    Friend of yours?
    Whats the point posting 'hovno' like that what a sad sac!

    Yeah you need to go here:

    http://www.4shared.com/dir/3042613/f6e3421c/sharing.html

    Download the right firmware and apply it to your box - I know personally the Starview 4 I had wouldnt work no matter how many times i factory reset and scanned, plugged cables, removed splitters etc - I had version 1.07 of the firmware and as soon as I put on the latest 1.12 all was back and working.

    I too pay for my subscription with n** and would never pay extra as i dont watch sport and half of the channels just show repeats - Nat geo and History is all its good for.

    Not for long though I surmise as N3 will be along soon and then its time to buy a dreambox 500 and tuner module for cs.

    Once you have downloaded your firmware just stick it on a freshly formatted usb stick (formatted fat not ntfs or it wont work) or you can use your pc to upload the firmware to your box with a null serial cable attached to one of your pc's serial ports - its a pain in the bum if you dont get your cable correct , dont have a serial port, wrong settings in hyperterminal etc.

    You need to access the usb menu and select the bin file and restore it. Box will reboot and you should scan and enable the key through the secret menu.

    Use the USB method if you can and dont fiddle with anything while you do it, pull power plugs out etc as corrupting the upload will require you to open up the box and do some serious soldering if you want to use your box for anything more than keeping the kitchen door open!

    Search the forum - there are instructions somewhere to show you in detail what to do if thats not enough - Look for posts by Scouser he seems to be the Guru of all things Dvb.

    Good luck!

    Mmmm - Never had an sv3 myself - Just trying to help the guy!
    I believe i provided both methods as I wasnt sure whether the sv3 had a usb port.
