Eurovox flashing step by step.

Hi, used firmware ex5000-v1.1a got from eamos library and im direct to cable, got starview 3 working ok upstairs

 

Hi lads,

Flashed amny Eurovoxs before but done my first 2008 MaxV today. Flashed with no problems but when I turn it in the screen on the tv is blank (no channels tuned obviously) but no buttons on the remote will work except standby? I've tried 3 different remotes with the same result...

Any ideas?

 

Factory reset and try it at the Starview feed. If it still doesnt work, reflash and scan again.

 

What firmware did you flash with and where did you get the Max V?

Thanks for the replies guys. I live in block of flats and it appears the signal strength is poor. I have ordered a booster which I hope will fix the problem. The cable is sticking out of the wall next to the power sockets in the living room and its the only one I have. I don't know where it leads too. If any of you guys have any other sugestions it would be much appreciated.

 

Factory reset and try it at the Starview feed. If it still doesnt work, reflash and scan again. hi,sc0user did as u sed and it work at treat many thanks, just got a problem now with hard drive it is Cumming up with hard drive full or not installed any advice will be mostly appreciated.

 

Turn off the EV. Take out the HDD, plug it back in. Try a recording and then it will recognise the drive.

Have you tried to reflash the box? if not do it again.

 

Hi,Witch receiver are we talking about starview or eurovox 2008 (not pvr) there seem to be a mix-up between the two thanks DJ.

 

Hi,

I recently bought the Eurovox EX5000 PVR and am trying to flash it. I'm having trouble with the USB to RS232 adapter. I've installed the driver for it but my computer still won't recognise it. It didn't come with the driver so got it off the internet. I have windows xp.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working?

Any help appreciated. Thanks

 

Hi All, I'm new to all this, and wanted to thank you guys for all the help I got from this thread, brilliant. I have a quick question. Got a EX5000 and flashed it as per instructions on page 1. Scanned for channels and got everything I need. I noticed Pay Per View channels still scrambled on N*L midlands, are these normally still locked or is there a different Firmware/Software that unlocks these. I'm not greedy and glad of the channels that I have got already, but it would be a bonus to get the PPV films and porn. Firmware used was UFL ex50001.1a. Apologies if this question seems trivial or offends.

 

Have a look at page 1 of this thread, regarding Comm Port set up.

 

Adult channels don't broadcast until past the watershed. PPV channels e.g. Boxing, wrestling etc, you will get when they are broadcast. V.O.D. channels e.g. Filmflex you will not receive, (well unless you are lucky and scan one in if someone in you area has ordered one), as it requires talkback. Which all these STBs dont have for obvious reasons.

 

Thanks for the reply sc0user. It's good of you to help us newbie's.
