Are you sure you need digital? is that just with the starview 4 or something?
I know a good few lads have analogue with other boxes and it works fine...
Well give it a go and see how you get on, do a Factory re-set and then installation, choose your provider CH***S N*L or whatever, and automatic scan. That way you will soon know, best of luck anyway.
I've done all that and it doesn't work. Would be strangely a relief to find out for definite if the analogue is my problem, as I'm sick to death of the thing at this stage. At least I could cut my losses and try and sell on the box.
Definitely know of someone with a eurovox and a starview 3 working it off an analogue feed though so not sure why the starview 4 would be different.
Does anyone know for definite?

Agree with what you say, if the EV and SV3 work then the SV4 should!!!!!! but I am sure that scOuser will eventually give you a definative answer when he see's your post.

If you have analogue it wont work, you need digital in your area.

Thanks noely, that's a couple of days of my life wasted anyway!Looks like I got bad info.
Seems to make sense that you'd need digital, but I was told by two friends that their boxes (one a eurovox, one either a starview 3 or 4 he's not sure) work perfectly despite only having an analogue feed coming into their house.
One guy cancelled his digital once he got the box and just lets the analogue feed come in now.
Do you just need the digital to be in your area or do you need to actually have N** digital coming into your house before using your box?

Hi shandon, as malci said, you`re better off waiting till sc0user, or fergus are around for a definite answer.
If you have a live (cable) feed in your house & digital in your area it should work. Wait till the lads are around & you`ll be sorted :)

can you tell me what area you are in
if you are on CH**** you need to find out exactly what box your mates have
is it possible that the feed you have coming in is connected to a mast somewhere
if so there boxes are MMDS ones

If you are capable of getting digital in your area but only subscribe to analogue then the feed you get in will carry both analogue and digital signals. In which case you need only subscribe to analogue and still use your dodgy box to get the digital.
However for some reason in dublin U*C at the moment it is cheaper to subscribe to the basic digital package than for analogue alone. This is worth doing since they will have to ensure your current coax is good enough for digital. And you have a second digi box for another room, or you can use it to check your feed if your dodgy box goes down. i.e. plug it in and see if it a software issue or C/C issue.
I updated a starview "the box" today and I could not get it to autoupdate, tried the BBC1 & discovery instructions. Just put the keys in manually in the end.

Thanks for all the replies. I got my box working in the end. Still don't really know what I was doing wrong but at least that answers definitively whether the boxes work when there's only an analogue feed coming into the house..

Glad you got sorted shandon, but not to sure as to the analogue only question, it would appear from your earlier posting that you do possibly have digital, unless I am reading the situ. wrong, but if it's working for you then great.

You need to download the latest firmware from eamo's library, take a look in noelyf's signature above this. You also need a Null Modem cable, and preferable, if it is your first time flashing a box, a pc with XP on it.
