu 1570 and press default key and exit out to scrambled channel and let it update

Also are you sure you updated to the CryptStar firmware

Also might help if you stick to one thread as well

Just looking for some help! Ive flashed my starview box twice now, it installed perfectly, followed the previous instructions doing 1570, making sure the emu key is on, set default key and exiting back out to sky sports. I seem to be having the same problem as a few others here. It just keeps updating itself to 250% but then nothing. I seem to have all the channels though. Would be gratful for any help anyone can give.
Thanks
