    Hi guys.

    Glad i found this place :)

    Hi,

    Just got the Euro-vox 2008 today and hooked it up. I get the GUI up and it's nice.. But i cant get any stations.

    all it says it " channel not currently available" when i push the buttons to select a different channel nothing happes. I look at the front of the machine of the number just stay at 0000
    --

    just to add. when i try to search for stations it comes up " No transponder to scan" i have the cable lead plugged into the back.. and it is a working lead as when i plug it directly into the TV i get my normal stations.

    I'm in the Dublin Area on N*L,

    This model came pre-flashed so it doesnt need modding. Here are the settings of the unit.
    System Info :

    Model DV8-XC BOXV TDA
    S/W VER 1.0 STC4 OCT 29-2007
    H/W VER 2.0T K5
    Bootstrep v001
    S/W Build kuro

    does anyone have any ideas?

    thanks.

    Yep should be in cable in. Then do a normal powerscan using symbol rate 6887 and frequency range 290.000 to 403.000 and thats it.

    Your time will be out by an hour after this the only way to fix it, is to unplug the EV for a few seconds, then plug it back in. Immediately go to time settings, set time using GMT. When time is correct turn GMT off and press blue button to save and exit. You may have to do this more than once to get it right and after that do not unplug it, just leave it in standby when you switch it off.

    Dont forget to turn widescreen on if you have a WS TV, menu, config, TV Setting set to PAL & 16:9, press blue button to save & exit.

    Signal issues have been driving me nuts lately, n*l dublin. Keep getting glitching and then occasionally 'signal lost'. Tried editing the freqs adding on .050 at a time and still happens....

    I wish i did. Have tried a few different firmwares and changing all the frequencies manually, still get a signal & quality of high 80's that occasionally drops down to 10-20 for a second or two at a time. Right now its pretty much unwatchable and it doesnt seem to matter which freq group im on :(

    Well Bhoys

    Have been searching through the thread and have seen many questions with regards to whether "the box" of any type work in Carlow.
    But I cant see if anyone has gotting an answer or if they ended up having had any luck with them??

    At present I am receiving standard Cho***s cable 20 ch's, cable running in from a main junction box at the front of the estate.
    this I believe is terrestrial??
    I inquired with Cho***s around mid year about getting Ch***s Digital.
    They told me it was not available in Carlow as of yet on the cable, but I could receive it using an MMds aerial, Had one of there techs around tested for signal strength but he said Signal was not strong enough, Weird as the guy 2 doors down has it.
    Anyway got a letter from them a few weeks back saying Digital was now available on the cable as some area's in Carlow town have been upgraded, rang them and they confirmed that they could send a guy around and setup Digi cable for me.

    Question 1. WILL EURO*OX OR THE LIKE'S WORK FOR ME?????
    Question 2. Recommendations for the Best type of box, lease SW crash etc.
    Question 3. Best known supplier, Don't wana buy a clone.

    Thanks in advance for all/any replies.

    Thanks Ogg

    But what I am trying to say is that Ch***s "say" they are NOW supplying Digital over the cable to my area, so no need for MMDS.

    Would the eurovox 2008 TX be suitable for Cable digital also??


    Thanks Again
