[smirnoff_rules]

[Embassy]

Yes, its a "the box usb 2" Starview 5, purchased today

[Embassy]

tried v1.07, v1.11 and v1.12, phoned seller they said use v1.12.

None work

[smirnoff_rules]

tried v1.07, v1.11 and v1.12, phoned seller they said use v1.12.

None work

1.12 isnt as stable as 1.07 ? strange , how r u installing this m8 .. give us a step by step

[Embassy]

format memory stick on SV5, turn off and remove stick (also tried formating to FAT32 on pc same results)
copy file to stick
put stick in SV5 and turn on
Choose english
Go to USB
click on usb
click on V12 bin file
tells me that it is not a file of this IRD

Pretend to throw SV5 through the window:beheaded:

[smirnoff_rules]

[cactikid]

new box new firmware i would have thought,putting anything else may brick it.

[satsmo]

I have seen it DD, the "NEW SECURITY CHIP" I find to be a great advert for the box :) Sorry for the subtle hint of satire. Cloners will clone that is the nature of things.

Yes it will have it's own firmware and hopefully should be out by Monday or sooner.

[DESSERTDOG]

Cheers m8 yeh lets hope its out as soon as the box is lol

[smirnoff_rules]

wonder why they sold him this box early for with no support ?

[satsmo]

Strange one alright m8.

[jus16051982]

hi mate, iv just ordered a '5' today. i set up a starview 4 the other day and was told that exactly the same files would work on the starview 5. Im still using version 9, it works a treat.

[badapple]

Well my m8 in Birmingham has also got one today and is also struggling to find firmware atm.
Some shops have already got stock and cant resist a sale.

I suppose as its not officially released until Monday, he just have to hang on to it.

[satsmo]

hi mate, iv just ordered a '5' today. i set up a starview 4 the other day and was told that exactly the same files would work on the starview 5. Im still using version 9, it works a treat.


As said it requires its own fw which will be available soon. Looks like someone has released the boxes before the firmware.

[DESSERTDOG]

Would be interesting to know who sold it lol

[satsmo]

I have an inkling but wont point the finger.........yet lol

[DESSERTDOG]

well mines ordered and paid for so hope i get the software before the box or im gonna sulk lma

[satsmo]

It will otherwise I hope you like five channels :D

[DESSERTDOG]

Better to have 5 than a bricked box lol

[smirnoff_rules]

l bet this does take the sv4 software , there just trying to sell new looking models on the back of how easy it is to upload f/w your self ie anyone can use these , well before n3 comes that is

[satsmo]

Different processor m8 so the firmware differs so I have been told.

[cactikid]

I have an inkling but wont point the finger.........yet lol
ha ha one finger which one lol:beheaded:

[DESSERTDOG]

There is a site advertising that they have them in stock

[joneh]

could you please upload a photo of the box?

[DESSERTDOG]

there is none as yet

[Embassy]

thanks for all your comments, i will wait till the fireware is out for it.

[colly2009]

thats not fair just got a starview 4 super usb and theres a new one out wats it look like surly sumone who has one can post a pick?

[cactikid]

all info will be out tomorrow

[bigbob2009]

what the hell isnt anyone posting the website(s) of where they have ordered the new box from????

i have SV3 and would like to upgrade - only if there is a massive improvement!

[cactikid]

websites have been attacked and are coming back just be patient,also read up before you buy any box.

[DESSERTDOG]

what the hell isnt anyone posting the website(s) of where they have ordered the new box from????

i have SV3 and would like to upgrade - only if there is a massive improvement!

The details of the new sv5 are posted on here but no pictures as yet.As for website a hint was posted by me have a read back m8

[Wizard1]

Hi Guys

They look exactly the same as the SV4, the only difference is that the label on the front says The Box Super USB II. They startup the same & have the same menus, although this may change when the new software is released.

[bigbob2009]

and so the whole point of this new box is....???

[Wizard1]

and so the whole point of this new box is....???

