A lot of box suppliers include an rs232 cable, which will not work. The 2 cables look the same, have the same 9-pin ends on them, but they are wired differently internally. This confusion over rs232 & null modem has been going on for a long time.

i've just read up on those 2 cables and the wires on the null cable are reversed.

No not really, and it should be saying RF Channel 38 just leave it at that.

Hi i also have starview (genuine) with a similar problem. It started freezing every so often and now it cuts out on startup. Or within a few seconds of the channel coming on. I've never updated the software or firmware and was wondering if anyone could help. Could this be a software problem or is it faulty hardware?

Thanks.

If its a starview 1,

Flash it with the crypstar V1.4- Core 2.57 bin & see if that helps.

You`ll find it in the starview folder in eamo`s library under my sig.
All updating info, cables etc are in the second link under my sig.
