STARVIEW HD COMBO mac error oa:oo:oo:oo:oo:oo

[keith]

Hi Guys. Need some help. Have a HD combo + lan. my MAC address which has changed to 0A:00:00:00:00:00 and i can not change it back to what it should be I would like to go back to a previous fimware and change the MAC. Have tried numerous times but have been unable to roll back. If anyone has any advice as to what i should do, it would be much appreciated

use the guiness firmware for ireland but select ustream should be ok

I'm using the guiness firmware and have the same MAC error, had tried to install carling V1.00 instead and this caused the MAC error for me.

Have re-installed 0524uad firmware & MAC still locked down.

THIS IS FOR THE STARVIEW HD COMBO + ONLY IF YOURS DOES NOT HAVE A LAN PORT DO NOT USE THIS FIX!!!!!


You will need:

A computer with a serial port

A Null modem 9 pin serial cable (as used on the starview 1 - 3)

Connect the SV HD to the computer using the serial cable and attach to mains (leave turned off by switch on back)

UNZIP the file downloaded

open HD-200_Download.exe

Choose COM 1 (unless you have connected it to a different port)

Select software (HD300N_SC_RS232_1.bin)

Turn on receiver with rear switch

bar will start counting to 100%

WAIT UNTIL SOFTWARE SAYS COMPLETE!!!!

Turn off receiver and back on

P.S. This will also recover 'bricked' SVHD's (if there are any lights still on)

Once complete the receiver will be as factory provided.

If your Starview HD has lost its MAC address this is what you need to do next:

Go to accessory - network - ip config

Set IP to manual

You can now edit the MAC address back to the original receivers address - Your mac address is on a sticker inside the receiver (you can see it through the vents on the top)

apply then exit.

Then you can start from scratch loading which ever firmware you choose.
