hi....firmwware required is carling 1.03 for the uk
load onto memory stick and insert into the back of the starview,,,
go through your menu on box and find the section that displays the usb submenu and click ok...everything on your usb stick will appear on screen...just press ok on the file and then sw update...box will flash the file and reboot..leave the usb stick in till the box has finished rebooting and the menu appears on screen....
now its time for installation...auto scan...auto..ok.(no need to put a specific symbol rate in)..
when finished go and check that bbc1 is working.....
if it is,now go and highlight accessory..do not press ok on it,just highlight and then press only once...8989...the keyedit will appear on the right submenu...goto it and make sure that the autoupdate section is all on...exit back to main menu and goto options and to network....now network application...select ustream...exit back one...network ip...make sure its all filled in..if not,you can press apply and exit out to main tv and it should open up all the closed channels..if ip is all filled in,dont press ok or save just exit back tonormal tv and select a non fta channel..should take no longer than 10-20 seconds usually and voila!all working...
p.s if you have tried loading or scanning prior to the above,factory default before following the above instructions.....
i apologise if i have wronged in some of the steps above,but i no longer use a starview so its all from the top of my head......regards
if you require any firmware for the starview 7,pm me your email addy and il send it to you...free!