If they've gone for a new chipset, that is why they've probably had to change the firmware. It maybe faster & smoother, we won't know untill we have the firmware. Apart from the badge & the box it comes in, cosmetically there's no difference.

[DESSERTDOG]

and so the whole point of this new box is....???

If you read the write up i posted you will know m8

[cactikid]

who reads?? lol or uses search button.

[Wizard1]

The software (201) is out for the SV5, unfortunately its full of bugs & does not work properly. I can only scan 24 channels in with it & they keep locking up. Also there is a considerable delay during channel changes. I 've been informed a new release will be available (Tues) tomorrow.

[Embassy]

Where can I find the sv5 software 201? And thanks for the update

[Wizard1]

Hi m8

Check your pm.

Regards

[Embassy]

yeap checked, replied to you. Cheers buddy

[Embassy]

Wiz sats have them in stock.

[bjulian1982]

where can i find the firmware buddy?

[Wizard1]

Yep I noticed.

[Wizard1]

Hi bjulian1982

I would wait until tomorrow as 2.01 as many things wrong with it.

Regards

[bjulian1982]

thanks for ur help and advice but this box is actually my brothers as his sv3 went belly up so he has brought this box. would it be possible to let me know where to find the software just so he can have a box to watch tonight thats all buddy.... thanks for your help

[DESSERTDOG]

where can i find the firmware buddy?

wait for a stable one tuesday

[Wizard1]

I would not recommend this Firmware as channels keep freezing & box needs to be restarted. Check your PM.

They should have held back the release. Like your last releases they where Beta on early release but at least they worked.

What is the big advantage of the SV5 over the SV4 other than an additional USB port? I seen all the other specs info. More importantly will support continue for the SV4 or will this cease?

@ OP Embassy you still have not said who sold you the box?

[Wizard1]

I agree, I think you may have missunderstood the spec as this box only has One USB port. Only difference seems to be different chipset, it maybe cheaper to manufacture.

Regards

[DESSERTDOG]

I wonder if this will be 2.01a or 2,02 lol

[Wizard1]

I wonder if this will be 2.01a or 2,02 lol

We should know tomorrow.

[satsmo]

Sorry sounded like a 2 x USB box? So the only difference is the processor? Similar to other FTA it is been introduced to counteract the cloners?

Thanks for that but what is the difference between this and the SV4 other than the processor? And will the SV4 still be supported?

[Wizard1]

Hi Satsmo

I have read the same as you that this has been introduced to try to stop the cloners. I know as much as you, I think along with others on this site you are mixing me up with someone else or suppliers of these box's. That is Not the case I have been using this name for more than 10 years, long before any of these distributors. As for the support of the SV 4, i've no idea. These are not box's that interest me I'm a linux man myself, but I have friends who use these box's.

Regards

[satsmo]

That is Not the case I have been using this name for more than 10 years, long before any of these distributors.

I would have words with them for taking your nick :)

[Wizard1]

Trust me I've thought about it, lol.
Another thing, if I was associated with them why would I be posting on here. DF knows me from another well known site he used to moderate on. Anyway I think we are getting off track here. If I get a copy of the new Firmware tomorrow I will test it & let you know.

[satsmo]

At no time did I mention "them". I was assuming you were a Beta tester given you have the test FW and I was asking what were the differences you can/could see.

Sorry for the confusion.

I have also seen one and given the name "The Box USB II /Starview 5 is more confusing :)


Cheers, I think we are on track as all the questions pertain to the box and are relevant.

[Wizard1]

No probs m8, I get this regularly because of my nick. As i said before the only physical difference is the badge (The Box USB II) & the container it comes in. I havn't removed the lid, but I'm told the chipset is different. Therefore the need for firmware change.

