Mate theres noting wrong with the fireware from here im using it and im sure others are must be the box or tuner i suspect...........

[cactikid]

if you meddle with qam settings you alter the state box is ment to work,did you reflash with another file downloaded from downloads?

[hollandish1]

yes i got it off the forum, i have a email reply from a seller of this box, bit complicated for me, can any one break it down into a prosess for me?

Looks like you are only finding one transponder, not a tuner fault or you wouldn't find that. Transponders are usually 8 Mhz apart, so make a note of the frequency that you have and try doing a manual scan with a frequency 8 Mhz higher than the previous frequency with Network scan switched on, then try adding another 8 Mhz and so on. I don't have a box in front of me, so don't know the exact key press order, but it should be straightforward to figure out. You can ensure the SR is correct to give a signal lock, I believe the QAM should be 64. When the box scans a valid transponder, it should get all the frequencies from the network search.

Using a old SV box,the TPs you have are as said on Post 44

Menu/Installation/
Cable Network =NTL
Manual Scan
Down Frequency = 171.000
Symbol Rate = 6887
Press OK

This is for a old SV box yours will differ some,good luck

[hollandish1]

dont fully understand the process but il give it a go in the morning.

[hollandish1]

manual scanned thro the whole mhz and not picked up 1 single channel.

[hollandish1]

any other ideas?

[cactikid]

where is your cable input socket plugged into?
did you reflash it with a fresh file??

[hollandish1]

i re flashed yes, the cable is pluged into the "cable in" on the back

[lac]

Try 187.000 or 193.000,although it looks like a weak tuner the box is picking up the two lowest frequencies 155.000 & 163.000.

Reinstall the FTA softrware and return the box

[hollandish1]

how do you re-install that?

[lac]

The same way you installed the software on the box at the moment in "downloads"

That shouldgive you the FTA channels if the tuner is not ~~~~ed

[smigger66]

have you tryed a different ethernet lead

[cactikid]

you dont scan on the lan cable,its the coaxial you scan,

[Federer16]

why dont you give it one last shot m8?

This is the file you need, its already unzipped, so just copy the file to your usb stick;

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/starview/23/latest-bin-file-starview-6-7-1619/

1: Remove Ethernet Cable from back
2: Copy the new firmware to usb stick, flash the box
3: once the box is flashed & rebooted, Factory Default the box
4: after box has rebooted again, make sure the symbol rate is on AUTO, do not change anything else, and do not connect ethernet yet.
5: SCAN for channels
6: Connect Ethernet at the back
7: go to Sky sports 1, press 1819 on remote
8: give it 2/3 mins and see what happens.
