Starview Patch for SkySports1 - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Found this on another forum, Follow the main Download links in the Private FTA section to find the file

Here's a simple file patcher for STARVIEW channel data files to get the full-screen image on ShySports1 instead of the ShyBet banner etc. Once new firmware has been released to fix the problem on a more permanent basis this patcher will no longer be required.

NOTE - THIS IS FOR ORIGINAL STARVIEW 1 BOXES ONLY. NOT FOR THEBOX NOR THE PVR!!!

This patch only works under the following conditions...

A. Original Starview1 boxes only, provided they're loaded with V2.54 to V2.59 firmware ONLY. V2.60 & later will not work.
B. Before applying the patch to your channel data file, ensure that SlySports1 is the first channel in your data file. You can sort this using the remote with the Starview box, or with the channel editor on your PC.

Instructions...
1. Download the patch software to your PC & extract the executable from the zip file.
2. Save the channel data file from your Starview1 box to your PC, with SS1 as channel 1 in your list as noted above.
3. Make a note of the current keys for your box (Menu/1570/N-vison), just in case the firmware in step 4 below doesn't auto-roll later. Be sure to note both sets of keys for your provider.
4. Re-flash your Starview1 box with any version of firmware between 2.54 & 2.59.
5. On your PC, run the StarviewPatch.exe file then click on the Browse button to find your channel data file to be patched.
6. When the file is loaded, the Patch button should be active. Click on the Patch button and save your patched data file.
7. Download the patched channel data file to your Starview1 box.
8. You may need to manually reset your keys that were noted in step 3 above. Do this under Menu/1570/N-vision.
9. Change to the SS1 channel & enjoy it in all its glory!

As always, you use this software at your own risk.

This might sound daft but how do you find out which version of starview or the box you have?
Isnt there a way of telling by the vents on the top or something?
This is what mine looks like, but is it the original version ? i have seen on a few of these forums people talking about copys etc.

Took TheBish a while on this one so big thanks. Please also note that by reverting firmware you will loose the ability to autoroll the keys on the next key change by the CC and will have to revert to manual key entry.

@sunnyrunny it works on all Starview 1s both clone and genuine as it isnt a firmware patch as such just a patch to allow the SVCE change the PID.

satsmo i am currently running version 4.0,if i reflash with version 2.59 will the patch work with my starview1 and is the version 2.59 still ok to use as in is there any problems with it apart from no autoroll,i remember putting version 4.00 on for a reason but i can't seem to remember why

satsmo · 03-03-08, 03:06 PM

Yes 2.59 is OK to use, but as said it may not autoroll, version 4.00 also had an aspect ratio fix. But this method is the only way of getting Sly Sports 1 as full screen again. It is only a work around until a permanent fix is made available.
