Someone Please help before I throw a Rope Up!

[Rama Zapalla]

Hello everyone

Please help before I throw a rope up!

I know this is st*rv*ew related but its e*rov*x also. Please bare with me

I am in northern ireland and have a st*rvi*w the box super. I had all the channels yesterday except for espn which i lost in the last week.

I tried to do an automatic scan to see if I could get it and I think somehow I reset the box and now I can get nothing?

Whats going on? Have I erased the firmware and if so what one do I now need? I have a CDF I saved from a e*ro*ox so can I simply upload that to the st*rvi*w?

Someone please help. I have used the search function for this kind of thing but to no avail.

I have reloaded the 6.00e firmware dated 4 Feb 2008 but still not getting channels in an automatic scan. This was the firmware lincsat said to use in the sticky section?

When I use the firmware loader to download the CDF saved from my e*ro*ox it says its looking for a .bin file and thats not what the saved CDF is?

Feck im useless, I know! Please help someone. Cheers

Sounds like you could be scanning on the wrong symbol rate. I know hardly anything about Starview boxes but I'm sure someone who is wiser than me could help better. Although if your box needs a *.bin file, then a *.cdf is going to be no use whatsoever. Don't you need to load it onto your box with a USB?

Try doing an automatic scan on BOTH symbol rates and see what happens.

A friend of mine has a Starview and she has to switch her emulatioon on every time she re-scans. Have you done that through the parental control menu?

Have a look here, third post down.

Hope you get it sorted, although with time running out it may be a fruitless task.



Just noticed you asked the same question in the Starview section. Dude, use one or the other, the boards are full enough as it is.

Cheers mate for helping me out and I apologise for posting in both threads. I wont do this again. Just anxious to get this sorted out.

Thanks again

Hello again mate

I have tried both symbol rates although I am definitely 6887.

my box is a st*rview 3 I think. The one with a usb is st*rview 4.

I wonder if anyone has a cdf for northern ireland for the starview

Have a look here, post number 1154.

Download the file, change the extension to .cdf and you should be good to go.

Cheers again pal

I have a CDF I saved of my E*rovox although it doesnt work when trying to load it onto the St*rview. The Loader Firmware for the St*rview asks for a .bin file? I dont know what this means?

[Phil3819]

Have a look in here for the Starview loader. I'm sure, having done a bit of reading, that's what you need to load your files.

Cheers Phil. Very much appreciated mate
