Eurovox flashing step by step.

Its ok i given up now. Yes i have installd the driver that came with the usb adaptor and i also have modem cable aswell. Everything is all connected on the compo just now its just not letting me transfer anything for some reason. Still have the com fault. Thanks for the help tho guys

 

Maybe and idea to use a mates PC with a 9 pin serial socket so you dont have to use the USB adaptor, when you feel you have more heart in it pop back and and we will try and help you out.

 

It keeps saying the file sr2pl sys on the usb serial cable diskette is needed but i cant locate it

 

Have located it now but still nothing

 

With the USB adaptor pluged in,
Go to start, then right click my computer, click on properties, Device manager,click on ports (COM & LPT) does it show any errors eg a yellow question mark?

 

Yep i think thats the best idea mate. Thanks for all ur help. Ill let u know how i get on. Thanks once again

 

i had expvr, did that start properties this mentioned above, and put it on Com 1. i got a cd with mine from the cableboxshop, and it had a tutorial on it. in dublin, nt* too. try com one, and then try turning things on and off again. it took me a few tries, but i got it eventually

 

sorry, the writing there was awful. that start, my computer properties thing worked, with com 1. To get to that screen, u need to go right to the advanced part of it, then there's a reboot as far as i remember when you get the download

 

lads, wouldnt mind a bit of other advice if its available. do i need a booster box if i want to run a length of cable from our main ntl digital entry site, upstairs about 15 metres.Or would a good splitter and cable do? I want to split the broadband cable, run it into a tv downstairs, then one upstairs. So, the main signal has a split into the computer, i want to split that cable into the computer, and two tv's (one 2 yards away, and one 15 yards away. Im gonna go buy this stuff in Maplins tomorow, and would appreciate advice on whether it will work and whether i need a booster, and suggested models.

The end intention is to have the pvr upstairs, cos my little brothers are doin my nut in watchin it with their mates downstairs where we have the digital, and i need to watch the football without me oulone wreckin me head

lads, in advance, thanks a million

 

don't think you'll no till you give it a go it will all depend on your signal strenght

 

Hi Karl, hope youre well. if it's bad, would a booster box work? you familiar with them?

 

im grand donkey and you? like everything it all depends on your signal have a look in here signal booster

 

Donkey I know a man that has the main feed coming into his gaff, split it put a connection on to it and put it into a six way splitter/booster and ran 5 feeds to different Tv,s around the gaff and they are all peerfect, he got the booster in peats, I think you can get thenm in Maplins,

 

fair play both of yis lads, ill give that a go tomorrow or friday and let everyone know how it went. Gonna get some serious surround sound into me room, big ass lcd tv up the north for alot cheaper down here (apparently richersounds in belfast will price match currys and post it down to you- the prices in currys compared to here are hundreds cheaper). , got an xbox for me birthday ( im 27 years old,, sad i know...), so ill be gears of warrin it after me match on a saturday, the the football ALL day long. Happy-fkkin days. thanks in no small part to Karljd

 

have to remember that donkey,thats funny i was just telling des i turned 27 as well what a coincedence

 

Hi all,

Just got a EUROVOX EX5000 PVR with 120GB HDD. Managed to update the firmware 2nd time ok and started up ok as well. Manage to do a quick install and the box starts to scan and finds CNN and goes there, and in all finds 11 channnels only. I have left and box to continue scanning, but the ( code being updated ) does not come on screen.
Does anyone know what is wrong. I have tried the right code for the SP I have and have also tried manual install with same result.
The stats are, Frequncy 118.000 MHZ, symbol rate 6.952 for TW, Modulator QAM64 and quality 83%.
I would appreciate any help guys.

Regards,
Frank

 

Do a factory reset and powerscan again from the direct feed.

 

Frankie, i found the same thing until i put it at the signal source, now ive nudey women and all sorts of foreign news channels on my tv . i tried it in another room, and got about 30 channels, and they were all scrambling up, and never clear. Get to the sourrce mate, or do what im doin- buyin a booster and some decent cable so i can have it upstairs

 

Hi folks! New to this site and is my first post hope someone can help,just got eurovox ex5000 pvr put on software, scanned on 6887 and 6925 and got no channels i`m in the northeast of england and on n*l/v*r*i*

 

What firmware did you use and I presume you have the coax from the direct feed into the Cable In socket on the back of the box. Also presuming you have a live feed.
