Why will it just not work?? Starview HD!

[kavster]

Hello peeps,

First post so bare with me.

I have this morning received my Starview HD in a love shiny box. Having previous been the owner of a Starview 4 I thought the picture quality was pants hence purchase this beast.

Having firstly hooked everything up I could see the FTV channels fine and it picked up every channel from virgins network.

However, I put on the grooverider HD Combo 1214 LAN and now no channels will show on a channel search - bar one, a BBC channel showing eastenders!

Any ideas from you experienced people out there?

have you applied the carling combo firmware and connected it to your internet?

I'm not quite sure where to begin with that. Can you direct me to where and what I do? I'm a noobie at this sort of thing...

Also do I just plug the box straight into the router?

go to the downloads section and find the carling combo software apply to the box.

Connect the box to your internet(Modem or Router) via an ethernet port if you are using a bridge you will need to set this up from your computer first. Once you have all your connections sorted turn the box on and follow the details below:
Go to
Accessory
Networks
Press ok
Ip set up
Press ok, once into the ip set up menu go to the network setting and scroll to the right until you are at manual then back to auto if your internet connection or router is configured correctly then all the details will come up automatically if doesnt then exit then go back in and scroll right and left
Now go on to installation
Cable Auto Search
Press ok
Now choose your area, If you are in NTL is is 6887 and TW is 6952 or press auto on the symbol rate and press search.
This should find all the channels
Now once scanned go to menu
Type in 8989 you wont see the number but when you go into accessory you will see an aditional option key edit if dont show up go to menu and type in 8989 again.
Accessory
Network
CS Net
Change the type to Ustream and make sure the connection status is on
Go on to any channels and the channels should come up

pm sent of where the firmware is. you connect an ethernet cable from your router to your box. you need the groverider firmware then add the carling combo firmware then follow the instructions provided

You absolute diamond... i will try this after work tomorrow. thanks so much.

that link in the PM came through as only stars?!

topshooter... ive done as youve said but still only 2 channels called channel 10 and 11. Do you think running and older firmware then putting on grooverider may help? i know the signal is fine as my other starview 4 works perfect through the same cable.

Hmmm strange....

[topshoter187]

yes load the older firmware groverider and try the guiness firmware the latest one that should work and make sure you are putting the ustream on.

Cheers pal... only probs now is i can not downgrade from the carling combo firmware!!

With the raids on Starview server in Ireland and the hurried disassembly of the UK server I fear starviews are about to become doorstops for the foreseeable future !
