Default [urgent] starview 4 usb update for uk & ireland

Hi Folks - Hope All Is Well.

It Has Recently Come To Our Attention That A Few Of You Have Recently Been Experiencing What Seems To Be Power Supply Related Issues With The Starview 4 USB Receiver. This Infact Is Actually A Software Related Issue & Is NOT Due To A Premature Hardware Failure Or A Premature Power Supply Failure.

As A Precaution, We Are Requesting That All UK & EIRE Owners Of The Starview 4 USB Receiver Upgrade To the Latest Software Version With Immediate Effect To Prevent Any Issues.

This Is In Your Own Interest

The Software Must Be Copied To A Good Quality USB Memory Stick & Can Be Installed By Pressing A Few Buttons On The Remote Control.


Please Do Use A Good Quality USB Memory Stick, To Prevent Any Firmware Corruption On The Receiver. This Will Prevent The 8882 Error From Being Displayed On Receivers Front Display Panel.

Firstly Download The V1.12 Software From This Link:

http://www.*******.com/file/124866559/31ec3126/TheboxSuperUSB_V112.html
Select The Blue Coloured "Download Now" Button
Replace The ******* With "4 shared" Without The Space In The Middle.



Then Copy The Downloaded File "TheboxSuperUSB_V1.12.BIN" To A Good Quality USB Memory Stick & Insert It Into The USB Port On The Back Of The Receiver.

Remember That The Mains Power Must Not Be Interupted When The Firmware Is Being Installed By The Receiver.


The Best Way To Do This Is By Connecting The USB Memory Stick To The Back Of The Receiver, And Sit Back Down As If You Are Watching The TV. This May Sound Silly, But It Ensures That The Power Will Not Be Interupted.



Once The USB Memory Stick Has Been Inserted Into The Back Of The Receiver & The Starview 4 USB Receiver Is Powered On, Follow The Steps Below.



1. PRESS THE MENU BUTTON ON THE REMOTE CONTROL


2. SCROLL DOWN TO "USB" & THEN PRESS "OK" ON THE REMOTE CONTROL

3. SELECT & HIGHLIGHT THE FILE NAMED TheboxSuperUSB_V1.12.BIN & THEN PRESS "OK" ON THE REMOTE CONTROL

4. YOU WILL SEE A "CONFIRM DATA RESTORE" BOX APPEAR ON THE SCREEN

5. SELECT & HIGHLIGHT "YES" & THEN PRESS "OK" ON THE REMOTE CONTROL

6. THE RECEIVER WILL NOW START DOWNLOADING THE FIRMWARE ON TO THE RECEIVER & WILL AUTOMATICALLY REBOOT ONCE COMPLETED.

7. YOU MAY NEED TO RESCAN YOUR RECEIVERS IF THE CHANNELS HAVE BEEN DELETED.

Once These Steps Have Been Followed & Actioned, Your Starview 4 USB Receiver Will Have The Latest Software Installed.

supposedly the 1.1 firmware had issues.If people are having PSU problems with UK firmware,I would just update it.Irish viewers have no choice

Hi Guys

This update is for both UK & Ireland.

It is important to upgrade to the latest software version to prevent any future power based issues. if anything, it will prolong the life of your Starview 4 USB receiver. So for this reason alone, i personally recommend you to upgrade to the v1.12 firmware version.

Cheers

Zemme

Closed source receivers are very fast and easy to do. All you need for this one is a good USB stick with the 1.2 firmware on it
