hi everyone, im having a really big problem, i have tried to find the info i need on the forums but no luck, my eurovox tx s/w is 11/11/07 ,i have downloaded the newer version but when i go to flash the box this is what it says, Cant open serial port, last error:the system cannot find the file specified. Please help as i feel my house might be trashed with a eurovox tx shortly! thanks
mate there is countelss post on this issue, use the search button and check for ports its all there http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371
Sorry Michah, should have updated this faster, ive got the bin file and the other thing to flash the box from eamos library but when i execute it nothing happens, it says downloading but stays at 0% forever, i have seen another post with exactly the same problems but there was never a solution posted, any suggestions?
What are you using - a NULL MODEM lead on it's own or with a USB adaptor, if you are using an adaptor then go back to the thread as advised by MICAH and look closely at assigning the COMM port for your USB adaptor. And if you are using Windows Vista, then forget it and get to a PC with Win XP.
hi, what im using at the moment is a 9 pin female female cable, as far as i know this is a null port cable? i have this connected to my laptop with an adapter because the port there is a 15 pin port and im on windows xp
Then you are using an adaptor then - if it is not USB (which it does not seem to be) - then you would be advised to get a loan of a friends standalone PC with the 9 pin serial port on, and if it is USB then it needs to be assigned correctly or it won't be recognised, and the 9 pin lead has to be a NULL MODEM lead, or again it won't work, there are two and they are very similar, check here >>>>>>>>> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371 Exactly the same setup and method, also read Cetic's guide to assigning the USB adaptor, you can try it with the 15 pin - but I doubt, as far as I can see that is your problem. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/663923
hi malci, just flashed the box on the pc no problem, thanks for your help, but, and theres always a but even though my firmware is updated i still have the same problem, only have rte1, setanta standard and three more channels, all the rest are black(no signal or bad) i have done another scan but its still the same, do i have to foactory reset or will this cause me to loose the 23/11/07 firmware and if i do reset will i get channels then, cheers
yep, just did that but nothing still, everything is still the same, and the firware is confirmed on the system info.... sorry malci, i was a bit premature there, the data just updated on the box and now i have all the channels,phew, its been a long day but worth it, thanks everybody for your help, its tv time now, just in time for prison break lol, over and out for now....
What is your provider and is it MMDS? LOL I was just replying to you before your edit, anyway glad you are now OK Cheers
hi malci, back again lol, cheers for all your help, one or two more problems though lol, nothing major....everything has been going grand however yesterday a few of the channels were black so i did a reset and scan, this time it only picked up seventy eight channels instead of the eighty five that i had all along(still have 33 radio) and out of the seventy eight there's maybe four or five that are black, have tried reset and scan a couple of times but no different, any ideas? c*****s....m**s
no scouser nothing, when i installed the box last week i got 33 radio and 85 tv channels, some of the 85 tv were black so i did a reset and scan to see could i get them(which i havent) but when i did that i only got 78 tv channels, im not bothered about the seven missing ones, i couldnt even tell you what they are but i would like to get the four or five that are scrambelled or bad(black)...,cheers
