Trying to source Box Super USB motherboards - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Had a look at a Box Super and a Box Super USB and the board connectors and dimensions are almost identical in each. The USB port will stick out where the serial connector was.
Does anyone know where I might source Box Super USB motherboards. The apparent model is: GCR500CX - but g00gle comes up with nothing. Any ideas anyone?

Are you saying that you have a missing USb port? If so, I suppose you can try and get a USB port and solder it on. Also you cant just buy the Starview 4 motherboard, but you have to buy the whole unit. A shame really. And beware who you buy your receiver from as there are many cloners out there

Thanks for the reply. No, Starview 3 no longer works in Ireland while the starview 4 does. Instead of everyone having to bin their starview 3 and then buy a starview 4, I was hoping that I might be able to source the supplier of the motherboards out of the starview 4 and just swap it into the starview 3s.
