i am using windows XP and havbe tried it switched on and off...

Are you using just the null modem cable or do you have a USB adapter also?

[cjtobin99]

just using null cable.... i have also got another box here and the cables works fine with it..

[satsmo]

Is the other box also a Starview 3?

[cjtobin99]

yes sorry should of said that.... they both excatly the same starview 3 super box and bought from the same supplier.
im currently trying to read through loads of threads for ideas and have come across a box to box transfer? is that any good how would i do that if so?

[satsmo]

Yes thats why I was checking if both boxes were the same. You can give the box to box transfer a go:

On the good box select
Menu
User Set up
SW Transfer

First select Code Hit OK

When completed select

Channel Data Hit OK

Make sure the receiving box (slave) is pointed away from the remote though and in standby.

Thats from memory as I havent done that in a long while, so hope I am not missing something.

just trying that now doesnt look like its transferring tho.... if it doesnt work, you got any ideas as to why or other solutions? its a mates one too an ive already reset factory settings so theres nothing on box at all now might have to give my one up ....

thanks

Could be a faulty serial connection, although check your Comm Port settings in device manager also. Was your mates box working and if so which firmware version does it have on it at the moment?

[cjtobin99]

it had version 4 something.... i read about resetting factory settings so reset my own box first and then flashed with ver 8.04 no problems whatsoever... so then thought id try my mates to see if it would work but after i reset it i tried to flash but nothing happens except 'flash failed' .... really puzzled me now

[satsmo]

"Version 4 something" are you sure your mates box is a Starview 3?

Hi satsmo.

[cjtobin99]

what a right tit i am.... think it could be starview 2

[satsmo]

Had a funny feeling So you need the correct loader 4.03 and 4.57 in the sticky above. http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...-loader-18314/
