Hi scouser, remember me.

You helped me pick a box and get it up and running.

I have a eurovox mav v 2008 july software edition that i purchased on ebay.

Can you explain how i update the box please, do i need to go to maplins to buy a cable to connect the box to my computer ,.??

I hope i dont get any trouble with this as i have had no problems since plugging the box in. Is th eupdate a must.???

 

Hi i have downloadede the folder from the link provided thanks.

And have read the.txt seems a must to update.

Would you mind please explaining to me how to do this thanks.

I have no cable to connect computer to pc would, you be able to adviose what cable i ned ( i have a laptop with just usb connections, network card and a vga out) ALL THOUGH I DO HAVE A VERY OLD PC WITH USB'S and some connectors on the back that i have never used ( i think a rj32 cable would connect to them).

Thanks Celt I went MIA for a while

 

Whats the problem scouser mines working perfect

 

Basically a batch of boxes have developed a problem and have died as a result. Although this is seen as a fix I am not sure if it is the definitive one, as we will have to see if this solves the problem. Time will tell.

 

Thanks best wait and see what happens then gettting addicted to this site scouser

 

No problem and yes it can become quite addictive indeed

 

I would recommend updating your box as I have had 2 boxes die on me in the last couple of weeks. A message appears saying this box has developed a fault please contact your supplier and then dies. At least I have a couple of E500 bookends now!!!!

 

Just send them back as they should be covered under warranty.

 

No problem Hope you had a good weekend Scouser

 

Yes but suffering for it now

 

have downloaded the new firmware for the black box.but it will only allow me to download channel data files onto my box.how do i download software onto the box.

 

I presume it is this critical update you are taking about as this is the latest firmware available for the Max V.

 

scouser
one of the other threads for eurovox no sound on box,firmware and rescan done and no sound,bad problem?

 

Does this mean if I don't update my eurovox that it is liable to 'die'? It is currently working fine - although I did have one 'die' on me last week, just thought it was dodgy machine. Please advise.

Thanks, First post so be gentle.

I've downloaded the update - do I just connect up the box to my pc and click on the application icon or is there more to it. I would be grateful if someone could point me to any guidance walking a newbie through a step by step process.

Thanks in advance
