    Ello, new to this forum but seems like the place to be to get help with my dvb stuff.

    Well anyway, onto the problem...I've bought a Eurovox EX5000 PVR, but it isnt working.

    When i try to flash firmware onto it it does not recognise its there. I've looked at loads of threads on it and all the ideas just don't work.

    Any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    Are you using a null modem cable or a combination of null modem and a USB adapter?
