Very newbie here too.
Have the box, cable being fitted tomorrow.

Anyone know if there's a really basic idiot's guide out there?

I've tried to load the software from the USB with the box connected by scart to the TV but can't get the TV to pick up anything from the box.
This normal?

Thanks.

[satsmo]

Better waiting until you have your cable installed first. But cant see a reason why you cant even see the boot screen, make sure you have it in the correct scart socket.

There is a basic guide that comes with the firmware you have downloaded, have a look at the readme text file.

Thanks for the reply.

The guide seems to start from after the software has been installed via the USB. I'll wait until the cable is installed anyway and have a proper play with it then.

Thanks again.

Actually, just had another quick look and managed to get the software installed.

Guess what - wrong scart. :embarassed:

Here we go....

Any help setting up external HDD

[satsmo]

What size/model type is it and is it USB powered or external power?

[mcgeoff]

Western Digital 250gig and external power

[satsmo]

Whats your problem with it. After you plugged it into the SV4, did you press HDD on the remote and format the drive?

[mcgeoff]

Many thanks for info setup and working fine :celticscarf:

[slapshot]

I received my SV4 yesterday. Setup was very easy and all is working fine. When recording a channel is is posible to then view that recording on the drive connected to a PC?

crazier, what do you mean "the one i bought as a normal ariel" ? I would like to try your plan but will I need to have a separate aerial upstairs for the Starview box? I am assuming the signal to the Starview will be wireless via the Maplins kit?

[kevjconroy]

[Bulld0g]

Takes about 15-20 minutes.

You will be able to download the firmware after your first post(about 30 mins)
You will need to download the firmware and load it onto your box.
Then we can get you into the secret menu.
Why not introduce yourself first and we will give you the help you need.

you will need to update your fimware m8
and you will have to check your box is gen or clone as wrong f/w will kill your box

[kaziz]

Hi,

About to buy a SV4 but someone has told me I might be better off going for a Digivox XL USB?

I'm kind of new to this so a little unsure, are there any benefits of one over the other? One thing I've been told is the Digivox hasn't been cloned so I'm sure to get an original box?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Kaziz

no mate, so long as you have a live cable feed that is, svs etc only work on cable, which is already digital.

Does anyone know the procedure for upgrading the firemware? I have a starview 5 but assume that it will be the same for upgrading a starview 4.

Is there anyway to check that the firmware you have downloaded isn't corrupt as I'm worried about bricking my box?
