It's not a problem providing you do have the correct drivers installed, and correct COMM port assigned, it is a lot more hassle free to have an old laptop or a standalone PC with the correct 9 pin port, and running OS - XP. But check out dooby's graphical guide as well as HiTecks excellent guide to doing the COMM port part, different box (Starview Super), only want you to check/follow the assigning bit, good luck, it is with regards to Vista.

Are you sure that you have the correct NULL MODEM lead, and that you are showing a little patience when you get that message, because it is quite common and usually will change to "Download Successful" after a short while. Go to HiTeck's guide for a complete how too on the first page of this thread.

 

Hi Malci,

I bought a Eurovox ex 1000 sl about a month ago and downloaded the software for Ireland, but although it does work it has constant episodes of picture freezing, maybe its when the codes or changing I don't know but its very annoying. Do you know if there is a genuine problem with these boxes or maybe the sofware on them? I'd really appreciate if you could let me know if you've heard of any problems regarding this box as I'm thinking of buying a different box.

Cheers.

 

try the latest firmware you will find it HERE

 

Haven't got one to hand, but I have not heard anyone complain at all about any problem glitchs, check your signal level, as to high a signal level will cause you to have a bit of pixelation and picture problems, maybe it is high, around the 80 - 82% is about right, if ir is higher then you might try an attenuator, I personally use a 6db and a 10db, about a quid in Maplins. Sorry I can't help anymore than that, but I think that Hiteck might have one and could give you more information as regards your problem, karlid and obviously scOuser.

EDIT:- As karl said overleaf, try the latest firmware, should have mentioned that.

 

I have checked the signal while the freezing was happening and have seen the signal at 85 -86% so that might be the problem. I have an attenuator already so I'll connect that and see if it fixes the problem. I'll let you know if it sorts it.

cheers Malci.

 

That's the uk fix. Will that work in Ireland?

 

hi malci,

i have done everything accordint the process, but dont know what happend.

is there any way that i can download old firmwere & than do the upgard?

Niel

 

yeah should be no problem,never seen seperate firmware for both countries for eurovox.ps 85%-86% should be perfect.

 

cheers Karljd, will try that.

 

Hi guys can somebody tell me how I can change a rar file to a bin file.
My computer is screwed up and everytime I download the update to flash my Eurovox box it keeps reading invalid file.
I use the DnUpMan v4.0 to load the firmware to my box but can't seem to change the file so that it wil accept it.
I have in the past just pasted it to teh box and loaded it but for some reason it wont accept it.
I think the problem started when I tried to open an earlier file and used explorer by mistake. Now everytime I download a fix it automatically saves it to explorer.
I have been into properties but cant seem to be able to change it.
Any help would be great!

 

you will need winrar to extract that file

Hi Guys

I flashed a eurovox blue box with new firmware but keep getting error all it comes up with is c908 on the box, no picture or anything, any ideas what this means n how to fix it, tried flashin it a couple of times n same thing happens..

 

Pleased about that for you.

Gazza, it is only a flying visit, I am having a hell of a lot of trouble at this end, only just managed to get on, so sorry about not getting back to you - all I can suggest at the minute is you delete the firmware you have and download again. PC picked up trojans/spyware, have to get off.

 

hi anyone there that can help plz

my euro vox finds channels but nothing comes on the screen like no channels found?

 

@ sewsunker.. By an amazing coincidence that just happened to me while I was re flashing a box. Anyway I just did a factory reset and powerscan and it was sorted. I was in a hurry - so may not be the quickest solution but at least it worked
