you need to use the old bootloader method connecting the box with a rs232 cable,you can get the loader and software from the bigmac toolbar. -
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.Comment
