hi there,

i'm not sure either how you can tell the diference from a clone to an original, i have a starview 4 n got it from ebay so it will be interesting how to tell the difference

!

its really easy to setup just do a factory reset (might already be setup tho so check first)!!! install firmware by going to the download section depending on your area ireland etc.... mine was v1.07 is the latest for me then dl to a usb stick from computer.

make sure your box is off first then stick it in the box and turn it on.

install the firmware by going through the hdd button n install,
then do a scan for channels that's about it.

when you in the menu press 1570 which is the secret menu and make sure your key is on, hope i havn't missed anything i'm sure a veteran will help u out if i have

good luck!

i suggest u look round for dealers look at feedback etc.. we are not aloud 2 tell you who 2 get them off and that..

yet they are easy 2 setup if you read the guides in here

also i havent heard that there is a clone box for the SV 4 as they are new boxes... so u will be ok

hope this helps

i have read through the info on how to flash the box but it tells me to download the firmware which i have done then it says about putting the fimware and the logo files on the usb i only have one thing from the download which reads
theboxsuperusb-v1.07 wich i take it this is the firmware that i put on the usb but what are the logo files
sorry i know im prob just a bit thick but i keep reading it over and over again and cant get my head around it i thought when i downloaded the firmware it would just be a couple of files not one .bin file

many thanks for all your help really glad there are people like you lot out there to help knobs like me, so know all i have to do is put the two files on the usb then,the logo and the firmware then bobs your uncle
is that all i need for the usb then, if so i just follow the other steps in the guide and i should be good
many thanks taff

Don't think you need the logo file with V1.07, it's already included, everything you need is in the one file. Just follow the instructions to the word and you'll be fine.

**pjtaff** · 13th May, 2009, 06:48 PM

one other thing i have a older starview box now with this one you have to update the code every so often do you have to do the same with the sv4

**pjtaff** · 13th May, 2009, 08:20 PM

thanks for your help can i use any size usb memory stick or is there a maximum also can you set a timer on the sv4 to record to the memory stick or is it just instant record,
i have a micro sd with a usb adapter will this do
sorry to sound a bit thick but its all new to me
