I've got a Eurovox MaxV that I'm having trouble with. I got it around Xmas and it's been working perfectly, around I went away for a few months and lent the box to my friend. I've not gotten it back and it didn't have any channels on it. Having followed the guide on the first page to the letter, it still won't pick up any channels. The cable going into the box is good, since I get channels on my TV when I plug it in. When I do the scan it's just not picking anything up. Can anyone help me please or know what's going on?

Hi, I have followed the steps above for the EUROVOX EX5000 PVR and installed the software but it only finds 11 channels.

I used the sym rate: 6.952 (I live in Surbiton and it was blank on the list) the cable provider is VM and was Telewest before that.

When it scanned the bit that said TP 0000 changed to TP 0001 (no idea what that is). So anyway, it only finds 11 channels not even the standard channels such as BBC and other free channels.
I use a splitter.

Please can someone help?
Many thanks.

Take the splitter away and scan from the direct feed. Use the same symbol rate, start at 115.000Mhz and end at 670.000Mhz.

This Information was gathered from Eamo's Library and SG8s Max V Firmware thread so thanks go to these and everyone involved.

How to put the firmware onto your box.

1. Connect your Eurovox unit to your PC using the Null modem serial cable as shown above in the other post.

2. Plug in the power cord on the Eurovox unit and wait until (----) appears on the front display. If it has been flashed before you will see 4 digits instead

3. On your PC/Laptop Run the UFL Eurovox program which you downloaded in the post above.





3a (Optional recommended step to save you time) Press the Upload button to save your channel set up favourites etc as they currently are, Save this to a folder on your PC for use later.

4.Click on the 'download' button then wait until you see the following and click start..




If you do not see this ? check your connections between pc & Eurovox, also if you get the mesage system reset, turn your box off at the mains, hit the download button then plug your box in, (this may require a few attemps).

5. Now download will start and you will see the following,




Eurovox unit will now show dnld flashing on the front display.

6. After the above window ? the following will display




7, When all is finished the following will display,




Now your box is done,

If you did the optional step at 3a, then browse to where you saved your file (CDF file) and click download in the lower box on the Kuro program, and it will reload your favourites etc. as you originally had them.,If not you will have to rescan your box using the power scan method, Make sure you get your symbol rate correct OTHERWISE YOUR BOX WILL NOT FIND CHANNELS.

Did you try this on page 1,

Thanks to celtic71 for this post.

Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your eurovox.

To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

If you need drivers go here

http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm

Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *)

Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.

conis the instructions on how to config your ports are above,

If I was to talk you through it I would just be repeating whats already posted, Once you have changed com 9 to either 1,2,3,4 you should be fine,

Here have a look at this and when you try to config your ports make sure you have the USB adaptor pluged in otherwise you wont see it in the com properties.

I did a power scan from 100.000Mhz - 800.000Mhz+ and it's still the same 11 channels eg. discovery and animal planet.
Still no BBC etc

Any more suggestions?
