starview 7 stuck on standby

star view 7

Both my boxes went down one after another BUT...
I was watching for two weeks on the new firmware and my boxes were fine until I unplugged one, it wouldn't come on again. I didn't realise why and unplugged the other box to try in my room in case leads were problem etc. Now both boxes are fried!

Please be warned, if your box serial number starts with 101 or 102 ( white label on rear) and is working on firmware 3.0, DO NOT UNPLUG IT, cos it may not come on again.

Can anyone confirm if their boxes only failed after they disturbed the power or rebooted them? It would be interesting to know and would help others etc.

your right ,dont power off unless you must ,done three boxes now and worked fine until powering off and back on, what a con this world is sky is best for now

[xranger]

been reading conflicting posts on this matter,101's,102's and some 104's and 106's being removed from server???? i updated to new fw about 3 weeks ago,didn't lose any sub time,box still on,starts with 104,anyone know the facts? i've been happy with the sv7,my first 6 months end this sept' and its been mostly trouble free and paying ?25 for the whole period i can't complain,unsure about renewing subs know though,sounds like sv are doing a lucky dip to me,i mean have they just not got round to me yet??

[starpookid]

"Lucky Dip" sounds about right.

Anyone going on their mini chat saying they're having problems with their box are being asked to provide the full box number.......and they are

If I was more Cynical I'd say at this point if boxes ain't been killed off then these numbers are added to the hitlist.....I sat and watched minichat for a few hours,they're laffing their ducks off.

[cactikid]

2 bans in one seems logical,remove box and ban member.it is starview

Hi lexy12 I have the same problem I turned off power overnite, in the morning red light nothing else i believe last update has caused this, believe sv team have created this prob asking supporters to fork out for new box , have put it to puter expert to check if one of the resisters have blown waiting keep in touch (eck)

I can confirm that mine only blew (green light on, nothing else) after I turned it off at the back, then back on again.

[cactikid]

check your box number on boxes that have gone please so this thread can be updated underneath cheers.

reading thru these posts, a lot seem to have recently took the subs and then when applying the 3.00 update bricked their box

like i said before both mine are 101,one was powered off for 8 days,working fine and the only difference i can think is that i paid a 12 month sub in march.

[ASEK]

yep I'd go for that 12 months saved u, interesting to see if all that failed were 6 months only start that cactikid.

[Newbie Girl]

Sorry Chaps, but I had over 11 months left on my subs and the box is still showing the single green light !! I can't even get the FTA channels !!

I am really confused now, as looking at the information that has been added on another post on this site, kiddy is requesting to be contacted if you have 3+ months left on your box, if it is not working ??

but the SV team have told me that I need buy another box, they won't transfer my existing paid subs and i cannot buy from another provider (Lincs). On their site, they advertised a SV7 with 6 mth sub at ?95 and are 'allegidly' offering to existing members for a new box at a discounted rate of ?120 !!
