Hello guys,

I have the Eurovox pvr ex5000 all connected correctly and firmware updated. I'm just having problems with the channel scanning. I'm in down South,between Southampton and Portsmouth which Sym Rate should I use? I'm with virgin media. Portsmouth don't have any Sym rates on the area code document?

Cheers!

 

I think it's 6887 for your area.

 

Hi thanks for the quick response, I've put that in and nothing picks up it just has the blue screen with level and quality green going up and down. It then has TP : 000 across the centre of the screen. When it's finished there isn't anything? It should definetely work if I have VM broadband?

 

Your cable feed, is it plugged in the RF IN at the back of the box and not the ANT, also have you tried 6952.

 

Yeah it's in the correct socket at the back. I'm not sure what im doing wrong! I have tried that aswell. Not sure why it's not picking up anything. How do I check I have the correct flashed software on the there? I flashed it earlier all seem to go fine... any other ideas?

 

Answer each question,

1,Has it ever worked at your house before,?

2, is your cable feed live, have you paid your bill?

3, Can/have you try your own subbed box (the one you get with your subscription) in its place to check for cable company problems.

4, have you set it up as per this post >> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371#4103005

If you read that carefully and your cable feed is live without cable company problems it should work.

To check whether it's flashed go to Menu, Config, System info and type back what it says in there.

 

It's just worked!!! Loads of channels suddely appeared! Cheers for your help. Some channels say it's scrambled or updating new code.

 

good news, if its flashed it should update.

 

Hi guys
my tv broke so i swaped it with anotheri connected the box it says no signal on all channels it worked fine before could some one help please? many thanks

 

make sure your cable feed is connected to your RF. it sounds like its either not connected properly or you may have connected it to the wrong one

 

Hey guys, first of all Happy Christmas!

I was hoping one of you could help me out. I own a Eurovox PVR 5000 and am downloading the software and flashing as per the tutorial thread then when I scan for channels i'm getting nothing. this box has worked before and there's nothing wrong with the cable connection.

The system information reads:

DVB –XC EX5000 TDA
1.0 ST4 Oct28 2008
2.0t K5 +D
v001
Kuro

Do any of you know if the box is taking the latest software from that info?

Many thanks

 

Just a quick question, should it show up in system information that it has the december update, because i flashed mine (at least i think i did) and it still says that it has the april update, is it just a case that the revision number was never changed or have i made a mess of it!

Happy xmas everyone!

 

I've got the same EX5000, system info the same,so you've got the latest set-up.

My box is working perfectly, so firmware looks ok, when you say you're getting NOTHING, what exactly do you mean?

 

Have you done a factory default in the Config menu before you scan.
If not do it and clear the old data. Then do a new scan making sure you have the correct Symbol Rate

 

Hey thanks for replying,Yes I've restored factory settings and when I go to flash new channels im putting in freq 290-420 and symbol 6887... (im in North dublin, when i press ok after this it scans from1/130 up to 130/130 and once it completes when i exit the message is still "No channels", really frustrating cause i know Im following all the steps right, i think it might be some small mistake I'm making.

If any of you have any ideas I'd really appreciate it would love to sit through the boxing day football tomorrow.

Thanks guys

 

Right lets start from the start. Have you flashed new firmware onto the box
1) Get box to the computer and download new fix, complements of Desb. First post on this thread
2 )When completed bring box back to telly and connect back up properly
3) In config - Clear Data - do Factory default ( this clears back to new firmware
4) Then do scan with the symbol etc. you have mentioned

 

Oops Hi-teck and Scouser and Eamos sorry about the exclusion and thanks for all the work.
Pints still on slow-pull
Happy Christmas to you all

 

Ive done all that... Im flashing the new firmware onto my box using a laptop with Windows Vista ... does that matter?
