Cheers malci,

seems more straight forward than I taught. So I just connect the cable to my box, run the .exe file which brings up the GUI and hit download? Im currently running on API 6.00e_E, Boot ver 8.0, do I need to install an in between version or go straight to 8.02e?

This might be useful for any1 else updating the SV3 Box Super, handy install guide:

just go straight up to that one, and good luck.

Hi All

A plea for help. Have spent the last four hours trying to resolve problem, and feeling a bit thick that I can't, considering all the great information on this site but ...... 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 .......

I think I had the same problem as Peter except all my channels are gone exept I only have RTE 1 and Setanta Ireland. All my channels said scrambles or bad channel. I went through the steps that you gave Peter below and nothing has changed except instead of saying Scrambled or bad channel it says data is being updated and nothing is happening.

Can you help. I'm not very tehnical but I am desparate because the only thing to watch is Eastenders, aaahhrrrgg.....



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
Channels found
Exit

Press Menu then 1570
Turn EMU key ON

Exit , exit , exit

Hi, I've tried this plus the emu off and on again with all the s*y movie channels and all the sports channels. I got data percentage up to 230% 5 times and other percentages below this about 15 times but still nothing. Now whatever channel I try its stuck on 0%. Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Guys,

Im new to this Forum and found it upon my many searches on the Internet today trying to see what the hell is going on with my Starview BOX suddenly loosing all its stations last nite...

I presume there is a lot of techys for NTL/Chorus fighting to keep their jobs now that Sky has tld em to get "The BOX" off air as too many customers are not subscribing to SKY anymore.

Anyway, i live in Swords and i have done all the necessary re-installation but all to no avail. I let it try and update itself but went to 220/250% on each occasion and then stopped and back to 0%. Re-install was no joy either so now i turn to you guys and hope that someone out there can give me back my TV for Xmas!! :(

Ian.

I think the bin file comes embedded in the gtrom file, so all you should need to do is click the 'download' button.

Folks,

i am at my wits end. I have downloaded the latest firmware
(thebox_h20081204_455eE_api.bin) using version 4.03 of GTRom.

i reset the box by going into factory settings and clearing it down.

i powered the box down.

restarted it 10 minutes later and went into installation, then i set the provider to NTell (used the correct three letters on the box), then automatic scan.

it found 184 channels.

i came out (exit, exit, exit)

then pressed MENU then 1570 then turned the EMU key ON.

i have some channels not all. i have RTE1, not RTE2, no BBC channels, i have sky sports xtra. Si i dont know if i have just the free to air channels.

all other channels say data is being updated 0%

i dont know whether to wait or if they are stuck in limbo

any help to sort this would be gratefully received
