Does a bit with the box facing you, look down through the grills on the top right hand side of the EV. You will see the silver tuner, count how many grill slots it takes up. Post back the info please.

Not good as there is no Red box, (which is what you have), fix as yet. Are you sure its a clone box?

Good news then, always nice to double check :) Download and flash the latest Red box firmware 21/04/08. You will find it in Eamos FTA Library at the bottom of my post.
Have you flashed a box before? Quite easy.

Lenny's thread will tell you how as will a few other threads here. You will need either a serial PCI card or a USB to serial adapter in conjunction with the null modem cable, again these are quite cheap on fleabay.
Or as you said just bring it to a standalone pc this will have the required 9 way serial port.

There is a 'start' button in the same pop up box and I've clicked it but it says that the reciever is not detected and says I have to download in 'boot mode' and gives 4 COM options. I've tried all 4 options (COM 4 and 2 don't work) but COM 1 and 3 just say 'waiting for the response of your receiver' but it's been waiting for aages with nothing coming up! I have a 2008 EUROVOX V black box if that helps. I don't know what to do somebody PLEASE HELP ME!!
Is it definitely a NULL MODEM lead that you have?
Hi SG8 I checked it again and went on the Maplins website to discover it isn't actually a null modem! In the shop they state it as a null modem how stupid is that?! I think it's a really common problem and I'm sure you get a lot of people like myself making what must seem like such a simple and silly mistake but thank you anyway for replying to it. I have changed it for a null modem and its working.
Initially I was a bit worried about downloading the software but I have to say your step by step guide worked like a dream. They are really simple and easy to understand so thank you very much. The only thing is I'm stuck at step 11? I'm on n*l in Leicester. I originally scanned the symbol rate in at 6.952 but came up with 8% quality under a blank table. I've tried to do a full power scan but have no idea what symbol rate to put in or how to go back a page (before the scan) and change it. I've loaded the Kuro '28_04_08T' firmware for the 8% problem but it doesn't downlaod instead the COM3 stuff keeps happening where it states that it is 'waiting for the response of reciever'. I don't know what to do and this is completly alien to me. The only way I've got so far is by following the steps oin the first post so anyone please help!!! (sorry it's so long but I'm completly stuck!)

I'm trying that at the moment. There are only 3 symbol rates available and if this one deosn't work then I'll try the last one. Thank you so much for replying. I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow for someone to reply I really appreciate it!
