lol tell me about it. I am on API Ver 4.57e_E. Just checked. cant get it to update. think it might be a long night going through them all. Don't want to keep you, so this will be my last question. how long should I give each channel for the update before i give up and try another one?

cheers

Should be showing V4.57 in System Information, that's the latest for Starview 2 The Box as regards the AU. 22 DEC 2008.

EDIT:-
See you have the latest, it is a pain finding the best channel to AU on, have to go through them one by one, Discovery channels even the God channel I am afraid.

Sorry nobby3ie - as you can see I did edit the post, was in between threads, as said it will update but you need a strong signal Channel, but why not try Setting The Default Key, it might give it a kickstart.

Hi,

In Dublin 2/6 region

Came home this evening and my channels were all scrambled or bad channel. I did a factory reset, probably too soon, and now I cant find any channels. I recently upgraded to the 4.57 firmware and everything was fine, until now. When the box is searching frequencies the orange bar appears and say its "ok", however no channels appear. It is also only searched 24 frequencies. It used to search 37 if I'm right.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong.? I thought I pretty handy at this lark, but I'm afraid I'm stumped again!


My System info is

The Box

API Ver 450e_E
Boot Ver 7.0
5 july 2007

Any help woulf be appreciated.

Cheers
there is propably a problem in your area,have you checked your basic channel's with the coaxil plugged into your tv?
Hi,

Thanks for getting back so quick. I'm watching basic channel tv as we speak. There doesn't seem to be a problem.
I had a lot of problems.
Solution: Flash with latest firmware: 8.04
Try searching under 'CHORUS' if NTL not working.
Then usual: Auto scan, EMU on etc ...
Let us know.
Joe.

Hi there,

Sorry about this, everytime i feel like i understand it, it goes.

Last night my Starview 2 box went. No channels, and when i went to s*y of S*y Sports 2 to allow it to update, it would run up past 100%, then 110% and so on. No channels.

I did a factory reset but no good. Now it just says scrambled or bad channels.

Worse again, it now says

Ver 4.54_E
Boot Ver 7.0
15th Oct 2007

I had it flashed by a friend after christmas to get it going again after it did the same thing (i think everyone got cut off before christmas).

Couple of things;

Do i need to get that flash done again ? (Does a factory reset delete the flashed information).

Can it be done without a cable, as my computer won't recognise my box when i connect it?

Help!

Factory reset does not delete the Firmware, and yes you need a NULL MODEM lead to flash the box, and the version of Firmware that your Friend put on was not the updated version, it is 4.57 you want on The Box, and you will find it in Eamo's FTA Library.

Thanks mate,

I bought a cable which i believe is a null modem cable....it fits the back of the box and also the side of my laptop.

However, the computer doesn't seem to recognise the box and i can't get it to.

Any thoughts on that....if i could get it to "see" the ox, i could do the rest

Thanks again...

Flipper, I had the same problem at first. You need to allocate a serial port, usually COM 1. You can find out how to do it here on Celtics third post.

Thanks for that,

I've connected my box to the computer by the null modem cable, but an icon for the box dosen't appear anywhere on the screen. I'll assume thats normal.

I set the "communications port" to Com 1. downloaded the firmware for my box (The Box 2) and extracted the BIN file to the desktop.

I then opened the loader that came with firmware i downloaded, set the serial port to Com 1 and tried to download the Bin File from the desktop.

Nothing happens and then it says "Flash update fail"

Help anyone?

Thanks

you will have to get a nul modem to usb converter for it to work on a laptop, and change the port to port one.however it will work on a pc tower no problem.

Hi all,

I have a universal remote control (from Lidl) and cannot get it working on The Box Super. It is possible at all ? Has anyone had similar experience?

Also wondering how I might record programmes from The Box on my VCR ?
Its currently connected directly into TV using ariel and scart leads.
All tips welcome.

if your in Ireland you won't get it back as a lot of channels have disappeared due to nagra 3,expect all the channels to follow suit very shortly.
