starview

need help

starview box just went dead anywhere in Dublin that they can be repired?

 

Did you update your box ?

I will see if I can get someone to help

 

updated last week worked for the week and just died

 

Have you a clone or genuine and what firmware did you install

 

It is a clone. genuine starviews or 'the box ' would not die if firmware was put on them !.
Im afraid the upgrade u put on has killed your box!
but it can be fixed (jtaged). so get onto celtic71 about fixing it ....

 

Forgive ignorance how would i know the difference between a clone and an original?all I know about the upgrade that it was firmware 4!
does that sound right.

 

Go to the link at the end of my post marked Starview Info (Dooby2oon), this will show you wheter you have a clone or genuine box.

 

V4 is for genuines , therefore if you put this on a clone it would kill it

Count the vents on top , clone = 18x7 and genuine is 25x7

Ello Celt oh better mention Starview as we are not supposed to be off topic so Starview

 

I am very surprised it has gone this long without a code change

 

Only problem was code changes were not just to kill off the boxes. They were actually caused by upgrade changes as well. So I would say it will happen on and off for a while, just not as often.

UP*, (N** & C*****), are introducing a new PVR box something similar to Sly Plus boxes, and therefore the cabling had to be updated in most areas.

 

I did notice a new cable went up in my area about 3 weeks ago

 

afraid I am in possision of a clone can I get it repaired?

 

Is there green lights flashing on the front display or is it totally dead?

 

no sign of life completely dead

 

You need it jtagged to bring it back to life send a pm to Fergusrb, he is in Kildare and doing jtags, tell him I sent you.

 

Thanks for the help

 

No problem ferg will sort it for you
