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: NEW FILE COMING SOON!!!

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
