Ive had my starview box for approx 18months now. Since Friday i seem to have lost all my sky channels, when i go to a channel it says data being updated, it seems to freeze on this. It starts on 0% then keeps updating upto 130% then the channel info comes up but it then starts to update again. I've tryed doing an auto channel reset but the same thing keeps happening. I'm at a total loose end!! I dont have the box, instructions or pin codes as it was my ex that bought it and we have no contact now.
Can anyone help me please? its driving me crazy!!

Linzie... try it on the discovery channel or sky movies... if it doesnt click in then turn box off for a minute or two then back on .. it might click in this way!!

I've just switched it to a sky movies channel- the programme came on, then it froze and went to bad or scrambled channel. i changed the channel down 1 then back to the sky movies and its back to the data being updated.

firmware is what the box runs on. Once the new firmware comes out for starview 1 (which is the one you have) you will be able to update it and the box should run as before.

We have to sweet talk some of the guru's out there to sort one out for us.
Unfortunatly for me i think there all blokes so i haven't got those assets.
Someone will put it on here once/if its done.
