Newbie Starview question.. - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hi to everyone!

Just got myself a starview 2 off of ebay. Followed the setup instructions and all seemed to work fine. I get sky sports, but I do not get any of the sky movies channels. Is there a reason for this? I am on V****n.

Also is there a way of easily sorting the channels out to get rid of all the rubbish?? Such as a program you can use via the null modem (RS232) port?

Thanks for your help.

Tom.

I have re - scanned the channels to my box, but still can't see sky movies. Anyone have an idea why this is??

Pretty please!

They have moved some channels around, if you dont find them under CH*** where *** indicates a number, you will have to do a factory reset and another autoscan. You will have to re sort your channels, but this method will find any missing channels.

Hi, Thanks for all your help.. But it seems like I had them all along.. Just did not realise it. I have nt been on Sky movies for a while and now they have changed their names, to sky action etc instead of just sky movies 1... etc..

So, I managed to find the channel sorting software for pc, and am now making sense of it all. Great!