[cactikid]

curious to know if they put the serial port back in,waiting for the 8882 lol

[Winnie]

it's Tuesday. where's the firm ware ?? :(

[portbhoy]

Tuesdays 24 hours long mate, have a little patience ;)

without wanting to sound rude have you read these posts, if you had you would not be asking m8 it helps to read up first.This aplies to posts 76,77,78

[Porky1978]

I guess people are impatient because, like me, they were told that the firmware for the starview 4 box would work. Thats what i was told by the nice man from Wiz Sat :y:

[chubbles]

Ok so i'm considering buying starview 5. However I was wondering if there are going to be major problems with the firmware for the first few months?
so would it be better to get a starview 4 instead because it's tried and tested as it were?
Cheers for any help

[steve&deb]

hi bought one of these starview 5 boxes delivered today havnt got a clue what to do have my memory stick (ready 4gb) can someone please give a newbie a really easy description of what to do thanks so much

[slipdog]

Most hardware and software has teething problems the choice is entirely yours if it helps lots have been sold even i have one on order lol

[badapple]

Hey guys BE VERY CAREFUL!!!
my m8 picked up a starview 5(usb2) last friday and tried to load the SV 4 firmware on it and now it fcuked up, its showing 0000 and he cant get any response from it! Its just frozen.

So dont try to load any old firmware on it, just wait for the correct firmware to be released or your box may fcuk up as well!

[DESSERTDOG]

Thanx

Im sure that you dont need anything else to get freeview so you can plug it in now

[rampantic]

yes, you can get the freeview channels on the sv5 even without the software, just go into instillation and scan for channels - and here's hoping the software gets here soon...

[Wizard1]

Hi All

[DESSERTDOG]

Those that have the box and got it up and running it would be nice to have a small write up from you with your comments please if you have the time.

[bjulian1982]

thanks to the uploaders the sv5 is a good bit of magic in a box.. just as good as sv4 except better the pause and rewind function works well and as does the record function fast to load up and probally one of the best boxes on the market SO FAR only had it a day but have had dealings in all other box's... thanking you again for ur work...:party:

[satman]

More manic-depressive happy starview owners,, whatever next? :flute:

Bet the new security chip is cloned soon LOL, just shame on the sv1,2,3,4 owners

[Embassy]

hi i am not getting all the channels as i expected, i have followed the setup as per the SV4. Any ideas?

[Winnie]

nice 1 for the upload. loaded up sound. got all the channels, happy days

[Embassy]

tell the process you went through please?

[Embassy]

duh got it, silly boy!!! thanks all.:withstupid:

[Novac]

Has any one written up an appraisal of the Starview 5 yet ? Is it worth the extra 25 squids for a pause/rewind function, or is it significantly improved on the SV-4 ? Thinking of having another Starview and wondering which to go for; older cheaper
or later for 20% more cost ? Comments welcomed

[DESSERTDOG]

Post 96 may help you

[Novac]

Thankyou DessertDog - No sooner had I let the return key go I stumbled on the sales pitch for the SV5

[waynegillo]

Just upgraded from Starview 2 to Starview 5. A vast improvement - the EPG works, the pause and record functions work, and the picture quality is much better. No idea how it compares to Starview 4 but I am very happy with it so far.

[legend61]

i am still = it is not a file of this IRD? any help please???

[bjulian1982]

Just a possibiltie of what the box can do.

I do not condone the use of these box's to illegaly recieve cable..

just a quick guide on how to get SV5 up and running

1st i recomend doing a auto install before installing the usb or software make sure you choose your corect area cable provider, eg NThell...

Once your box has scanned and installed all your channels then its time to install the software wich can be fount in the download section.

Once you have the software copy it to a formated usb memory stick...

Now you have the software on your stick, Make sure your box is turned of and install the memory stick into the back of the box. Turn on your SV5 and go to USB select the firmware and let the box do its magic.

Once installed and rebooted you will have to access the hidden menu for this press "menu" then "1,5.7.0" go to key and select "on" now exit and go to any one of the pay for channels let the box update and hay presto your away...

[bjulian1982]

also fount out that the record function works for programes selected through the epg..A vast inprovment from SV4 and to me it seems to be less glitch free also...

[delstot]

I tried to install version 12 on my super usb and I think that it got the same message, not of this IRD. Its working ok on version 1.07 though.

[jeanthierry]

Hi All

Its here, seems to work ok. Check the Downloads section.

