Starview Combo signal problems

If broadband is from cable provider, connect that cable into box(cable in) & scan for channels. If scan works Split that cable to supply B/B modem & box

 

Thanks for your help and info, did what you suggested, put input cable direct into stb and from there to bb. Now seems to be working. Cheers

 

Thank god for that. If you had sent me or Mickah a PM giving details from the start this could
have been sorted 3 days ago. There are many old cable points in peoples houses that are no
longer being paid for.Provs don't bother calling round disconnecting these, but if they are
called out to fix a problem they will cut off any cables that are not being paid for. Me and
Mickah did suggest in earlier reply's that cable may have been cut off

 

glads yer back working, just bear in mind, that your box is near 12 months old, so this will be shut off soon, so its either a new box or a kryptview for the cable, the SV lan combo are not made anymore, so bear that in mins if this is the box ya want

 

Really sorry for the confusion, (don't know what you meant by a PM) anyway your help was greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys.

Am only missing a few now, but I got the + 1 Hour on them so no worries.
with the starview box can you plug more than one thing in the USB via a hub? I`ve got a wireless plugged in but the box won`t recognise the flash drive I plug in to the hub.
Are you only allowed one?

 

You need to give more detail. Firstly is your box Combo+LAN. If so do you have Internet
connected to LAN-port or USB-port on box. What items are you connecting that you need a hub.
Check flash is formatted to FAT-32. Try USB-stick direct to box without hub & see will it work. Your internet is supposed to connect to LAN-port & USB-stick to USB-port so you should
not need hub. If you are connecting wireless dongle to USB-port for internet connection you
could get a LAN-USB adaptor to connect dongle & use flash drive in USB-port.
Regarding your channels, Fac-reset & rescan using 6952. If you are missing channels try 6887
What signal levels show on your box

 

At the mo, my SV 7 is connected to the net via a wireless bridge, no ethernet cable being used. I know the FD works on the box cos I gave my sister one to use, its ok. I`ll grab a LAN-USB adaptor and let you know! Everytin else I`ll check this week when I get chance.

 

Just checked. the wireless bridge has two connections, one USB the other connects via an adaptor to RS 232 socket (PC connection and SW upgrade)do I need to have both in????

Let me verify a few things things. I thought you had Combo+LAN box because this is a HD-Combo
thread you are posting in. The box you have is actually SV7. You are connecting wireless bridge
to box USB-port. Try wireless bridge in adaptor to rs232 on box. If it works box USB-port will
be free for flash drive

“We urge anyone with information about people supplying or using illicit equipment to receive Virgin Media TV channels to continue to call our confidential hotline on 0800 096 7800.”

A 47-year-old man, a 33-year-old man and a 60-year-old man were arrested. Following interview they were all charged with conspiracy to defraud.
