hello everyone, im brand spanking new to this. please, please be gentle.
i recently lost channels on my "the box super usb" and tried everything to try and retieve them, rescanning etc. the only thing i didnt do was "factory default" which i ended up doing. mmmm.....
i can now picture some of you sniggering, some may be shaking their heads in disbelief and some of you will be nodding in agreement as you have done the very same stupid thing!
i now have the luxury of watching a lovely plain blue screen... marvelous.
is it easy to reload this box with software and if so, is it all self loading etc and which software is the latest version. living in north east england on virgin media. give it to me straight, am i watching telly tonite or is my sat box destined for the wheelie bin? thankyou all in advance! cheers, neil

hi mate

first of all was the channels working when u first got the box?

factory reset is fine... However you need to rescan again and you should get your channels back

after that press menu > 1570 > turn on Key code and click on set default key

exit 3 times and go to a $ channel and wait for code to update.

hello, thanks for your reply. i have had the box from new about september last year and have had all the channels, though at times i did have to rescan to gain lost channels. at the moment when i switch the box on it lists which language (to which i select english) and then it goes to main menu and there is a list: INSTALLATION, CHANNEL SET UP, USER SET UP, SYSTEM SET UP and USB" have gone through all of the above and havent got any channels at all.
there is no "press menu > 1570 > turn key code ? etc options. its pretty much as blank as when i went to "factory default" proceedure. do i need to install software? thanks, neil

if you were scanning correct provider you should see channel names appear and by switching emu or keycode to on or enable and exiting out,box may have to update and picture will come back on.

thats true however alot of folks should technically press the '' set default key'' option which is provided.

So that the keys update from fresh.

Unles am Wrong..lol


Your welcome lousund... you owe me a Pint now ... lol

at the front of the box can you please tell me which box it is and I will guide you to the correct section and firmware.

Writing Starview 4 is just confusing and installing the wrong firmware will brick your box.

So check exactly which box you have post back with the exact name please mate.

where are you? have you done all that has been suggested for days now? menu, 1570, emu on, press default, exit exit.etc.
what channels are missing?
try t/pest or other providers.

I see you have v1.05 f/w on your box, you'll need to put v1.12 on there.

But have a read at post 48 before you go bricking your box.

Haven't had most of my channels for a few days. I've done all the rescan, key on etc and nothing. I've had a look at the system info and it says its running S/W Version 1.07, I'm assuming this is firmware 1.07.

If I download the v1.12 file to I just load it onto a flash and select it open the file via the box? Sorry this may seem like a dumb question but, I haven't done this before.

Cheers.

Hi Guys,
The pass week or so my channels have been switching off to no signal. Now all channels have gone to no signal. I've reset and loaded firmware 2.02 as before and went through the process key code on etc, when I search for channels on auto scan nothing comes up. Is this the problem everyone is having here? Im in Cheshire where Nag3 is in place I think? Im on Starview 5, is it worth getting a new star view?

unfortunatley it looks like the movie channels and an assortment of other channels are gone for good ( if it really is nag3) on the standard definition boxes, but i am currently recieving all the new hd movie channels and sky sports hd on my starview hd combi plus without loading new firmware or using lan ports.
this is why i am suspicious about people that instantly assume nag 3 and dont give other possible explanations.

i wouldnt run out and buy the hd combi at the moment because not one single person ( apart from tricky dicky )actually knows what is going to happen.

seriously mate, if thats all you have lost, then you are very lucky...all will go soon... but in the meantime, try a rescan with other providers... .. its a bit of interest as well,