Hi

Anyone know whats different to 2.02 ?

Regards

[DESSERTDOG]

Yes the first release was buggy so new version was released

[Novac]

Starview 5 How do you get to the emu on this one ie what menu setting do you have to be at to tap in the 1570 . Going spare not succeeding

[DESSERTDOG]

Starview 5 How do you get to the emu on this one ie what menu setting do you have to be at to tap in the 1570 . Going spare not succeeding

once the firmware has been loaded go into menu and type 1570 on the remote this should bring you to the secret menu.

[Novac]

Unless it was made clear earlier :
Put a clean memory stick in the Box USB II socket and let the box format it. Remove from box and add the new firmware file from your PC.
Reinstall stick to box go to USB menu and then it will upgrade to the new firmware. Allow box to reboot. Re-scan for all channels. Key menu invoke 1570 and turn emu on. exit out to programmes, et voila ! key epg and allow to download. Sit back pour a tinnie and watch TV.
Latest firmware is on this site TheboxSuperUSB2_v2.03.20090923.BIN
Dunno who wrote it but Thanks to Devilfish for putting me on the right track.

Anyone know why another release ?
Were there issues with the last release?

[martyn67]

v2.02 suits me fine at the mo unless anyone got any issues with it but seems ok.....

[cactikid]

anytime a new box comes out and firmware is prone to bugs so they fix it with an update,so they advise to go with the latest fix.sometimes they say what its for sometimes not.

hi guys,

Can anyone help me?
Last few weeks been losing channels and had to keep scanning / reset on almost a daily basis.

This morning lost all channels on the box - did the usual factory reset and rescanning no joy. All I get is no channels found on all providers. Anyone else having similar problems.
S/w version 1.07, boot version b-11, date 22/12/2008

Do i need to load a new version.

I was wondering if this has anything to do with the retuning exercise going on for channel 5 - i read something online yesterday that lots of people may have to retune their TVs - maybe have to also retune the digi boxes ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In the USB update my box is Model ID C531. S/W is 2.00
When I first select the firmware file on the USB (either 2.02 or 2.03) it comes up with the error. If I select the file again it brings up the upload window but remains on 0%.

I formatted the USB stick in the box first.

Any ideas please?

[thost]

Hi,

Does the Starview 5 work in Dublin Ireland ?

Thanks in advance

[satsmo]

For most channels yes. But not for the premium movies and sports packages as they are gone to Nagra 3.

[thost]

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Is there any box on the market that can sort out Nagra 3.

Regards

[satsmo]

To decrypt Nagra 3, no there are none.

There are ways around it, google cardsharing as we cannot discuss it here. It is also more beneficial on a Sat system rather than a cable system.

[alexthekid]

will the software work on the starview 4 ??

5 is out kinda quick .. is that because the 4 was/is rubbish ??

[dancing deano]

I have the starview 4 and replaced it with the 5 (passing 4 on as you do) but I can't see the diffrence. could someone tell me what or where I should be looking, I have only just got it and I still have the 4 at the moment to se the diffrence. And usb formated to fat32 on pc was the only way it worked for me. :dancing2::dancing2:

[DESSERTDOG]

will the software work on the starview 4 ??

5 is out kinda quick .. is that because the 4 was/is rubbish ??

Simple answer NO different chip m8 and the 5 was bought out because of clones for the sv4 the sv5 has what they say is an anty clone chip but im sure sooner or later someone will get past it lol.

And usb formated to fat32 on pc was the only way it worked for me. :dancing2::dancing2:

The write up for the SV5 on the site from where you purchased it or on here tells you all they can about it m8 there is very little difference.

[chris_scrim]

I'm running firmware version 2.02 on my sv5 and lost sky sports 1 and mutv today. Got them back by restoring factory settings and rescanning but obviously don't want to be doing this every day. Do you think upgrading to firmware 2.03 will sort this out, or is it just a one off problem? Don't want to upgrade if everything is working fine as its needless.

Thanks.

