starview 1 firmware september 2009

hi, hope somebody can help. im wondering if there is a firmware for starview 1? im aware that all the premium channells such as the sports and movies ect cant be got anymore but id be happy just to get my normal channels succh as rte 2,channel 4 ect.. im on ntl in ireland but the picture quality is just desperate via the ntl cable alone in the back of the tv which is why im hoping just to get the normal channels back via the starview 1 box. iv read forums inside out and have tried but goin off my head!

 

no the only firmware was released years ago,all you can do is try a factory reset,auto scan your provider and emu to on,dont know what is left on n1 if any.

 

thanks for the reply, is their software for any of the other starview boxs to just receive the normal channels?

 

only the sv4 usb got an update.

 

run the ntl in to the starview box using the coaxial cable and run a cable from the starview to coaxial socket on the tv - get rid of the scart cable and leave the starview plugged in.

I think that should give you better picture than runnubg the ntl directly to the tv

 

if you just want the basic channels why don't you just subscribe to the basic digital service.

basic digital is actually cheaper then analogue and you get to use the analogue too if you still need it, so basically they are giving you a free digibox and lowering the monthly cost.

Digital value (any live cable line includes analogue) = 20 euros
Analogue on its own = 24.50

 

and thats the bottom line cos stone cold said so,lol
but yes they are doing digital for less now actually if you pay 24-25
you get around lets say 70 extra channels not exact
also if you do decide to go digital while you are waiting for your box as said above connect your starview through your cable and then get a male to female coaxal lead and put that from your box to tv

 

new to this if i went to digital pack can i still use doggy box

 

i got sv 1
keep going on off it self
all channel working
work for few min than gose of and on
some time freeze
on and off from switch at the back
please healp

 

3r1c can you get digital tv and still watch your SV4 box plus can you still run your pipe around the house with digital.

 

internal caps in box leaking or domed,2 of them need to be replaced.

 

yes but your doggy box will still only get what channels you already have on it, if you have any,some or all.
also if you have all channels why go digital when you are already getting it through your box!

 

Subscribing to digital has no effect on dodgy boxes.
Your dodgy box will work the same as it did before.

 

they seem to be scrambling the boxes again is there a new firmware on its way to us????? checked 4shared but still 08 firmware they seem to do this every 6-8 months.

 

support for the SV1 has stopped a long time ago, so I really doubt a fix will be coming if the SV1 needs it

 

that would be a shame cus my box has really served me well, oh well looks like i might have to invest in a eurovox or dreambox they seem the way to go am I right?

 

Hi sorry if this has been asked before,but I have basic analogue ntl in my house with a splitter in my attic sending it into various rooms.If I get the basic digital pack for my main room of my house will the other rooms still be able to get the analogue channels?

 

I could be and possibly am wrong - but with sky the digital box was what "unscrambled" the channel, therefore you could look at the same channel ONLY in all the rooms. I think NTL will do the same??
