[interat]

Whats going on with the starview 6 LAN, please jump in with any comment, will it ever get fixed, i don't think so it been 6 weeks and more and still going off and on for hours, 100 missing stations, glitching banging, but no information from suppliers, other box lans are working perfect.

Can you just confirm you are going through a router for your internet connection, can you see it connected using the router admin page ?

[gsandhu]

yes i am going through a router for internet connection,using yellow colured cable, i am on virginmedia broadband, i can see it connected by the light flasing on the router no.2 . the router admin page i dont know how to do that.

Go into nework, the first option on the top change to auto and then apply, should work.

[thewizardofodds]

why dont people that NEED their boxes working try writing new firmware instead of just constantly asking for it.

Maybe because of two reasons. Firstly, they have paid for something and expect it to work. Secondly, the Starview software is closed source.

[gsandhu]

i have changed to auto and then apply, and i changed to ustream, still no scrambled chanells

[mark8393]

so alls working then?

[tubs]

a lot of people are having promblems with s6 its not as good as people first thought as sever keeps going down and you will not be able to get it back

[tony_i]

I'm a bit puzzled about the talk of the server going down all the time.

I've had mine a while now and though admittedly I don't watch a massive amount of telly I've had the server go once on me, for a couple of hours. It really doesn't seem that bad.

I previously had a SV4 and I know how useless the software was, and there are many problems with the SV6 software (the PVR function and the streaming from your pc doesn't work). I bought the SV6 out of desperation because there are only two choices for cable now and it was by far the cheapest. I've slagged starview off on this forum on plenty of occasions, often in the face of bullying by the starview mafia who seem to have evaporated over the last few months (if indeed they weren't all the same individual with a few aliases).

However, credit where it's due: in my experience the server is pretty good, and the box has been value for money. I wonder if a lot of people who go on forums to give their advice about the reliablity of the server have even been in the same room as a SV6. I certainly don't think a lot of them are even in the same country where these boxes operate.

Not aiming this at anyone in particular, but if you're going to give advice it should based on experience rather than internet rumour.

Right, I'm off to watch the uninterrupted cricket, courtesy of Mr Murdoch.

Well Said, I have noticed a lot of posts that contradict my own experience

[chuckles53]

I have the starview hd lan and would like to know when the server will be putting the sky hd channels back on or are they not bothered because of the sales of the starview 6. would be nice if they would put them back on as i am thinking of selling my box and going to the arnet hd box.

Well hack it then!

[satsmo]

Hack what?

[thewizardofodds]

Hack what?

the starview firmware

[satsmo]

That wont achieve anything as CS is only a workaround?

I know that but what I'm saying is if the sv cs server is down then they can hack the firmare then set it up for your own cs server instead of just waiting on the sv server getting fixed

[satsmo]

In that case get a Dreambox and do a lot of reading, why rely on a SV STB and wasting time and effort on looking at it's firmware?

I have a dreambox c+s .
Thats exactly what I'm saying too, why rely on SV server in first place and that if they are so woorried about not being able to use something they have paid dollar for and want it to work then instead of sitting on their but waiting on it coming back on whilst asking stupid questions on here asking when its going to be back on, they should try and hack the firmware allowing everyone to use their own server.
The reason they have bought these boxes in the first place is tat they dont want to do anything to get free TV , they just want 100% plug and play along with expecting people on forums to sort their problems out straight away.

Plus it wouldn't be wasting time messing with the firmware , especially if you crack it, its all experience and education.

[satsmo]

asking stupid questions on here asking when its going to be back on,

That's the nature of forums, people ask questions. There is never a stupid question, but I have seen some stupid answers.


they should try and hack the firmware allowing everyone to use their own server.

As said above why waste time trying to disassemble the SV firmware? There is nothing of use to take from the user bin file.


they just want 100% plug and play

They are willing to pay for a plug and play box, that is up to each individual, not all are in it for a hobby. Free TV is a business model that works for the manufactuers, suppliers, etc.


its all experience and education.

Indeed sharing some of both is why we have forums of this nature.


I have a dreambox c+s

Best get cracking then :)

But there would be useful stuff in the on board atty.

As for the dream box well its been in the loft for almost 2 years. Got fed up messing with cable boxes, linux boxes and just pay for what I watch now.
Only messing with it at the moment as purely educational. lol
