Its here, Idiots Guide to the Starview 4 initial setup

[TheCveman]

Ok, as I just bought the Starview 4 box, currently awaiting delivery, I looked at all the threads, and headaches people had and the fixes mentioned here, so I came up with this easy step-by-step guide.

Please let me know if I missed anything.

From start to finish….


1. Plug in the starview 4; attach the cable feed to the cable input on the back of box
2. Plug the box in to the TV using the usual scart lead.
3. Download the required firmware for the box from Internet.
4. Format your usb drive to FAT32
5. Copy logo & bin file to usb drive (copy/paste)
6. Whilst starview is off - Insert the usb pen drive at the back of the box
7. Flick on the power switch also at the back of the box
8. Power the box on with the remote.
9. Check your TV settings are set to video output RGB and set to PAL
10. Now machine is on - press menu on the remote
11. Scroll down to the usb option in menu and hit ok,
12. Here you will see the files on the pen drive.
13. Highlight 1.07 firmware file and press ok.
14. Highlight the logo file and press ok.
15. Once the firmware and logo files have loaded onto the box:
16. Go back into menu and highlight installation and choose automatic scan hit ok
17. Choose the provider for the area you are in and Select the correct one and hit ok.
18. The box should now pick up the desired channels.
19. Go into menu and key in 1570 with the remote,
20. This will bring you to the secret menu.
21. Highlight keycode and change it to ON.
22. Now you’re all set to scan
23. Exit out and put your box onto S*y sports channel
24. Wait for it to update. This may take a while.
25. Sit back, grab a beer, and enjoy.

highlight the keycodeand change it to on,,,,,,press default on

[martin-f]

press default on

no need to do this pressing default scrambels the keys
the keys are already scrambled from new instalation and the emu kicks in to find the new codes

sometimes you do have to set default key to give the box a jump start from my experiance when keys af rolled

good tut m8
