I recently purchased the above eurovox model(ex5000 pvr) and I am having untold trouble trying to get the unit working.Needless to say , im quite the luddite and in my book - ignorance is bliss. However, I would be eternally garteful if you genius' could please help me out -
Having followed the instructions and upon consultation with friends I did the following :
1/ uploaded/flashed the software package (1.0 version) using my p.c and modem provided.
2/ connected the co-axial , scart lead and power cables up correctly.
3/ changed the "symbol rate" to 6.887 , as I am in Dublin and on an N.T.L cable.
4/ innitiated the "fast scan" process , the result - the "level bar" fluctuated and the "quality bar" stuck on "8%" ????
5/allowed the scan to complete, but no channels scanned ?
6/ disconnected unit and uploaded/flashed the newer software (version 1.1) , hoping this would remedy the situation , to no avail ???
- after I scanned the newer software (version 1.1) I checked the "s/w ver" on the unit and it read 1.0 eventhough the subsequent "DNLD" installed the 1.1 version
successfully. I tried through the "fast scan" process again , but the same happened and the unit wouldnt scan properly??
7/ lost patience with the unit and decided to contact you guys !
p.s , Could there be a problem with the "emu rate" ?? does this need to be changed ?? I couldn't access this to ammend it no matter what i tried ??
Could you please forward a step by step guide for this unit and any trouble shooting tecniques.
Have you made sure the coax is in the Cable In socket on the back of the box and not in the Ant In. 1.1A is the latest firmware. If you loaded the FTA only firmware your emu may be off. Press menu, press OK, press 1968 on remote and check it.
