I have recently purchased a eurovox ex5000 pvr and cannott access the menu to set up the channels. Can anyone tell me how i access the secret menu. Thank you Starsailor
You don't access secret menu to set up channels you must first flash the box with the latest firmware, you will find the information in the link marked EUROVOX at the bottom of post, have a read of that first.
Thanks Malci without sounding thick, i presume i now need to connect the box to my computer? Do i need a special lead etc. Starsailor
Yes it is called a NULL MODEM lead, there is two serial leads and both are very similar, one is a straight through serial and is no good to you - so you need the correct one go to the link and have a look at the graphics okay, >>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371
Having got the required cables, i cannotnow download the required thread. When i try to open the link to save the sofware to my PC as described, the window stays blank. Any assistance would be grateful Sailor41
Hi sailor41, just tried the link and it is fine, what operating system are you using, and is there any antivirus software you are running that might be causing you problems. Also you can try to download it from Eamo's FTA Library at the bottom of my post and see if you can get it from there, at least it will pin point the problem and see whether it is your PC that is at fault. Click on link then click on Eurovox 4th down and then click on Eurovox PVR, then into Firmware this is the name of the file you want UFL_ex5000_v1.1a.zip don't forget to unzip it when you do get it.
Thanks Malci, worked fine at last. One last smag, i can only get 90 or so programmes, no pie sports etc. I am using N-L (V---gin). WWhat frequency should i be tuning to. Many thanks for your help so far Sailor41
It should be 6.887 VM in the UK, (need your area for more specific info) try a Factory Default and a Full powerscan on that frequency, you should be able to get them okay.
Hi Malci got nearly all the channels now mate so thanks for that. I adjusted the scanning frequency to 200 through 400 when i do a power scan following factory reset. What should it be so it scans the whole range? ssuming thats why i cant get sports etc. Many thanks again
Depends on what part of the UK you are in but a scan setting from 100 to 800Mhz will pick them all up. Just a longer scan.
