It looked like a 2007 box.

If it is a clone box, can new software be put onto it?

8. It will then ask you to select the symbol rate (I use 6.887 as I am on NThell Dublin).not sure if this matters at this stage though.

9. Press OK when 'Reset to Factory Default Settings' comes up

10. It will then say 'Wait to Factory Settings' and will then start to do a Full Power Scan (using the Symbol rate you selected earlier or you can change the symbol rate here)

11. It will then search through for channels, Go and make a cup of tea while it works away, do not interrupt it until it finishes.

12. It wil then exit to allow you to view your programs, but the code being updated message will probably come up for a while,

Hi Redrover, I had the same problem...

1 Make sure the box is powered off
2 Connect the null modem cable
3 Launch the application
4 Click download and then power up the box, choose the COM port that your box is connected to

It should detect and download the firmw@re.

Hey lads, back again

So i checked it my box was legit or a copy by opening it up.
Its authentic, and i also checked whether it was RED/BLUE
It was red

I used the "UFL_Max_RED_21_04_08.exe" to update the box.

This seemed to work fine

I managed to reach stage 11 here, it scanned through all teh channels.
However, once the Power Scan finished...it was brought to the menu showing channels/frequencies and there were no channels visible.

The rate at the bottom was 8% but i could not select any channels at all. Another power scan yielded the same results.

I was also unable to quick scan.

Any ideas ? I feel that i have come to a halt here

As you can see they have a red box and the fix you have put up is for the eurovox 2008 black box only that is the one that suffers from the 8% problem i would say if the put that on Red or Blue boxes 1 it will either kill them or 2 it will not go on and if it does it wont work
