If your looking for a company named starview mate your gonna have a hard time it doesn't exist these boxes are made all over asia and shipped here so your only hope is the original supplier or the kit Tailor-Made Circuits

Presume going by the OP's name and location they are in Dublin. With the premium channels gone to N3 I do not think that the other channels will remain on N2 for much longer, so the SV4 will not be of much use.

There is a jtag port on the SV4, (not the USB Max232 port), so the Jtag points are already present. It is the type of jtag required that is at question.

Hi Jok,
I am afraid mine is a clone with the heatsink visible and I bought mine from these guys http://www.selectronicsonline.co.uk/
and now there site is closed for a maintenance I think they might have done the deed after floging CLONE BOXES.
anyway my requestful question is can the clone be fixed with MAX232 from tailor made circuts.
Many thanks for the input
