    So here it is:

    Connect up the digivox T as instruction in box
    (I assure that you have all you need to get this working OK)

    1. When you turn on the box a screen will appear if not PRESS menu, then PRESS Installation (a screen with stars on it will appear)
    2. Choose Automatic Scan then PRESS Ok
    3. It will now perform a scan for channels and radio
    4. When the scan is complete the box will start to UPDATE let it
    5. When the scan is complete it will try to put on a channel NOW if it starts to UPDATE again… (it will go from 0% to 220% etc)(your codes are wrong this is why)
    6. Press Menu (the star page will appear)
    7. Choose the BOTTOM STAR System Information This will tell you about you box…. DATE,BOX DESCRIPTION etc
    8. While this screen is there….
    9. PRESS 1004 on the remote and a secret screen will appear…Now this is what you need to do next
    10. CHOOSE EMU and turn it ON (this must be always ON)
    11. There are 3 lists…. On the left in GREY
    12. CHOOSE NAV (the top one) now a new screen will appear
    13. Choose PROVIDER and arrow over to CHxxxS
    14. Now arrow down to 00 should be there (leave it alone for now)
    15. Arrow down one more you will see numbers and letters that look like this 2E FF B5 76 78 etc… This is where your new codes go OK…
    16. Please note that you will have to get this codes yourself as this site will not accept me showing them here sorry
    17. When you typed in your first codes you ARROW UP to 00 and ARROW RIGHT to change it to 01
    18. Now ARROW down and install the next set of codes
    19. LETS REVISE…. Change PROVIDER to CHxxxs (by arrowing right on remote control )
    20. LEAVE 00 alone and ARROW down to put in set of codes
    21. ARROW UP to 00 and ARROW RIGHT to change 00 to 01
    22. ARROW down to change codes
    23. PRESS STORE (twice to be sure)
    24. NOW if the codes are correct the channels will be there IF NOT it will start UPDATING again (you have the wrong codes installed)
    25. So get the right ones and repeat.. PLEASE REMEMBER doing this for the first time may seem hard but after a few attempts it will be easy…

    Please note that you have to POWER the Ariel and get a small box(don’t know what its called) but it has a socket for TV and a socket for ARIEL
    Also on the digivox T remote:
    To get A you press PAUSE on the remote
    To get B you PRESS AUDIO on the remote (sorry if I have this backwards)
    To get C you PRESS the RED button on the remote
    To get D you PRESS the GREEN button on the remote
    To get E you PRESS the YELLOW button on the remote
    To get F you PRESS the BLUE button on the remote
    (or what ever colour the buttons are going across the bottom)

    as promised
    PS…. I done this from memory so mess with it you wont break it….

    If you have flashed the correct firmware (ie v3300) then none of the above is necessary.There is no need to enter ANY codes manually.

    The newest firmware allows the box to autoroll when codes are changed.

    Otherwise codes will have to be manually found and entered when the keys roll.

    all boxes sold are freeview only,meaning u will need to flash/upgrade box with a program called firmware to get it to work properly,u will need a null modem cable for putting firmware on box,do u have pc with xp and a serial port?

    hi folex9

    as glog said above in another post
    you can flash the box with the new firmware (this is the best way)
    when the codes ROLL (change) the box will find them
    i presume you got a grey lead with the box (well i did with mine)

    to do this you connect the grey lead (RS232 i think) it has 9 pins
    from the digivox T to you computer

    THIS IS FROM ANOTHER POST:

    How to update your digivox firmware

    1. Connect the digivox to your pc using the RS232 cable via the serial port. This would be the grey cable that came with your box.

    2. Download the loader for the software. You will need to download and install a program called Winrar or any other file compression program such as 7zip. Double click on the loader zip file, highlight the downloader 10 file, click extract, and select to extract the loader file to your desktop.Source: Digital Kaos http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f10/digivox-firmware-au-fixes-22-12-08-a-15393/

    3. Now download the appropriate firmware from the first post for either your digivox or digivox XL box. Again you will need to extract the file, which will be a .bin file.

    4. Now double click on the black and white downloader 10 icon. Turn on your box. Click the browse button (incorrectly spelt bwrose) , and navigate to and select the firmware bin file.

    5. Make sure app file is checked, click download. Now wait for the progress bar to fill, and a dialogue box to appear which will say download complete. Not sure about the XL, but for the digivox while the firmware was downloading the front of the box displayed the progress of the download. (reaches 100 when complete) For me the download paused at 96 and 98.

    6. Once download has completed, a diaogue box says "download complete". Wait for the box to say ON. Then turn it off, exit the loader and disconnect the box from your PC.

    7. Connect the box back up to your tv, go to the menu, select factory setting, press OK and confirm you want to reset the box to factory setting.

    8. Perform an full automated scan to pick up the channels. Do this by selecting Installation from the main menu, higlight automatic scan, select Telewest at the bottom and press OK. Now repeat this, but select another area at the bottom. Once you have scanned all areas (Telwest, NTL, C&W, Chorus and OM) go back to the main menu.

    9.Now go to system information, press OK. (You should see here that the information on this screen confirms the firmware you have downloaded, has succesfully downloaded to the box.) Press 1 0 0 4 to access another menu. On this new menu turn emu ON.

    10. Go to any subscription channel (such as Sky Sports 1), wait for the data to be upated and your all done!

    THE BEST THING TO DO HERE IS READ THIS A FEW TIMES OR PRINT IT OUT:

    you will need an exe file called: DOWNLOADER_10
    and you will also need the latest .bin file

    this is what is required from the instructions above

    give a good look around the site for the 2 files DOWNLOADER_10 + .bin file
    I FOUND IT TRY HERE and look for DIGIVOX
    plaese read all the instructions

    ps folex9,

    its was all new to me to a few days ago too
    but with the help of the people on this site all is well and running
    a few things to note and to all
    PLEASE bookmark all the pages that are helpful to you
    as you will have to come back to them again and again

    and another thing too GIVE a good look around this site as a lot of the questions are answered before

    you do know that you will have to power the aerial!!

    The RS232 cable (grey) is here already give a look around the site
    But the downconverter is NOT
    here is what it looks like:
    http://www.made-in-china.com/image/4f0j00QRtTLEadWpyfM/MMDS-Down-Converter-YH4023-.jpg
    its the black power lead (the other 2 in the pic are the aerial joined)
    this is how it works:
    the lead from the aerial goes into the socket called DOWNCONVERTED
    and the other lead from the digivox T goes into the part called TV
    this is the bronze metal connected by a thin lead to the adapter that go into the wall for power

    please note DOUBLE CHECK everything here as you are working with electricity and that can be "DANGEROUS"
