This is only happening on cloned Starview 4 USB receivers. The V1.10 software is not clone friendly.
Where did you buy the box from?

Look through the grills on the top chassis cover. if you see a silver heat sink on top of the processor, then you have a clone.
This is the most obvious way of telling a Starview 4 clone. The processors that the clones use have not passed the quality control, i.e. The processors yield temperature exceeds the recommended value. Therefore a heat sink is used to keep the temperature down.

Mine was a clone and I updated to 1.10 and it went the same way as the rest of them.

Now ive switched it off it wont come back on. It has no numbers or lights on the front but i know there is power going to it because when you turn it on the colour changes to a different shad of black. Any ideas?
i have same problem with mine did you manage to sort yours?

get on to the supplier, and get them to get it repaired, as im sure the box is under warranty.

If the box is dead it wont matter, weather or not there is software on it or not, as the box will be dead, so i would not worry about that part of it, who is to say the box was not running FTA software. ??

Working fine after putting new firmware on it and then next day "invalid box" froze, powered off, then no power again...
Heat sink is fitted to this SV4 so obviously a clone....
Must be killer software from SV......
is Jtagging working or any other fix.....

Hi Guys,
I didn't know there was a cloned version of this box. I updated one of those Starview 4 usb boxes on Friday and hes getting the invalid box signal now. Is this a definately a clone issue as i have more of those boxes to flash this week. Sh*t, Sh*t , Sh*t, Sh"t, !!! Don't suppose theres a way back for those FUBAR boxs ?
OK, so whats the speed of dark?

Looks likely the only way out is to sell on fleabay to the uk if you are in Ireland.
