starview 6 with no display/ signal to tv

Morning,

Ok, sorry i didn't update, went to bed. managed to get a scan and picked up the channels. However, I was faced with the same issue. no IP address showing, said connecting to ustream, but never actually did, and obviously still no unscram images. Do you think I may have a bad box?

its not that you have a bad box
it has happened to others, where neighbours who have the same setup cable/broadband/router
and it has worked for 1 and not the other??

 

I see, i noticed your previous link to this problem, is there a cure at present?

 

do you think the guinness file may do the trick or is it the broadband issue you mentioned?

 

more than likely it could be down to your broadband, i have not seen a fix for this, though some got it working after a while of trying, but said the done nothing different to get it working!!!!
but what harm can it do, try try
but remember do not put the usb stick in or out without box been turned off
also do a factory reset everytime after you put new firmware on box then scan once channels are in then connect b.band

and you are positive your area is on nag.3!

 

yes, my superbox died in may.
thanks Hooter

 

what would be the outcome if i manually entered an ip address? my friend up the road has exactly the same set up, what this work? is it worth a try?

 

you could try but i doubt it will make any difference
also make sure you dont put the exact same no in the box as your comp
eg: comp ip 65.165.4.12
cablebox ip 65.165.4.10
otherwise 1 wont work if both are the same no at the end

same rules apply for x.box, ps.3, ect......

 

i am getting fta channels, would that happen without the ustream connection?

 

yes
also what is your definition of fta
as you should only get the 5 or so channels what you would get on your tv
though though im just 90% sure about this

 

i have been looking at my mates box set up, he has a login ID, at what point does this occur? when f/w is loaded?

 

login id!!
dont get what you mean
do you mean his ip address

 

the screen that shows the ustre option. 2nd field down shows login id, mine has never been populated.

 

Hello Hooter,

After trying a 3rd different router I have my ip address fields etc full. for peoples knowledge, the 1st was a sly router, the second a belkin & the successful one was a bt 2wire that i borrowed from work.

i still can not connect to ustream. it says connecting but as yet never has. is a server down or am i missing a trick?

regards

stu

 

Internet speed has been my issue.

my provider is sly. vmedi is the one to have.
i wish i had known from the start, i have spent 3 weeks messing about.

i hope this information helps.