[mtv1]

well m8 3 keyrolls in 3 days your lucky thats all you lost lol if ya want to change m8 do but i'd leave it for now good luck

[chris_scrim]

Yeah cheers for that mate, got all the channels working at the moment so i'm just going to leave alone. I'm in tw area north east btw.

[solihull]

Hey guy's, had my sv5 for over a week now and it is my first box, i was a total noob. Using the v2.03 firmware and i am over the moon with it! No freezing or pixels, epg is great. Thought i had a prob with audio description but by checking DK was able to fix it with the press of a button.
Thanks so much guy's for the work you do on here and your patience with us noobs.
Long live digital kaos!! :unionflag:

The latest firmware file I've downlaoded is a tiny little thing - 974 kb I believe - is that right? Also I had found a step-by-step idiot's guide to setting up a starview 5 on here a few days ago but forgot to bookmark it - I've searched but can't find it - if anyone has the link to it I'd be eternally greatful...

Thanks a lot Smirnoff - one more question though - when I've downloaded the file (from your link) all I have is a solitary .bin file - is that the only file I need? I've seen lots of posts on here talking of unzipping/un-rarring etc & worried I've got the wrong file...

Thanks a lot mate - I take it that the instructions you posted were for a starview 4 box with the new firmware ALREADY installed?

put it on the usb then go into menu then usb then click on ok on the firmware and it will update m8

[sputnikkid2006]

Hi- followed the instructions above to install f/w onto my new The Box USB II, finally got the pen drive to recognise the f/w, pressed 'format' on the 3 file types that I was presented - MTPMEDIA CH Data Backup and Code Backup - got a 'Warning!!!' sign each time, and then tried Auto Scan. This just gave me the standard freeview channels, and $ signs against the pay for view ones. BTW - I had to go back to Menu and back to USB to format each of the 3 files. Am I being a complete muppet? NB the 1570 option doesn't do anything on my box - again, is it just me?
Help plz - I'm going mad with this thing

[DESSERTDOG]

i dont think you have read the installation instructions m8 follow this.

1. Plug in the box and connect the cables
2.Format a usb stick in pc to fat32
3.Copy the firmware onto the stick via the PC
4 Switch your box off completely and insert the usb in the rear socket.
5.Switch on the box wait for it to boot up.
6.Press menu and scroll to usb press ok
7.The firmware should start to transfer from the usb to the box.
8.Once this has done hit menu and key in 1570 with the remote.
this will bring up the secret menu hi light keycode and change it to on.
9.You should now be set to scan go into menu and select installation,choose automatic scan press ok then choose your provider hit ok again.
You should now get all channels your after.
If by any chance you dont get the channels try a different provider.

[sputnikkid2006]

Thanks for your patience DessertDog:-

I'm not sure how to format the stick to fat32. Do I need to do anything other can copy and paste to the Pen Drive?
Other than that, I've followed the steps you suggested, but have to format the 3 files manually. On each occassion it says formatting complete but I have to go back to Menu to format the next file. Incidentally the CH Data Back up and Code Back up files stay on the USB menu after I've formatted them, but the other one disappears from the menu. Keying in 1570 with the remote still doesn't do anything so I still can't see the secret Menu.
Apologies again if I'm being a complete plank.

Format it in the pc m8 download the program in downloads section PC Fat32Formatter if you are using a stick larger than 32gig if its just a small USb ie below 32gig then vista will format it ok.Your USB stick needs to be clean to download the hardware onto it from the downloads section.

Thx again DessertDog - I've now finally managed to run the file and have access to about 20 - 30 channels; but no non-UK channels and a lot of the channels I can get from my Virgin Media package are still blanked out with a $ sign. In short, I've lost about 50 chaneels and gained at 10 new ones. Am I being greedy? I kinnda thought I would have access to 100s channels. Any ideas anyone?

[DESSERTDOG]

Have you followed the tut carefully ie have you selected your correct provider , have you gone into the secret menu by typing 1570 etc.

[cactikid]

reading is crucial last step before pulling hair out.

