The New EuroVox PVR

Thanks scOuser for your response.

But after looking through this the thread about the box's specification ( page 1 )and then double checking on the internet site i purchased it from it states......


You can also connect the Hard Drive to a PC and download your Content To Store or Burn on to DVD.

I am confused??????

 

That was the original intention but it has ran into some teething problems.

 

I'm sorry sc0user, but using a partitoning/file system and possibly a file type that Windows can not see and does not understand, is not a "teething problem"

Its the exact same process that the "OTHER" companys use to stop people from accessing the recorded material on their PVR's.

At least with Microsoft using the FAT/NTFS file systems and then perpriatry file formats in MCE/VMC/Fuji its leaving room for a work round, to be found.

Having said that, as these box's are kind of "Open Source" has anyone tried to read the hard drives in Linux or OSX ??

 

I only pass on what has been passed onto me. Its been looked at, my reference to "teething problem" was an anachronism based on the way I post I suppose.

The firmware is not as open sourced as one would like to think even based on linux or not.

 

hi everyone.
I have just bought eurovox ex5000 pvr but can't update it plz help.
regards

 

Hi SCOUSER,
You seem to be very knwoledgable, plz help me in flashing my box as it doesn't seem to show more channels.
regards

 

What is the problem you are having regards updating it?

 

I can't find all the channels, it says scrambled channel. Hope if helps.

 

And have you flashed it yet?

 

I am sorry scOuser i haven't flashed it yet. The thing is i bought it yesterday it's Eurovox EX5000 PVR cable box. I did a full scan but it says scrambled channels on most of the channels but i have no idea what to do next.

 

You need to flash it with version 1.1 firmware which can be found in Eamos at the end of my post. Have you ever flashed a Eurovox before?

 

No scOuser, i have never flashed any box before that's the major problem.
regards

 

Not really you are in the right place. Get the firmware in Eamos and follow this guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371 (Its a guide for Eurovox Max Models), but is exactly the same procedure. But of course using different firmware.

You will need cable or cables dependent on your set up but the guide and firmware will sort you out. Where are you roughly located.

 

hi scOuser,
located in Manchester, will it work on 'Sky' or only 'Virgin'.
regards

 

VM only its a cable box and Sly only works with their own propriety equipment.

 

thnx scOuser, really appreciated. but i have heard that these boxes can even be used with the antenna cable and will receive most of the channels, is that right scOuser?

 

Antenna cable or MMDS in Ireland you need the Eurovox TX. But as you are talking about antenna and are based in the UK, I presume you are taking about DTT freeview and no these are not freeview boxes.

Cable only thats it for the UK.

 

no problem i got it. So what i need to do just follow your procedure and i will be able to flash it. I have ordered cable to connect box to my laptop which i will receive on Monday so will let you know as soon as it's done. Your cooperation is really appreciated.
regards

 

Yep follow the guide,use the firmware, carry out a scan and update channels. Any problems just drop back.

 

thnx scOuser, will do.
