Starview 2 cloned and Starview 6 will they still work

[slick00]

Hi

I have both these boxes but I have not used them since last year.

Can some one please tell me if I can upgrade the firmware for them to still work like they did previously. I have heard this can be done with the Starview 6 after trawling through threads all over but I have yet to find a thread to tell me how.

Can someone please help.

thank you

You can try these 2 ways.

First Either

FACTORY DEFAULT THEN SCAN
To active server, when you watch channel, press active key.
Active key is 1819
Then you can see connect to server or not in information bar
Press disable key(2819) to disable service.

or

From the main menu go to Utility and then press the right arrow button and select usb
from the right hand side, you will see the Carling/Guinness file press ok on it and make sure to select SW+ALL DATA UPDATE..

The machine will update and restart itself (Don't pull your memory stick out until the machine has fully started up and you can access menu again)
you now need to scan your channels, No spliters on your incoming cable when doing your scan and dont connect modem/router untill scan completed
Now go to installation press the right arrow button again and go down to AUTO CABLE SEARCH
all you need to change here is the symbol rate.
The symbol rate determines your area for example N*l is 6887, the other numbers are 6952 for Telepe** and EXc&w.
When you have selected your area go to start scan.

once the scan has finished go to menu then highlight accessory and on the remote press the numbers "8989"
you will then see "Key edit" appear on the right hand side, go to it and press ok and just check that auto update is on if its off just turn it on.

Then go to to your channels by exiting the menu and pressing ok..
Select a non FTA channel and leave it until a picture appears
PLEASE NOTE IT CAN TAKE UPTO 5 MINUTES TO UPDATE SO BE PATIENT

Next two lines skip for starview 7
Now go to menu then highlight accessory and on the remote press the numbers "8989"

you will then see "K*yedit" appear on the right hand side, go to it and press ok and just check that auto update is on if its off just turn it on.


To use with LAN connection.

Menu - Option -networks - net application - select type “Ustream(UK)

Now connect to your modem/router to receive all channels

If you have 16:9 TV please follow “ Option -> OSD Setup -> Screen Format
