fix from the box distrubation for the starview hd combo
THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!
You will need:
A computer with a serial port
A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)
The following file: http://www.theboxdistribution.co.uk/files/SVHD+FIX.zip
Once you have the above:
Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)
UNZIP the file downloaded
open HD-200_Download.exe
Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)
Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)
Turn on receiver with rear switch
bar will start counting to 100%
WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!
Turn off receiver and back on
P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)
Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.
If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:
Go to accessory - network - ip config
Set IP to manual
You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)
apply then exit.
Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.
I hope this helps
Regards
Martin

I'm trying to upload this fix, all goes ok until it's supposed to take the software and go to 100%, nothing happens it just sits at 0% and won't take the software when i switch the box on at the back.
I'm using the same null modem cable that i used to update my starview 2 with so i know it works, ive also tried a different laptop.
Any ideas?

What happened was, we had a power cut whilst i was uploading some firmware at 55% to the box and once the power was restored the box wont come back on at all, all i have is a red light on the box thats it.
Not sure where i go from here now?
Help!!

From the fix link "P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)" you say you have a red light on the box so you should be able to fix it (i take it you mean a wee red dot), i know that on mine when im applying the fix i have a red light on too but the fix still updates.
Oh and also when i did mine i had probs getting the update to work, i had to make sure the RS232 was in both PC and the box perfectly straight so just make sure yours are too

Ive tried everything possible with this box, ive even managed to get the box in test mode by holding down up/down buttons when powering on, and the mac fails when trying to test it, ive tried a reset by holding down the power button whilst turning back on.
I'm sure someone will come up with a fix soon, i'm almost going back to tv my supplier with my reddies in hand as i'm that fed up with the thing.
Yes it has a small red dot on the front of the box, ive tried that update until i'm blue in the face it will not upload, ive tried every different cable under the sun and 2 different laptops, it still will not move from 0% it just sits there laughing at me.
I will perservere and let you know if i get it to work, Thanks.

Thanks allot guys ;-)
