Hi,can anyone tell me how this box should be connected up,with a diagram if possible,pls help. I am a newbie and dont understand which way it should be done,cheers.

an ethernet cable from one of your 4 ports on your router into the back of box and your cable feed to back of box:ciao:

[dave mellor]

Thanks for that,but what cable do I use to connect to tv,sorry to seem so useless but I have no clue what am doing,Regards.

scart cable to hook up from box to tv.note the starview server was down so you may have had problems in connecting.

server goes down quite a bit, if you lose channels check on here to see if others are having issues.

been down since last night , well some channels are working and some are not.
ive read they are messing with the servers updating etc so wait a day or two for it to sort itself out.

Have you flashed box with 1.04 firmware & scanned in channels
If so turn off router & box, Reboot router then reboot box
On screen should show connected or not connected
If you used 1.03 firmware you will have to enable settings

First hit MENU--UTILITY--SYST INFO--check it says vers 1.04
If it doesn't you haven't flashed box correctly. Re-flash box.
Is adaptor connected to rs232 port at back of box & is LAN-cable
connected from adaptor to router.
If Provider TV cable is connected to box bbc1,bbc2,itv1, etc. can
be viewed. Internet connection enables other channels to be
viewed. When you have everything set up OK unplug router and
box. plug in router then plug in box. Bottom of screen should
show connected or not connected

You don't answer all questions. I asked last time was adaptor
connected to rs232 port at back of box & LAN-cable connected
from adaptor to router
CAN'T FIND SERVER means box is not connecting to router
Did you reboot router & box, if not do so, do it again anyway.
Can you plug LAN-cable from router to laptop to make sure it's
not faulty

[dave mellor]

Hi,yes the adapter and cable was plugged in exactly into its proper place,I decided to start afresh as could see no reason for problem.
As I looked again where to download the software for it noticed down page on dk that it was posted that entry for CARLING V1.04 december 2010 did not work mmmm!.
So I went to next post which was CARLING V1.03 software,so tried that.
followed all instructions and it fired up straightaway.
I did check in utilities/system and again on my usb stick both showed 2mb/CARLING V1.04 ??? (NOW DELETED) and replaced with v1.03.:bird:
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP

some people had connection issues and told to revert to 1.03.
good to see up and running.
