    Default Starview 7 freeview channels don't work

    Just got another starview 7 after my old one expired. I've uploaded the firmware but when I come to search for channels it only brings up freeview channels, that's with the qam set to 64. then when I set qem to 256 and do a search it brings up all of the channels except the freeview channels.

    I've tried searching with all the other qam settings and symbol rates but getting nowhere. It's either one or the other

    Anyone else have the same problem or know where I'm going wrong?

    can i ask why you got rid? and didn't just get new sub ? or by expired did you mean dead, no longer working?
    Why Does Stuff Cost So Much ? And GET OFF MY LAWN.

    my thoughts exactly,if sub expires you just renew it,no reason to buy a new box unless it was faulty.

    Default starview7 channels wont work

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem, had my box since October last year has always worked fine until last week, my internet went down for few hours then when came back on some channels where showing no signal, tried to Rescan box but with no joy, can only get free view channels, unless I scan on 256 then can get other channels but not free view, pulling my hair out now with it, tried factory reset but still no joy, any ideas anyone?

    OK I have managed to get channels back...basically this is how, bear in mind this only worked coz I'm in north east uk

    do a factory default - then auto search on 64 qam exit at end. now manual search go to mux chan scroll till u get to 627 underneath says nit off scroll it on, - sym rate should say 6887 qam 64 then search,-it may only find 4 chans press ok then itl search again at the end you press ok then exit itl ask if u want to change antenna press ok then exit then press 1819 to enable all sorted all chans now back together

    Hope this works for everyone else who having same prob :-)

    have you a good signal and quality around 80%,you factory reset ,power off at rear for a min then on autoscan from direct feed no splitters etc,enable your settings if needed,
    if you only have a bb feed maybe by rebooting router first off for 30 secs then on may clear any faults first before the reset.

    95% signal and quality sounds very strong,like having tv turned up to max,if you had a few splitters to insert may bring level down which would be better.

    My channels have gone to, mostly the movie channels.

    My xpiry is in october so i dont understand why this happens.

    Ive tried rescanning on 64 qam and if finds them all (lists them) but most dont wok Before the weekend it was working fine!!!!

    Not sure what has happened, should i rescan without the splitter? Ive have rebooted the router as well as rebooting the box and doing a factory default but still no good

    Help!
