    Urgently Important

    When i flashed my eurovox blue max 2006 with the appropriate 30/11/08 Firmware, the update was successful, i was able to load my channel data on normally, but i noticed a huge different with the box after the update. When the box is on standby the LCD reads 12:00 and the light is obviously read, however when i turn it on the LCD changes to "2324" and hey the Red light doesnt turn onto green? does this mean i've busy my box :| update and everything was succesful, since the green light isn't on is this why my tv cannot detect the eurovox through scart?

    Please someone help me this is extremely important!!

    Instead of using a scart lead you have to use a RF cable, plug it in the TV/VCR out at the back of the box (see pic) then plug the other end in to the TV then tune your TV in, if you cant tune it in you will have to do it on another TV. Now follow the rest of the details above. Got to go back out but will be on later, best of luck.

    Cheers, but my previous post is more accurate, the green light doesnt come on, when it gets off stand by(red)..

    it shows that there is something wrong with the box because it hasnt ever done this, and it shouldn't either..

    and looking forward to your reply... thanks.

    Do as said asad, its a common problem and if you do it as explained step by step it usually works, got to go out mate, back shortly.

    Try switching off the power from the EV, then swithc back on: this often resets the box.

    Qustion for HiTeck: I noticed that there are 2 new Firmwares available for EV 5000PVR (dated 20-03-2009): Do we need to update our EV 5000PVR firmware? My EV has the fix from December on it at present (shown in the system info as "oct 2008").
    Would appreciate your view. Thanks.

    No if yours is fine then leave it as it is, the later firmware is supposed to improve signal strength as the booster works better (apparently), I haven't tried it yet but been told it works well, if its not broke mate leave it be.
