i think some of your question has been answered

If you had V3.00 running for a long time then you have a genuine box.

firmware for the starview2 (the box) is 454e-e
use the gtrom loader to flash...gtrom version 4.03
use a null moden cable also known as a rs232 cable to connect the box to your pc.... job done
