Have updated many max-v boxes just like instructions on page 1 and again left waiting wit code updating message. What worked for me is inputting new codes straight away after upgrading and rescanning etc. All boxes still working fine.

They work fine without putting in the codes picture updates within minsute, but whatever you feel works for you.
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

I followed SG8 instructions on pg 1 and updated my max v box and it worked perfect, I have done another 6 since and all working fine and updating code only takes arounld 30 secs at a time!, Make sure you input the right symbolrate in when you re scan!

hi folks,
ive been reading your forum for several weeks now and must say firstly that its the best resource ive found on the net for this subject!
The reason for my post is that im having major difficulties connecting my eurovox max v to my laptop. I have the L71BT (Maplin) null modem cable connected to a usb adapter as recommended.
The problem is that when i plug the usb connector into the laptop, the 'found new hardware' wizard starts up but is unable to recognise the hardware and as a result i cant connect to the box to perform any type of update.
Ive tried it on 2 laptops now - one vista and one XP and the result is the same - Unable to install new hardware.
Please help, this is driving me insane and ill be eternally grateful if anyone can suggest what im doing wrong. Thanks in Advance!

If you unplug the box and plug it back in after it says system reset, this often kicks the download into life.

Which firmware did you use and where and when did you get it?
I have used the firmware from this thread. The original one in SG8 first post and the subsequent updates to this over the weekend. I will be the first to confess to not knowing what 'colour' my box is but I don't know if it makes any difference. Just having a scan down this thread and my situation is the same as bigblonde's. At least I'm not alone ;@)

You are having exactly the same problem as me. Hiteck (graciously)is trying to help me get to the bottom of it so I'll let you know what comes of it. I don't suppose you have managed to sort it out?

Will you make sure you have the correct box before trying again, the software is for the EUROVOX MAX V (black front with Silver buttons), will not work with other boxes.

Are you trying to confuse us 1..2..3..2??
Once you have the software on I would think you may just have to do a new scan at his house, you may need to change the symbol rate.
Am not 100% sure on this so someone else may advise better.
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??
