Use the uk fix from eamo's library, downloader v 4.03 and new firmware 4.55

Can take a while for it to boot in, i did a few yesterday and they took ages to unscramble.

You went here and got the two files yes?

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/722659

Version 4.03 of the downloader and the uk fix version 4.55.

After you downoad the 4.55 you have to unzip it with win rar as it is a bin file.

Folks,

I downloaded the file "thebox_h20081204_455eE_api.bin" onto my starview (model: thebox)

I then powered the box up and down again having removed the NULL cable from the back.

I then went into the installation menu, select "NTL" as the provider and then selected automatic scan.

it indicated that if found 37 channels.

I hit exit 3 times until the normal screen came up.

I then pressed the menu button and then digits 1570.

I wet to the nagravison line and hit the right arrow. nothing happened.

I went down to the Key EMU line and it already said ON so i left it

i pressed exit.

i can only find RTE1 all others are not there yet. I went to Sky Sports 1 which is meant to be one of the first to come back.

Can someone confirm that it doesnt just come back automatically and that it takes some time. I am getting the dialogue box saying Data is being updated.

I have confirmed that the 455 firmware is installed on the box.

Any clarity on what is a reasonable time to wait would be much appreciated.

hi malci, i'm new to all this, it won't exit out of language - english, it will let you go forward as far as scanning, which fails, then when you go to exit you're back stuck on language. thanks for the reply.

It's only because it has not installed correctly, are you sure that you are choosing your correct provider and have the cable in the cable input socket, if you are doing that and still getting back at the same place. Then turn it off remove and do another relash.

You need to do a factory reset before you auto scan, then turn emu back on and update on s*y2. should only take a few minutes after you have finished the auto scan.

Hi Malci

Like Dwyer, I too am stuck. My problem is that I have done a factory reset on my genuine starview box and since then have not been able to get ANY channel found - I have done obvious things - Slected NTHell in installation,checked my signal, tried resetting again, manual scan, messed around with some of the user setup settings - nothing. I even flashed the latest software today - no joy, I am still stuck in the main menu !
Assuming it is a setting, suspicious of modulator setting - PAL-I Channel38 - not sure if this is right for Dublin - but this may have nothing to do with problem. Appreciate any help ye can give me .......
