Starview Expert-**no email posting or BANNED**

Hi Guys, i basically started this thread and have been dealing with starview boxes for a long time my supplier is the original source for starview boxes, software V260 is the new official software, it is however killing clone boxes as the software was made for the original boxes its like putting petrol in a diesel or diesel in a petrol car it aint going to work and in effect damage your motor.

If you people continue to buy off rogue traders from ebay or ad papers etc then thats up to you i dont mind helping people who PM me but please ensure that i will not be held responsible if the software or advice i give kills your box as i only work with original boxes. Regards. Tommy

 

its the shits that people who bought fake boxes in good faith , thinking nothing ov it have to suffer , most didnt even know fake even were out there

starview wont be getting any more of my money fake or not ,
suport should be for all, let starview sort out the problem cos this will afect they sale as well because people are afraid to spend money in the fear it may be a fake and recieve no suport in the future.

SEE YA I AM GOING BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DBOX2 STICK ALL THIS SHIT UP YA ARSES //// I UNSUBSCRIBE TO THIS CRAP AND BOLLACKS COS YOU ALL TALK fusking SHITE AND STICK THE fusking STARBOX UP YA TAIL PIPE BYE BYE

 

mate i do not sell boxes anymore ive none and im not buying anymore and for your info my boxes were original i only had 1 person that had a box go down and he got my last box.

 

I am trying to unscramble my starview box, I have downloaded the GTROM and starview 257 bin file, my com settings etc are correct but when I press download it stays on 0% and doesnt move. Does anyone know why this is? I dont have a program that recognises the BIN file is this what is going wrong

I have been trying this for so long, any hep greatly appreciated!!

 

YOU DONT NEED A PROGRAM TO REQU THE BIN FILE AS GTROM SHOLD READ IT

UNLESS YOUR TRYING TO USE A LAP TOP THEN THIS IS WHERE ITS A LITTLE TRICKY

 

do you have software on your box already? If so then all you have to do is scan the channels press menu enter 1570 turn EMU ON and sit back and let the channels update

 

a bit harsh tezzer but maybe u got a point! this has got way out of hand. i only started on here to help people out & try to find out the truth on the 260 mystery. i bet theres some one out there who knows the score laughing at all us! im leaving it there! if any one wants my help fine but i aint gettin involved in these childish arguments anymore!

 

The truth has been on here all along but many choose not to believe it and get all upset. Each to their own I suppose.

 

that emu doesnt work on my box so i dont no if i have software already on it version 2.58e im using a pc to try load bin file what do you think im doing wrong

 

this is my last post about it as well the damage is done.i wont be buying anymore starview boxes people want to waste their money its up to them....marky.

 

how can any starview user know the truth? only the manufacturers and firmware developers know that. they wont waste their time in here - too busy counting the coins

 

the firmware is no good for you m8,

you will have to put firmware 257ee on the receiver to turn the EMU on

do the following
you should have had a Null modem cable in the box of the reciever,


GTRom loader v4.00
serial port : com1
baud rate : 115200

STB Setting
STB Model (what ever it comes up with - LEAVE IT AS IT IS)
BIN File - STAR VIEW_26012007_257eE_api.bin (must have this on you computer somewhere find it)

FILE TYPE - App File Only

then click on DOWNLOAD

THEN WAIT TELL ITS FINISHED FLASHING , THE RECIEVER SHOULD TURN OFF & ON BY ITSELF

Then enjoy watching

 

I got no software or cables with the box so I bought a RS232 serial to usb cable and connected this to a (serial to serial cable)?? Is this the Null modem cable?

I dont have that BIN file can you tell me where I can download it please, I was trying with a different BIN File

Thank you

 

you can get the software from here

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/493446

you can use RS232 serial to usb cable too flash the receiver,
the com port might not be com1 , so you have to see which one it picks up, then follow the info i gave you

 

I found that file and downloaded it, all my settings are as you say, it is set to COM1 in my device manager also, it still does not move from 0% Are my cables wrong? What does a null modem cable look like and how does it connect. At the moment I have a cable which fits the back of the star view the other end is the same and is connected to the serial end of my RS232 cable which connects to my PC through USB.

Does this sound right to you?

 

you can buy these of ebay for about £3

make sure you have the connection on the back of your pc ,

as i now of a few people just use the usb to serial to flash there receiver

 

Hi there,

I am trying to set up a Starview box, but there are no scart leads available to it. The tv is about 12ft away from the box. Can I set it up using co axial cable instead? And if so, which connections do I use?

Thanks for any help received.

Come back Tezzer, a good guy.

 

YEH maybe a bit harsh
i am just fed up of all the different views on fake boxes , when in fact no one knows the truth yet
lets wait till they all go of like in jan 2007 and we will sort it out then
in the mean time stop the worrie and enjoy your starview and we can cross the bridge when we come to it
just buy the bigger boxes to be on the safe side from now on and if you have a "FAKE" just enjoy it

we are here to help people and some newbees are getting scared of with all this talk about dead boxes etc.
now lets just continue to help people on here get up and running

 

well said tezz,lets stop the mass panic
AND ENJOY

 

Just like to say thanks to everyone on this site. I didnt necessarily ask many questions but from browsing this thread, I found all the info I needed. Would have been completely lost without it. Am enjoying my 140 channels and shall be watching the playoffs tonight for nout - Lovely!!

Thanks again.
