no nowt about them, but can you go to a secret menu and is the emu key turned on?

Go to parental control in receiver menu

press ( i or info button) + (2007)

key and emu buttons should now be visible
switch key emu to on position
go to scrambled channel and wait for update .

cheers for any help...

They do support it still but not in the way they used to.

Hello,
New to this forum and I also was a member of that other forum. How can you say it still does support them if they dont even have a cable section, never mind a starview or starview pvr section. I was disappointed when they stopped support without warning. I was led to believe that they were the ones writing the code for the pvr, and only them. So now we are all up the creek with a box that cost a lot more money at the time and never fulfilled it s job description of being a pvr. ... that works..... all the time.

Phew....

Had to get that off my chest.

BTW.
Great forum
