what version 4.57 sv2

[marvo]

Before i reflash a sv2 can someone tell me what the 4.57 info box displays. Reason Im doing this espn keeps disappearing, when i autoscanned yesterday it was there, but pic kept "tearing". It may already have the latest ver. on?? Not my box so I dont know present installed frimware.

try a factory reset then rescan
to see what firmware is on the box press menu system setup then goto system information then press ok

[marvo]

Ive tried a factory reset and re scanned, everything working except espn and espn classic, they are on screen but badly breaking up. firmware installed is. THE BOX
API:VER8.02e.
E BOOT VER:7.0
30NOV.2008. Also tried a manual scan on these two.

press default key then rescan your box from direct feed. no splitters...

[martin-f]

the box must be a starview super the 8.04e is the latest firmware for that box loader and firmware is all in one

is there a attenuator on the end of the coax if not i would try that first

[marvo]

is this the latest version for starview 2 (The Box)
i.e. is this how it shows up in system info.
THE BOX
API:VER8.02e.E
BOOT VER:7.0
30NOV.2008.

what does is say on the front of the box

[marvo]

It says "The Box", and 2004 code works for emu.

[martin-f]

ha its ok i can now remember now there was a 8.02 for the box and also the box super
as your thread title says the 4.57 is the latest firmware it will au the codes i would update it
but i don't think it will solve your problem it sounds like a to strong/weak signal
but update the box first and rescan and let us no results
firmware here m8

Thanks Martin, Its looking like a weak signal, although sorts and movies are A1. Im a euorvox watcher really, "The Box" is a friends. Im a bit tentative to do a re flash, if the latest firmware is already on and working. After doing basic research it seems it can be a bit of a pain. (Turn box off and download then turn box on,,etc). It looks like 30th nov was latest firmware.

[martin-f]

the latest f/w is the 4.57 he will be having to put codes in to that f/w as it will not au as the 4.57 will
sometimes a to strong signal as the same affect as to weak thats why i said above about the attenuator as it keeps the signal stable if not then its a booster

[marvo]

have you got starview 2 box? if so have a look at the system info window, and let me see it.

starview 2 the box f/w 4.57e_E dec 2008..

look at post 6

[martin-f]

starview 2 the box f/w 4.57e_E dec 2008..


the latest f/w is the 4.57

i think this has been covered m8

[marvo]

although it says dec, will it still show up as 30thnov2008 in the sytem info box. Ive reflashed eurovox new firmware in the past and even tho it as been latest and worked,,sometimes the dates have been (confusingly)a year before.

[martin-f]

yes this happens but he has the old 8.02 f/w which will not au the codes it was very conflicting f/w the 8.02 as the box super has a 8.02
he will have to manually update the codes as the 4.57 will au
but his problem lies with the signal to strong/to weak he must be happy manually update the codes but needs espn as i do lol

[marvo]

duh,,, thanks you two, didnt twig the 4.57 and 8.02 connection. I was thinking something higher not lower.

[marvo]

i tried the sv2 on my connection,,and it worked a treat didnt re flash , just thought id try it first. took it back to friends house and everytime i tried espn, it went haywire, i had to turn box off and on to reset,,upto,i ve told him to use it and avoid espn and classic

[marvo]

i did maca,,a few times,, i also did a direct connection,like you advised,and it was ok,for a few mins ,then it went blank but sound was on,,the logo went black with justa red stripe of the x,,i had to turn on and off,,tried changing leads,,still no luck with espn tho

[marvo]

i will jok eventually,,,its the final thing,,i want to bring it here in case its a bit of a pain,,,dont want to do it there.
