Another Box, A splitter Kit, another scart lead and ideally another Tv :-D
This box along with all other versions apart from the BOX PVR are single tuners so u can only record the channel its on

Hi,
I?m a long time reader, first time writer.
Need some help. Just got my new Starview 5 ... Loaded the F/W as instructed and rebooted. Tried to run the channel scan, but nothing is being found.
Readings (level and quality) are all 0%.
Maybe I?m doing something stupid or I just can?t get the channels.

Have you a live cable feed, and the cable going direct to the cable input on the back of the box, and you are scanning on your correct provider.

Cable feed is live I believe ... When connected directly to the TV I?ve got the standard channels.
Cable is going directly into the cable input at the back of the box and scanning the second provider on the list because I?m in the UK.

Had the updated f/w, but formatted the USB stick and re-downloaded ... Reset the box to factory setting and went over the process again. During auto scanning the top status bar sometimes shows full green, but no channels seem to lock in.
Tried over and over again on all the providers, but no luck.
Any suggestions before I trash this box?
Cheers

Got starview 5 thru the post today. Downloaded the newest firmware, v2.03. Put it on usb, connected usb to the box. Switched it on, chose english, then selected usb. Selected the firmware, waited for it to install, after 100% the box rebooted (took about a minute). Done channel search (automatic scan) found all the channels. Went to menu, pressed 1570 on the remote. Turned code "on". exited.
All channels working great!
Jus some channels are poor quality on my HD tv.
Hi,
I downloaded the file from laptop to usb connector and then connected it to the back of the box.
when the file on the usb comes on screen do you select FORMAT?
I did that and it comes up with 2 files (Backup firectories)
It doesnt reboot and when i scan it finds all the channels but only basic ones are working?
I tried to press 1570 from menu but nothing changed...should a message to turn code on come up?
Appreciate an idiots guide tour of what i should do..Please,
.

When you formatted the drive the file will have disppeared.
Load and try again. Don't insert the drive if the box is turned on - it doesn't like it.
