Eurovox 5000 pvr- how to unscramble channels

Hi, have just bought eurovox 5000 pvr, downloaded software and can view listing of channels. CAn only open RTE,TV3 and news channels, everything else is scrambled. Any ideas? thanks

 

What Firmware did you put on the box?

Press menu config system info and type back what is says in there.

After you put the firmware on did you do a factory default then a powerscan with the correct symbol rate?

 

Hi Hiteck,
Thank you so much for coming back. I'm at the stage that i feel like throwing box in bin. Have lost all channels now so decided to download software again, which mightn't have been a good idea. The firmware i used is: http://cablebox.4shared.com.
Menu/config/system info says as follows:
Model: DVB - xc e5000 tda
s/w ver: 1.0 ST4 jul 15 2008
H/w ver: 2.0t K5 +d
bootstrap: V001
S/w build: kuro
Did factory default and it said that it was deleting all channels, symbol rate that came up was 6.952 mbaud, pressed ok and it started to go through 1/770 channels and at end came up 'no transponder to scan'. If you can do anything for me i'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks

 

Where abouts are you and who is your provider, before VM i.e N*L C&W TW?.

 

BTW your Firmware is fine so leave it as it is.

 

i'm in Rathfarnham in Dublin and provider is NTL

 

have you the box set up correctly ie coaxil into rf in on the box and scart lead from telly in to tv scart on the box,also have you an n@l subscription?

 

Afternoon Karl
Do as Karl says and if its still not working,

Menu> Config> Then ok on Clear data,
Type 0000 or 1004,
Ok on Erase all channels then ok again.

wait for it to clear all channel data then,

Press Menu along to instalation then ok on FAST INSTALL, type 0000.

Now press the RED button for advanced install,

a box will then load similar to this.



Enter the information as is above then click ok to scan and wait for the result,

May take a while to scan,
best of luck.

 

Hi Guys,
yes connections were correct. Screen is now showing 'user installation' with ch num/frequency/symbol rate/modulation
quality; is red bar flipping from 2 to 28%
is this right? and will i leave it on or do i press 'ok' to select or red to update channels or yellow to do a power scan.
thanks a mil
Judith

re HiTeck's pic if that didn't appear press ok as long as its set at symbol rate 6.887

 

Guys,
You are sweethearts, up and running. Thanks so much, really appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Judith

 

great glad your sorted judith

 

No probs Judith Glad your up an running

 

Hi Guys,
I'm back again, everything is running smoothly thanks. Just one problem, the clock is set one hour behind and thus the programme listings are also one hour behind. I went into timer settings but it wouldn't let me move the arrows up to change the current time. Any ideas
thanks

From Celtic71.

Unplug the EV for a few seconds, then plug it back in. Immediately go to time settings, set time using GMT. When time is correct turn GMT off and press blue button to save and exit. If you are quick enough this will also work.

OR

1. Set time using GMT.
2. Go to installation, user installation.
3. Press red button to preform an autoscan.
4. When autoscan completes, IMMEDIATELY go to time settings again.
5. Make sure time is still correct.
6. Turn GMT off.
7. Press blue button to save and exit.


DO NOT UNPLUG THE EV as it will default an hour behind and you will have to do it each time you plug it back in , leave it on STAND-BY

 

Cheers, will try when i get home
