Dont ask this question

Hi all, I have scoured the cursed net looking for this question and even better the answer to this question. I recently got a eurovox m3 from the uk, after trying it with ntl basic in Dublin, it doesnt work. does a full power scan but cant find a single channel. Has anyone any idea if any modification or change has to be done to the box for it to work in ireland? cheers for any input!

 

Isn't NTL in Dublin on MMDS? A cable box won't work.

 

No mate its cable but dont know anything about eurovox

 

Try flashing the f/w there was a new one released 14 Feb, it might have no firmware loaded

 

Thanks for replies, i've changed the box so will have another try in a few days when it arrives.

 

Hi again guys,
ok so i received the new box and it seems to do virtually the same as the old one.
Does anyone know if there are any internal tweaks to be done for it to work in Ire?
Please PM me if you wish to keep any info discrete.
Thanks again!!

 

Is the channel scan working?

 

it will power scan for around 20 mins, will appear to find 25 channels (none of them visible). while it scans i noticed there is no "channel number" its a blank box.

 

Do you get NTL mmds via mmds aerial or central mmds mast?

 

Im not sure, im not very techy about that, maybe this link answers your question,
http://www.ntl.co.uk/locales/ie/en/athome/mmds_digi_tv.html

I live in Dublin

 

I know what mmds is.
You should know if you have a mmds aerial on the roof or if there is a mmds mast around the corner.

 

ok well theres no aerial on my roof, we receive the signal direct from a cable, no decoder box was ever required (dont know if this info helps...)

 

If you get analogue channels from a NTL feed its true cable.
Set the symbol rate to 6887 for scanning.

 

i tried that on full and normal, doesn't seem to matter.

 

Try the box at a other cable feed.

 

Delete all channels by going into channels menu. Then AUTO SCAN it by using red button in INSTALLATION MENU.

OR may be your cable connection is not properly fixed (Check all your cables physicall connections) Once you physically checked it then check it with your box on as
Best thing to check if your cable is ok or dead is to follow the steps below

Turn on your euromax
Press MENU
Go on to INSTALLATION
press user installation
enter your pin which is 0000
Now on next screen right in the middle a bar says
QUALITY and it moves turns green and red
If yours turns green and stays green that means your cable connection is right and you can watch channels, if it stays red that means you either got a loose connection or ah wait a minute (make sure your cable input behind box is in top right slot)
If its green then follow instructions on the top

 

are u sure you can get digital in your area.and just for future reference to other members i dont think anywhere in dublin is mmds,its only used in the styx

 

Hi guys, I got it working, eventually. I cleared all chanels and then done a factory reset (to 6887- i have the red box) straight afterwards. For some reason they needed to be done together.
The scanning (Power scan) is terrible and have found the best way to insert freqs manually, ( frequencies I got from a nearby friend).
Thanks for all the input!

 

Just for future refernce I don't think anywhere in dublin is true cable. You have to check your local area by yourself.
Btw. NTL mmds is functional with cable boxes but the scan of the not so good boxes has problems.

 

hi lepruchan
im in dublin an got a eurovox. did a powerscan but only got some of the channels..can you tell me how you install the frequencys manually? can you pm me the list? thanks......
