    Hey can anyone help!! I was watching my eurovox(black)(have it about 6 months) and suddenly the channel knocked off and writing came up saying "Please contact retailer,do not try and fix etc" then it went snowy.Now it wont even turn back on for me.Is that my eurovox done?? Even though it wont turn back on can i still try putting the latest firmware on my eurovox when i recieve my null modem cable in the post? Has anyone ever heard of this happening before?? Thanks as usual lads!!

    it needs jtaging (reprogramming)! check out jtag on this forum,you can get the cable/circut on ebay or here
    you'll also need loader software (skymax) or (jkeys) & the correct TSOP file to suite your box, all should be avalible on theis forum.

    Hello M8

    You will need to istall the software that came with the RS232 to usb converter.

    once you have done that, you will also need to assign com1 status via hardware manager.

    hows it going scouser just a quick question have done a load of max v 2008 boxes but was on another thread the last two days helping a person called mishy and he had a max v box that had digital terestial receiver under the digital and i was just curious cos all the boxes ive done had max v under the digital but he showed a picture and it was a max v alright and celtic confirmed aswell but now ive got a box here that says digital satellite receiver under the digital and the version was 2.00 not 2.10 so was just wondering are these just older versions of the max v cos the inside looks genuine so just making sure its not a clone but doubt it very much but just to be safe i thought i ask someone at the top of their game .. thanks

    sounds like your connections aren't secure check you coaxil cable is secure in the rf in on the box and check you scart lead is secure in your tv and your box(tv on box)

    is your normal tv ok without the box? also go to menu language settings press 1968 on your remote which will give you the hidden menu and check and see if your emulation is set to enable

    Hi There,

    Thanks again for writing back! Emulation is set to enable! I have just moved house and brought the box with me, I have never subscribed to NTL from this house, is it necessary to have NTL? I am wondering if the previous home owners have only just cancelled their NTL and that is reason for the box not working anymore!

    It was fine until last week!

    Thank you :)

    lol thats it in a nutshell ring them up and ask them are you connected and if its still not working come back then and we'll sort you out the box will not work without an n@l connection and if your in the country sometimes it wont work if digital tv is not available in your area
