Eurovox flashing step by step.

have 2 null modem cables not used before i have studied the 1st page
tried under xp with 9 pin serial port on old computer still same result waiting for response from receiver tried changing ports still same result all the time any ideas greately appreciated!!!!

 

You can try a force flash then and see if you can get it that way, "Unplug the box and press DOWNLOAD and then re-apply the power to the boxm plug back in) give it a couple of goes that way, if no joy then it looks like the cables are not NULL MODEM, could possibly be straight through serial cables.

 

You would be better advised to return for replacement, wouldn't advise you to take the lid off at this stage, it's still under warranty, beyond that I have not heard of that problem affecting the EX7000HD. (Have you got the latest Firmware on it) (main_090122.tbn)

 

Hi there,

I'm having some trouble setting up a EV ex5100. I've downloaded the most recent firmware as referenced at the beginning of this thread. I've connected my laptop to the box using the RS232 cable I got with the box, but when I try to run the firmware, after I hit 'Download', the start screen appears, and it just keeps alternating between COM1 and COM3 but nothing happens. If I select start I get a screen that says,
'The receiver was not detected... If you want to download the firmware in the boot mode...' etc.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, because I'm slowly being driven mad trying to set this thing up.

Thanks in advance

 

Hi all,

Ive been told that anyone with a Eurovox box will not be able to view channels or through any other brands as everything is being upgraded by the end of this year.

Is this true?... If so, will there be firmware available??

Thanks

 

Have you got access to an older PC with a 9 pin connection that will accept the nul modem cable?

I wasted £10 buying an RS232 to USB cable last week to try and update a box from a laptop because I didn't have access to a PC, did everything as per instructions, same problem as you, couldn't lock on a port.

If you use the nul modem from 9 pin to box, runs smoothly, I've done loads of Max V 2008, 1000SL and 5000, never a problem.

Good luck

 

I'll give that a try on a PC and hopefully that'll solve it. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes

 

malci I have the firmware main 90221, I'm gonna try the firmware main rar & see if that works now & I'll let you no

 

can any one tell me what frequency to scan for im after eden im in liverpool on tele pest

 

451.00 Eden - Telepest.

 

Success. Downloading from a PC worked fine. Thank for your help.

 

Has anyone else received a letter from Vegan which starts:

"Dear (Subscribers name)
It has been brought to our attention that someone at your address has purchased and may be using an unauthorised set-top box"?

It then goes on about copyright and disconnection.

This is not a wind-up, I've got a copy of the letter here which was sent to a friend of mine. I'm curious where they got the info from, he's recently bought a box from a supplier he's never used before, and suddenly he gets this letter, so it make you wonder if the supplier informed them for a pay-off.

He's bought and sold dozens of boxes prior to this with no problem, just seems odd.

Anyone else, or any comments people??

 

Yes been mentioned a few times on here have a read through these,

I don't know I never watch it but if you have the auto-sort firmware you will not have to sort your channels it will sort them itself into category order.
