Eurovox flashing step by step.

thanks hiteck just back from a few months away my box was dead and thanks to your help i am back on tried to do the step3a option but it would not upload for what ever reason is there a quick way of sorting out my channels/favs or will i have to just do it manually myself and a further thanks to the others great help

 

Your welcome,

When you do a scan turn on Fav sort then when you press "FAV" repeatedly on your remote it will show all your channels in a category order, i.e music/ popular/ entertainment/ sport and so on.

 

cheers hiteck all sorted thanks for all your help with everything

 

Guys,
Bought EV PVR after a fustrating time with SV4.
Managed to get it going...I have a few questions tho'....the start stop frequency, where do you get this from or do you just go with whats already populated and search.?? This is what i did and it worked.

It says the HDD is full or not installed....the guy in the shop fitted it and it's brand new..any ideas???

Is there a way to catergorise the channels? apart from manually doing it...SV4 did this automatically.
Finally is there anywhere on tinterweb an idiots guide to EV pvr. My box came with no instuctions.
First impression is that it is better than SV4, but it's early days

Thanks to everyone in advance,

nando

 

UPDATE,
Found where the categorised channels are, doh

Also it does record, thanks to sc0user for that one...
but there's no indication on the epg ie change of colour etc...should there be.

Cheers

 

Hi HiTeck,

I think I need your help. I bought eurovox ex 1000 sl box from ebay, came with FTA. I followed your advice and loaded the new firmware and then rescanned the channels. Box is picking up lots of chanels. it however comes up with Scrambled Channel.

Can you help.

 

Can you clarify more please, does it come up with scramled channels for everone of your channels recieved or are some of them working, also on your remote type menu, config, system info, ok, read back what it says in there.

Sounds like a bad connection, tippy1, make sure all your leads are plugged in nice and tightly

 

alll connections seem to be tight, if i put on the antuator the pic is better but still freezes occasionally im getting quite frustrated with this thing any ideas?

hi all according to the VM engineer that came out today the signal rate for the specific box(theirs)is 85% so he isnt going to change it shall i invest in the variable annuator?

Hi folks im back. Well after installing a new pci card due to my compuetr not recognising my usb adapter. I now have come across a new problem. My receiver is not being detected for some reason i have checked all connection and they seem fine. Due to this i keep getting the mesg that the box is not detected and if i would like to download the firmware in boot mode click the ok button below and ac power on the receiver. Also there is a com poort to select also. Anway when i do everything instructed it still comes up with awiting response from your receiver. Im at my wits end now and ready for throwing the thing in the bucket. Nothing seems to go right for. Would anyone be interested in setting up my box for. I will obviously pay for post and packaging and also a fee at your decsretion for your time also.

The box im trying to sort out is pvr ex5000

Cheers folks

 

I presume you have installed the Driver for your PCI card? when you look in Device Manager click the + at the side of coms ports what is the "PCI serial port" com number?

 

Hi guys -

Bought a Eurovox 5000 Pvr and was following your guide on page1 - sorted out the USB with a null modem on COM1 and got the messages as in the screenshots. The download got to 28% and seemed to hang (although maybe I was too impatient). So tried to start again. Now, the box has 0000 instead of ---- when connected. Also, I click download on the firmware screen, it finds the USB cable ot COM2, I connect the Eurovox but it's frozen at that stage.

Then I plugged into the TV to perform a factory reset in case it helped..

Back to PC - same story.

Not sure what I pressed then,but it asked me if I wanted to flash in Boot mode. So I said ok, and now it's trying to detect the PVR on COM2. I certainly had connectivity before, and the device manager looks fine with the USB device on COM2 confirmed there.

All cables are snug, and the box has power.

Any help greatly appreciated!

 

Hey Hi tech! Thanks for the quick reponse. In reply to your question however yes i did install the pci card using the the disk that came with it. At the time it said the hardware had been installed ok. Ive checked on device manager and im getting the following

PCI PARALLEL PORT LPT3
PCI SERIAL PORT (COM4)
PCI SERIAL PORT (COM5)

Thanks

 

Right click PCI SERIAL PORT (COM5) then click on properties,

1, select the port settings tab,

2, Make sure Bits per second is set to the highest settings,

3, Select advanced, (advanced settings box will load)

4, Change COM Port Number pull down box to either 3,2 or 1 .

press ok and try the flash again.




If this dosen't work try swaping the cable to the other serial socket com 4 and try again.
