2 Problems with EX5000 (since N2 fix)

silver heatsink similar to starview 4 indicates its a clone,cleary seen through the vents on top of box hope this helps

 

okay - don't want to open up it up but I found a pic online last night and reckon this is what mine looks like inside:

 

That box looks ok to me, it doesnt have the heat sink as far as I can tell. But your problem does sound like what happens to clones when they get bricked, it may need to be jtagged but im not sure how to do that and im not 100% certain eurvox's can be jtagged, im sure the good people on here will be able to tell you.

 

You have an original not a clone
I opened mine last night and I have the same as pictured.
Heatsinks are the clone boxes

 

thanks kopkidda & thanks reb021. your advice is greatly appreciated.

re your picture reb021 - this is not a pic of an ex5000 box but I guess the point you are making is I should see something similar to the heatsink on my board.

would someone in the know be willing to build a thread on how to spot a EX5000 clone? I read somewhere that you can tell by the warranty sticker on the side/back of the unit and that genuine boxes have eurovox written whereas the clones have eurovox 5000 on them. I'm fairly confused as my sticker definitely has eurovox 5000 written but yet the interior looks fine.

Hiteck has a link in Eurovox Firmware & Flashing guide: http://www.4shared.com/file/110975743/55ef4b1c/Real_or_Clone_find_out_here.html
When I downloaded the file it doesn't appear to be for the EX5000 - I think it might be for the older Max V boxes.

 

anyone know how to jtag eurovox 5000??

[ Lads I had the exact same problem and got it fixed. press menu----language--1968 and make sure that emulation is set to enable.

Then exit out and go to sky sports and if you have uploaed the latest .cdf channel file onto the eurovox it will show immediately,if not you may have to wait for it too unscramble. ]

kopkidda i can't find where to enter the 1968. I've an ex 5000 PVR. I can get the menu, language, and then 4 options all of which are set to ENGLISH. Emulation is enabled. Just can't find out where the 1968 comes into the equation. Can you guide me please.

 

I have the same issue... although can't even see where "emulation" is set to either on or off?

 

i'm not getting all the channels i had before getting around 100 also getting some channels listed ch 1 ch2 ch3 etc and they are giving me a flickering picture should i flash it again. Don't get me wrong i'm not complaining delighted to have the rest back

 

go into settings, turn on signal boost and rescan the box

 

LeTiss when you press menu and then go into language you will have 4 lines on the screen I think, then press 1968 and a 5th will appear saying emulation, this has to be set to enabled, if yours is set to enabled then this is correct,save and exit out. Make sure the cable is in the rf in at the back.Hope this helps.

 

turned on the signal boost the channels came back named but still flickering any more ideas its lfc home and a few more still gettin a few unnamed as well also for some reason when i take a loop of the back of the box to another tv i lose signal on the main box

 

sounds like a low signal? do you have any splitters eg:to feed other tv's, or is cable going direct from port in wall to box.

 

cable is goin in direct no splitters and it worked in this box before they were shut down about 6 weeks ago

 

thanks to all for giving me back my life, everything worked as stated, you guys are the biz, thanks alot

 

lads i still have scrambled channel, ive done the 1968 thing and nothing changed i have 3e and rte in in dublin please help

 

Read the KOPKIDDA post 4 or five posts above yours and follow that.
When you enable emulation save and exit.

 

thanks for the help so far i feel so close i just need a push over the line,i done the 1968 and the emulation is on enable and saved,i have all channels listed but all except 3e and rte say scrambled channell. any ideas?
