Im not sure about the Chor*S MMDS system , The B0x-T will work on Chorus MMDS and you can find the Firmware/Software at the bottom of my post in Eamo's Library in "THE B0X T" folder.
You will also need a NULL MODEM CABLE to update it as some b0xes only come with FTA firmware and it will not allow you to access the menu to receive ALL channels
When the b0x arrives you can come back to this thread if you get problems and someone will help you out when they see this
Null Modem Cable

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

Jay 86,
How did you get on with your box.Just curious why did you pick the box-T as opposed to the TX?

i dont know really why i went for the box-t it hasnt arrived yet unfortunately the shipping was free so will probably take longer than expected, do you think the tx is a better box??

its 86 channels my mistake im in midlands, i have a new problem tho and would be grateful if somebody could help, the chorus aerial is going to an 8 way splitter in the attic one of the outputs on the splitter is going to my room now but the screen "no signal" appears in my room although the same splitter has an output going to the sittin room and i can get all the channels in the sittin room, how could this be, also i see a small black box at the back of the box in the sittin room like a downconverter or something what is this

think that black box is the power supply. an eight way splitter seems like a lot. did u have multi room with C****S. how many box T have you. my set up is the same only its not an eight way splitter.i have 2 eurovox TX working no problem. maybe check your signal strenght and quality. mine is up around 85% on both. dont know if thats any use.BTW also in midlands

see i got stung from a lad before he charged me 500euro to get a sagem box in and he installed the splitter and wired up all the attic and everything so when the box t arrived (i only have one)i just plugged out the sagem box and plugged in the box t and it worked perfect, so i then brought it down to my room where it was inteded for but still no joy i cant find out whats stopping it working

so is the whole thing his work ie aerial and all or do u have a C****S subscription and he just put in the splitter end of it?someone on another thread says that u can lose a small bit of power when using splitters, i have not got this problem though. did u ever have anything working off the extra point. plug in the box and connect it and check the signal
