    furry i got mine today aswell i had an old eurovox so not a geek at these starview but if im correct it should cum with the firmware on it m8 mine did.
    WHAT I DID:first i input the virgin cable into the back of starview box went to menu on starview GO TO OPTIONS then in network change to USTREAM(for uk) ISTREAM (for ireland)then back in menu go to accessory and using the remote hit 8989 this will bring up the hidden emulator menu go into tht and make sure autoupdates are turned on. now proceed to scan let me know when you get that far

            You need to flash it correctly with the latest file found here Digital Kaos - Downloads - Starview 7 Carling 1.03

                      Got mine today. Loaded up the firmware, no problem. Turned on the emulator,no problem.Auto update no problem. Ustream no problem.

                      The problem I have is I can't find ANY channels when scanning.

                      Any tips welcome!

                        I have moved the router and modem to a different v****n inlet point. Also using a different ethernet cable and still not picking up ANY channels after a scan. Do you need to have a basic tv package from the said supplier or should it still work if you only subscribe to broadband?

                        Seriously frustrated and thinking of putting it on ebay.

                          Same here new HD+Combo box, read all the posts, followed all the instructions and I get 2 scrambled channels***8230;..not good. Is there a new set of instructions for the new HD+ box as there are tons of conflicting setup instructions ie Go to Utility and access USB, on my box USB is in accessories, is this just a small change not to worry about or have I got wrong software on? Also which is the correct area code for v****n as I have tried all 3 with no success. Last question, which is the correct software for this box and does it need firmware as well?

                          Cheers for help
