    I'm aware that you have to buy a satellite dish etc., but when n3 comes out a lot of people might be moving in that direction.

    And it really depends on what you watch, if you aren't interested in the sports channels and already pay for digital, it takes a lot longer than that to get your money's worth. Plus most of the football etc is over now for the next few months isn't it?

    im sure it is in this recession we are in i think people want to pay as little as possible to get tv and not keep adding to their cost by buying that box and then having to change tuners in them as well most people would not be able to do that bad enough trying to talk them into flashing their boxes without having to start taking their boxes apart

    Who's arguing? All we are doing is debating the merits of the different options available to people.

    Aren't that what forums are all about, everyone expressing their opinion?

    And it would be pretty boring if all you were to see were pages and pages of the same posts over and over again recommending the same box, what would you learn that way?

    All the more reason to stick with the starview, a fiver is a fiver when all said and done :).

    I also have to agree with eva on the benefits on being able to add a sat tuner to the itgate if needed, ok yes they will have to buy satellite dish etc but its better than buying a complete new box, at least the option is available to change at a later date, either way were not going to agree on it, we also dont have motive to promote these recievers like you do ;). Shall we leave it there now and get back to the topic of Eurovox as per title of this thread.

    All's i can say is if i had waited for a fix for the starview 4 or itgate i would have missed the last two months of the football season,so i no which box i'll be recommending to folk's.

    yes totally agree with you there all right and yes with the Kryptview there new and their previous box has been updated to N2 unlike the rest of the starview boxes so anyone that has the starview 1 or the TheBox2 or the Super3 are going to be left without a fix

    so what does that say about support for the starview at least with the Kryptview people did not have to buy that had older ones just update the firmware and away they went

    I fully agree with you fergus the fact the starview have developed a fix for N2 and only released it for the Starview 4 is really bad form and on a matter of principle I would never buy anything from them again. I think the Kryptview is worth an extra fiver all day long.

    What i dont get about all this fighting over boxes is, Yeah it took them one day. Well Done,Getting sick of hearing it too be honest, No Pun Intended, with all the other problems before all the fixes were out pretty much the same time.

    But how do you know that next time they will have a fix??? starview or eurovox could be the first with a N3 fix and kryptview could take 4 months or longer, Not that theres a chance of a N3 fix, just an example..

    You cant guarentee anything....

    could be that krypt is a uk supported box and all the rest are out side of that hence they dont understand the way the encryption works that is why it takes them so much longer im pretty sure it wont be starview any way maybe none of them but sure who knows

    Guys I need help,

    sorry if it's been mentioned before-but I've trawled evrywhere and can't find anything.

    I am trying to re flash my EVpvr5000 with the 24-02-09 version.

    I have indentified the COM PORT and changed it from 8 to 1 (on device manager). PORT 1 is free. Plus you only get a choice on 1 to 4 on your UFL.

    When I click download the next screen says COM1 then COM2 then COM3 and back to COM1 and so on....it does this for a few seconds then the START botton is ready to press. I press this and change the COM port setting to 1, then click start.....then i get "waiting for the response of your receiver". nothing happens
    I've tried switching on my EV...but no change.

    Do you think it is a connection problem?

    Or am I doing something obviously wrong

    I have flashed a couple of times and read hitecks instructions

    please advise or point me to another link

    many many thanks for the good work

    PS I still have the 1.0 ST4 Oct 28 2008 version on system info. Could i still use this ?????

    I would be interested in people's thoughts on whether like Starview there is a chance at this late stage of a fix arriving for the Eurovox. Or am I just living in cloud cuckoo land?

    Hi guys, I hope you can help. I have a couple of questions

    1) Eurovox 5100 PVR - I successfully did an autoscan last week and all channels received fine. Checked last night, a large chunk are missing. Does anyone know why this is? I'll do a Reagan later but was just curious. I'm with VM.

    2) is there any software for this box which doesn't autosort once the scan has finished?

    Thanks in advance.

    1, They may have moved freqs mate, you will have to factory default and powerscan.

    2,No, not for the ex5100, not that I've seen anyway..
