yes they all went down on the 17th chewball, is this the fix you have put on your box, this is for the Eurovox EX 5000 PVR I don't think that you had this fix at the time you stated, so you do need to put this one on your box okay >>>

Now I did leave you a message here >>>>

So I hope this clears up the confusion, with the dates and all. because at the time that you put the firmware on your box, you did not need the UK fix in Ireland.

You can if you wish go to here and pick up the firmware for you box, courtesy of Hiteck >>>>>>>>>>

Have a eurovox max v & sucessfully flashed it the last time this all happened with a null modem cable.
Now however I had to get a usb to serial connection & a gender changer. Problem is the device (usb-serial)is picked up by Win XP & set to com 3, so far so good.
I connect up & power on the box but its not discovered when th e software is run I tried the boot method & the software just says waiting for the response.
My assumptions are as follows
1. the serial to usb device is functioning correctly as it was picked up by Win XP.
2. The box is OK as it still functions albeit without channels.
The device came with drivers, which I installed, then rolled back in favor of older drivers as posted on the forum.
I can only assume I have some incorrect settings
but the com port is set as follows
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Parity none
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control none
I have tested it with use FIFO buffers turned off.no use.
I am now officially headwrecked, and probably blind to something small I am missing any ideas.
Could the serial port onthe box have failed? how do I test it.
As no one seems to have null modem cables in stock I ordered one at 11.40pm last night from the UK

I successfully updated my eurovox tx with new patch, but almost all the channels cracks for unknown reason. I have tried rescanning channels several times but still same. During the crackings it blanks-out and briefly write 'scramble or bad channel'. Is anyone experiencing that? Thanks a million.

Over the past few day's I'm experiencing the same with certain channels. No matter what box I have hooked up some of my channels are breaking up and some are getting no signal. The worst freq for me is 347.500. I can't seem to scan any channels in on this even on a manual scan. I hooked up my The Box and pressed the s.l button on the control and I notices the signal strength would go to 80 odd % and then down to 0% and then back up again. It seems the signal is fluctuating bad for me on that freq for some reason.
So I'm thinking it's nothing to do with the firmware you used but the signal strength, but what's causing it I don't know :\

Hi Sandisc
I had that problem befor and what it turned out to be was the connection going into your eurovox. Get a shorter cable or put on a new connector.
Hope this helps

Hello guys,
I have the Eurovox pvr ex5000 all connected correctly and firmware updated. I'm just having problems with the channel scanning. I'm in down South,between Southampton and Portsmouth which Sym Rate should I use? I'm with virgin media. Portsmouth don't have any Sym rates on the area code document?
Cheers!

I think it's 6887 for your area.

Hi thanks for the quick response, I've put that in and nothing picks up it just has the blue screen with level and quality green going up and down. It then has TP : 000 across the centre of the screen. When it's finished there isn't anything? It should definetely work if I have VM broadband?

Yeah it's in the correct socket at the back. I'm not sure what im doing wrong! I have tried that aswell. Not sure why it's not picking up anything. How do I check I have the correct flashed software on the there? I flashed it earlier all seem to go fine... any other ideas?

Answer each question,
1,Has it ever worked at your house before,?
2, is your cable feed live, have you paid your bill?
3, Can/have you try your own subbed box (the one you get with your subscription) in its place to check for cable company problems.
4, have you set it up as per this post >> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371#4103005
If you read that carefully and your cable feed is live without cable company problems it should work.
To check whether it's flashed go to Menu, Config, System info and type back what it says in there.
