StarView 5 Problems (Not N3 - I think!)

[tip2tail]

Hi all,

I'm in Hamilton (ex TW - Uddingston area) and after many years of nagging the wife managed to convince her it was time to get a "box". Then I come on here and find out that N3 is coming - AGHHHHHH! Another sucker taken in... oh well!

Anyway, we still have a bit of time from what I've read N3 hasn't hit here yet, and now we have a StarView 5 USB II box. I have installed the firmware 2.05 and 2.03 but have been having the same issue with both: Beeb 1 -> C5 all work OK but AFAIK all the other channels show up just a black screen. The infobar and EPG show the program info but nothing else.

Yesterday we did manage to get MTV for a while but it kept freezing so I rescanned and lost everything.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

I'm not a complete n00b and I do, roughly speaking, know hat I am doing - I've been re-flashing friends and family members EuroVox boxes for a few years, but they were out of stock and this was recommended instead.

Thanks,

Hi,
Do not use 2.05 very buggy stick to 2.03, make sure keycode is on (press 1570 on menu page press exit twice to save)

Thanks,

This (as one of the comments says) indicates that it is 2.03 I am downloading, but the filename that is downloaded is 2.05.

I'm confused!

Hope you can help!

Hello Dessertdog. Running SV2.03 dated Sep 23 2009 in S Wales. Have lost a few random channels ITV, C4, SkyPrem/+1, SkySportNews over last month. Do you think todays new uploaded ver will recover them or not?

I cant see a version thats been uploaded on 26th unless you mean the one i re up-ed if it is that one then NO its not a new version but it is the most stable one and i would recommend all SV5 users to use that version stay clear of v2.05

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help? Switched on my SV 5 yesterday to find black screen and it appears I have lost all the channels. Did a factory reset. Downloaded the firmware, installed it, now when i come to search for channels it doesnt find any? Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks

What area are you in ??????
