can anyone please help, ive got no channel info on any channel, ive tried a factory reset and scan and its still the same, would a re flash solve it, thanks

did you select the correct cable provider before you scanned

bigfella · 26-12-08, 05:09 PM

yeah the channel information seems to be a little hit and miss..buts that s a small price to pay......have you tried setting the right time and date especially after a factory rest...sometimes this helps.... hope this helps

sorry climber misread your post (do as col123456 says)

climber · 26-12-08, 11:13 PM

lee-ds · 26-12-08, 11:16 PM

Do you mean on the EPG or on the actual INFO button?

climber · 26-12-08, 11:47 PM

sorry yes the epg

Tbh, starviews are not the best stb to have when it comes to the EPG.
If you've done a reset factory settings and done a re-scan and it's still no good, you could try re-flashing (don't think this will probably help though, which version of fw do you have btw and what box?)

45p for a tv guide magazine is a very small price to pay for a weeks worth of "EPG" even though it's not electronic lmao, imho.
