Homer, make sure you get the NULL MODEM lead, an ordinary RS232 lead looks the same but it will not work.


Hiteck, any chance you could change the image in your Sig? The flashing one was really annoying but the Moancehster one is just taking the piss!! lol

Well done and thanks TrishG, criosdubh and whoever else succeeded.

I have a Eurovox Max (this is on the front of box). how do I decide
what software to update with i.e Max Red or Max Blue or Kuro 3 .

No way of finding out what colour box it came in. The Eurovox itself is dark grey/black in colour.

I am newbie to this type of box so sorry if this is a v. stupid question and the answer is looking at me !.


Thanks

Argh!- give up Ive punched in the latest codes. I know that i can not access a port my computer doesnt see as a drive,file etc.

I can set up a nun modem on com1, but afer that no diffrence neither the update or any other versions will allow me to download my channel listing off the box, or upload the latst firmware.

I dont want to irritate people with what is probably piss-easy to expierenced eurovox owners so i will carry on punching in codes manually until is doesnt work and the sling it in the loft lol!

What happens when you try to download the update? Do you get any error message at all?

The NULL MODEM cable could be the problem, especially if it is not really a NULL MODEM CABLE!!

Update: I just googled that part number you quoted and it would appear to be a regular serial cable and NOT a null modem, so now you know what your problem is.

Great post SG8, thanks a million. Just one question, at step 11 however it found none no channells and when i went in to do a manual search it said no transponder to scan. Has anyone else had this problem?

---

Thanks for that, are you sure you have the correct symbol rate 6.887 or 6.952 ?