[sputnikkid2006]

Yep - finally got 1570 working then autoscanned all of the following TW, NTL, EX C&W, OM. CHORUS and Chorus Cork. That's all the options I got. Most of the UK-based channels came up with $ signs. Help :-(

[sputnikkid2006]

JoK did as you said

Menu 1570 - yep
Keycode to ON - yep
Set default key - yep

I then exited to Automatic Scan and selected and OK'd the same providers (ie. leave to update didnt do anything). Have I messed up again as I still got loads of channels with $ signs?

No wait!!!!!! It's working :-)

How many channels are ppl seeing? At the moment, I've got pretty much the same as my Vigin Media package plus Sky Movies and a random supply of ~~~~ films (don't tell the missus though). What I really want to view is all the Premiership games which Sky/ESPN don't broadcast. Is there a way of viewing these games via foreign broadcasters - a bit like using P2P to view games via my PC?

The answer is quite simply yes, but under the present encryption dilemma probably not adviseable, you would probably be better off keeping the contract but downgrading to the basic package or even their "freeview" package, at least then you will be able to upgrade as soon as the inevitable happens.

So the TV cable will stay 'live'? Why do you say I should keep some sort of TV package with them. Also what encription dilemma?

Do they have a freeview option?

Hi Guys.

I too would like to know this.

[mtv1]

because from time to time technicians call to remove connections to houses with no accounts having the basic package removes this from happening

To be honest why not just drop to the basic package after all if we all cancelled our subscriptions there would be no V****n
would there therefor no free TV

re encryption. vermin is different from sly .sfaik, sly has never been hacked. eire has mostly gone to new encryption, nag3. this is similar to sly's, so will be very hard to crack, if ever.
thats why its best to keep basic package in case the rest of us get hit. sure it will happen,but as to when, god only knows and he's not telling!!

Hi everybody (as dr nick fom the simpsons would say!)
have just purchased an sv5, uploaded the latest software, all channels working, but have one problem, the option to sort and move channels is not available, by that I mean that I can see both options, but I am not able to highlight either to access them. is this just a bug or do I have to re-flash my sv5

:)

[satsmo]

It is not a bug, the options are greyed out as the SV5 maps the channels according to your provider and as a result manual sort/move is disabled.

does seem better than the sv1 I still have, at least the EPG works:)

Hi folks - Got my Starview 5 box, installed the 'TheboxSuperUSB2_v2.03.20090923.BIN' firmware as per instructions on this site...and....it...

100% works! many thanks for all the old hands on here that are so patient with us newcomers!:bird:

I have a couple of minor issues if anyone could enlighten me..

1) EPG seems to do a 100% download every time I use it..
it works ok so I'm not moaning!
2) Half the time I can't delete my recordings from my mem stick. I hit the green button, then OK - and the dialog box disappears leaving the recording still there. The only way I can get it to work is to switch off the unit at the rear, then back on. The files will then delete in the normal way..

Any ideas?

Thanks again

Baz

[DESSERTDOG]

Hi Baz
Epg seems to do that on the SV5 for some reason but once its done it it seems to be ok for the rest of the day .

Hi guys, got my starview 5 yesterday installed firmware ok but not pickin up any signal from the sky cable. Am new to this, so probably missed a step or those this box only work with cable tv and not sky...pls help

[amj2305]

yes starview only works on cable m8. return the said box to where you got it from & get hold of a starview combo that does both sat & cable, thats if you want to stick with starview btw

Anyone else have this problem when putting software onto box?
Mine says downloading please wait but doesnt seem to be doing anything, if you had this problem how did you fix it?


Imm having the same problem right now

been stuck on the downloading screen for about 40 mins,all the wee squares went white but its still at 0%

Dont want to turn it off as the warning is at the bottom of the screen

Followed the tut to the letter and im using v2.02

Did you format your USB pen on your pc before putting the software onto it? I made that mistake initially, but after formatting it worked fine.

Hi

Just got my starview 5 and got this file

TheboxSuperUSB2_v2.03.20090923

The only problem is that its an ISO file and I have seen on the forum that it should be a WinRar file

Help Please
