Eurovox Max problem

sc0user - I know I know ;-(... He would have no probs but he is away on client site (computer contract). BTW the inbound cable drives a VGN box perfect on every channel (I got his wife to swap the kit over)

 

Long way to go and flash a box Yep the VM box should be fine as said a reflash and factory reset with the latest firmware should do the trick.

If you still have problems when you get there, (hope you enjoy the flight ), just pop back in here, there is always someone here to help out.

 

sc0user - yep long flight and can't go for a couple of days anyway. I will take my 2008 box anyway to test out. I am trying to sort it out for when he gets back cos there is a big football game on the last Sat of this month. Here's hoping and thanx for all the info. Cheers

 

No bother, best of luck. Now if you said football in the first place I would understand why you would travel so far

BTW good idea bringing the Max V with you Although you may need to do a factory reset and rescan on it at your son's house. As he may be on a different provider. Even if he is on the same provider his frequencies may differ.

 

sc0user - Yeah I am cool with the diff peoviders. He DOES have a diff one so I will make sure I reflash mine as soon as I get there. If I did find his box faulty I would have time to get a new one in time for our big game. He only gets back home the night before and the game is a lunch time kick off. BTW if it was a tuner issue is that as good as game over? and new box needed. Cheers

 

Haven't seen many tuners die on the 2007 model,(PSUs and capacitors mainly), so hopefully this isn't the case. Last tuner problem I seen on a 2007 model was just a dry joint. This was a simple fix with a resolder on the RF socket. As said it probably has the weakest tuner of all EVs so it may be just the case of adding a booster. I am like yourself and cannot fully diagnose the problem unless the box is in front of me, or you are in front of the box talking to me

 

sc0user - Yeah.. diagnosis can be harder from 250 miles away ;-/..Thanx for stayn with me this long. At least his family can watch the Free to air stuff via the VGN box in the meantime and the game they wanna watch 2nite is on Free 2 A anyway. U R a topman for hangn' around this long . Cheers - Later

 

No bother, I hope you get it sorted

 

First of all I will introduce myself.....I am an IDIOT


I followed some advice on a thread on here and have gone wrong somewhere....big time!
A few of my channels were showing 'no signal' so I did what I thought was right following advice. it involved scanning a frequency range manually eg 300mhz- 400mhz .... then all my channels went.

I have since rescan it using a power scan and now I get the message ' Service unknown' on all channels.
Anyone know how I can rectify this? ... Me ma has nothin to watch all night now and is probably going to kill me

 

whereabouts are you?

 

Liverpool
North west

 

try a power scan from 100 hmz to 700mhz on symbol rate 6.952 if that dosn't work try using symbol rate 6.887

 

ok karljd.
going to try that now. Am going to have to come back and have a go at it again tomorrow if it doesnt work becasue I was meant to be meeting my chick for a meal 20 minutes ago. oops!

thanks for your help...much appreciated!

 

lol good man what else would you be doing when the mancs are playing!

 

exactly!
good time for the telly to go off isnt it! good job I didnt do this last night or saturday.

 

indeed enjoy your night and let us no if you get sorted

 

note please if your remote control stopped working and you checked that there were no buttons stuck on it, change the batteries and make sure the batteries are on properly never never let the wife find out that you put them on wrong and went bought a new one. ffs my life been misery since yesterday don't want any one to go through what im going through.

 

Some things are better off kept to yourself!!!

 

Hi all, could you please help.
Have the euromax v 2008 and have lost the signal( as a newcastle follower it aint no bad thing currently )however i believe i need to do a powerscan for the 1st time.

Many thanks in advance
