Excellent Site for the Starview 4 usb

Better waiting until you have your cable installed first. But cant see a reason why you cant even see the boot screen, make sure you have it in the correct scart socket.

There is a basic guide that comes with the firmware you have downloaded, have a look at the readme text file.

Actually, just had another quick look and managed to get the software installed.

Guess what - wrong scart.

Here we go....

Cheers.

Whats your problem with it. After you plugged it into the SV4, did you press HDD on the remote and format the drive?

[mcgeoff]

Many thanks for info setup and working fine

I received my SV4 yesterday. Setup was very easy and all is working fine. When recording a channel is is posible to then view that recording on the drive connected to a PC?

crazier, what do you mean "the one i bought as a normal ariel" ? I would like to try your plan but will I need to have a separate aerial upstairs for the Starview box? I am assuming the signal to the Starview will be wireless via the Maplins kit?
