Wheelo Glad I could be of some assistance. I have the SV1 and the box super (SV3) and I find them great so you'll have no problem learning how to flash, turn on EMU etc, and if you get stuck there'll always be someone to help, now bring on your remote. :)

Looked in system information and it says the following:

Boot Ver 7.0

Is this correct ?

That is exactly correct, that is the file that was modded to AU, so you definatley have the correct firmware on the SV1.

Any idea why I would be getting 0 channels found ? As I had originally flashed with the box version might this have messed it up? I am NTL. Would inputting the keys/resetting factory defaults help ? Or is it time for me to give up ???

Inputting keys will make no difference as you cannot find any channels. You have the correct firmware installed so I would start with the connections and double check that they are connected correctly. It may sound obvious but you'd be surprised at the number of people who have found out that a cable or scart lead ends up to be the problem. Also remove any splitters on the line while you do the scan.
You do not need EMU on to scan for channels, you switch it on afterwards, not that it should cause a problem.

Right I have checked all the cables and they are all fine. I have taken it to a friends house to see if it works there. However they are Chor*s and i am N*L. When the installation menu comes up it does not have chorus as a providor...it has NTL, TW..etc but no chorus. Do you think it is worthwile checking it in a firends house ? If so how do I get chir*s up as a providor ???

Ah, you are in the Emerald isle, I'll have to get back to you as I'll need to check the firmware you need as to my understanding, and I could be wrong you may be using the UK fix.

Hi all this is my first ever entry so i am sorry if I am in the wrong place to be asking this question.
I have had a starview original for over two years and have updated the firmware on not only that but many of my family and friends boxes too but I have now met my match. I am in eire and my supplier is N*L. But my work pal has asked me to load the latest firmware onto his The Box-T (think its C***s) and it wont let me even load the firm ware. I have downloaded the latest from eamos Library but I keep getting, V4.03_051005 flash update fail. I dont wanbt to let my buddy down can anyone lend some advise please.

There is no specific Irish or UK firmware for the Starview 1, as I have said, you have got the correct Firmware installed okay. As regards the Cho**s provider issue, all you should need to do is Menu - 1570 to enter the Cas System Menu and press Set Default Key and exit out to TV, (That is if you wish to try the setup at your friends) when you go back in it should have been restored. The essential point that you need to check, (And I Know It Sounds Silly) is that you do have a LIVE cable feed, and that you do have that feed plugged into the Cable Input Socket, and make sure that you do a Factory Reset before doing another Automatic Scan like so >>>>>
Turn on the box, press menu go down to Factory settings OK and enter pin Ok to confirm.
Accept English OK and go to installation OK.
Select correct provider i.e. NTL, C/W or TW.
Then automatic scan
Once the channels are found, exit back to the Main Menu screen
Enter 1570 via the keypad.
Go down to the bottom option and turn EMU to ON.
Now exit 3 times and go to S*y Sports and let it update.

Hi malci, I only mentioned Ireland as I had a nag in the back of the head about a UK fix and just wanted to check. You've saved me the trouble.
Cheers
I also mentioned the connections as a lot of ppl do get it wrong without realising.

The Box T?
There are currently 5 SV boxes out ATM SV1, SV2(The Box), SV3 (The Box Super), SV4 (The Box Super USB) and SV5 (The Box PVR).
OK found The Box -T in Eamos I stand corrected. !st are you sure you have the correct comm port selected in the uploder?

You have downloaded the correct loader and firmware from eamo's? Sometimes you can get a corrupt download, try deleting them and downloading again.
I assume you have all the correct cables if you have been doing other boxes.
I have never done a box t but i believe they are very similar to the original starviews.

Still at a friends...with Ch**us. Went in did a set default key but Chor*s still not in the options (NTL, Ex Ch & W, OM, TW). Did a factory restting and still no chou*s. Will I just go home and try your option above or will I test it in a friends ?

They are supposed to be the same as the SV3 but are MMDS for Ireland only so as I'm UK based I'm at a loss but it may be that checking the docs for SV3 you may get an answer unless someone who has or knows more about them comes on.
You may get a quicker answer here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/619549

Yep, Take it home, I have just checked the SV1 and Ch*r*s has gone awol for some strange reason, but it is still appearing on the SV2, can't explain it - so best to do it at home okay.

malci, It's a The Box-T MMDS I know nothing about it as it's Ireland only but having read only one thread about it I can see a problem that I certainly can't solve. I didn't know the boxes existed!
Learning curve.
I think this is one for either sc0user or fergusb(if he wishes)

FAO pippincp or to anyone else that might be able to help.
Hi, I've posted a request for help twice on here but never got a reaction. Maybe it's because no-one has a way of offering me help,maybe it's because my box is k*ac*ered lol or maybe it just went un-noticed, but anyway, I'll try again with a re-post of my original request concerning my dead Starview PVR (later to be renamed theBox PVR)
If anyone knows where the electronics wizards are in the NW of England (preferably Liverpool/Manchester) please let me know.
Thanks
Woody
REPOST from 21/12/2008 -
Hi guys, new guy here hoping to find an electronics wizard.
My StarviewPVR (twin tuner) has stopped working properly and just shows "On" but the remote won't make it do anything. Another thread somewhere else pointed to component failure with some Caps in the PSU, well Maplin supplied replacements but no change. Next it was suggested that the regulator on the main board had gone, and it turned out that it had, changed it, and it promptly blew again. So have changed it for a higher spec regulator but it just gets very hot so I switch off. I know this will mean that there is another component or 2 or more gone on the main board but with SMD components it is impossible for me to identify which ones.
It is definitely the main board because if I disconnect it, then the hard drive spins up which it doesn't do otherwise.
Does anyone know of any "expertise" on this subject in the Liverpool area I can call upon to assist ?
Cheers and Happy Crimbo
Woody
(Incidentally, all this went on before any code changes so it isn't down to that aspect of working.

Sorry woody, when it comes to components I can't help, I only try to help with firmware.
Why didn't you take it back to the vendor when you first had a problem?

Ok pippin, thanks for the reply and I understand where you're coming from. I can manage the s/w issues perfectly too lol, but the hardware and it's SMD devices has done my head in :(
Reason it never went back is that it was bought 2nd hand from e*ay and worked perfectly for 6 months until I "cooked" it in a badly vented tv/hifi cabinet........oh well....... I guess they are only low budget gadgets and not high spec, what else could I have expected from Korea lol. My DBox was fine in the same space, and that is much bigger but I suppose the extra heat from the hard drive didn't help. It is just the frustration now that is bugging me, I'm sure someone somewhere locally has some SMD test gear / knowledge, I just need to find them and try not to bug them lol
Cheers for now
