    When you get the message unplug the box for a second and then plug it back in. Download will then begin.

    Fixed - Just unplug the EV and then plug it back in when the System Reset message is displayed, the download will begin. Also beware that on completion sometimes the Message Download failed appears for a few secs and then it displays Download successful.

    Sorry bout that last error. Hit 'post reply' by accident.
    Thanks for the advice Des - what I actually needed to do was a factory default & change the default setting to the other option (6.887) it was set to the other so I guess when the EV was trying to do the autoupdate it was doing it on the wrong frequency.
    The powerscan frequency (which picked up the channel's) was set to 6.887 but not the other setting in the config.

    Anyway all sorted - cheers for the help.
    I have no passed on my knowledge learned here to 4 other (now satisfied) users.

    On a seperate note - where does one procure additional EV's (or what is the best recommended box to use & what is the price to pay????)

    Hi all, I'm new to these box thingys and need some help. I have a Eurovox Max V 2008 on C@o£r*s but after setting it up I can only get a picture on 3 of the 130 or so channles it found. The names of the stations and what's currently on is displayed on the screen but I have no picture or sound. Contacted the person who sold me it and informed me I probably need to download software ! Any help would be appricated.

    your software is out of date you need one of the following below

    red / blue box ===== 21/4/08

    Black Max ===== 18/4/08

    these are the only firmware that will work on these boxes

    And be aware these are not and i say not for clone boxes and will kill them dead

    you will need your gray cable that came with the box when you firs got it

    FLASHING EUROVOX BOX

    1 CONNECT YOUR NULL MODEM CABLE (1 END TO THE PC AND THE OTHER TO YOUR BOX)

    2 GET YOUR LOADER READY

    3 THE LOADER AND FIRMWARE ARE COMBINED

    4 TURN YOUR BOX OFF AT THE MAINS

    5 PRESS THE CENTER DOWNLOAD BUTTON YOU WILL GET ANOTHER BOX PRESS START ( WAITING FOR RECEIVER )

    6 NOW TURN YOUR BOX BACK ON AND YOU WILL SEE THE LOADER LOADING THE FIRMWARE

    7 WAIT TILL YOU SEE THAT YOUR BOX HAS REBOOTED BEFORE REMOVING ANY CABLES

    8 NOW YOU HAVE FLASHED YOUR BOX

    9 NOW ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GO TO MENU CONFIG AND FACTORY RESET TO DEFAULT ON YOUR SYMBOL RATE (NTL==6875 TW 6952)


    DOING A CHANNEL DUMP

    ON THE LOADER ON THE BOTTOM PRESS UPLOAD THAT WILL OPEN ANOTHER BOX FOR YOU TO SAVE TO

    YOU NEED TO RENAME YOUR CHANNELS (EXAMPLE MIKES_CHANNELS_20_4_08)

    THEN YOU WILL GET ANOTHER BOX WITH CHANNEL DATA ON IT THEN PRESS START YOU WILL SEE

    THE LIGHT FLASH ACROSS THE LOADER AND THAT IS IT DONE

    TO PUT THE CHANNELS BACK ON DO THE REVERSE ORDER EXCEPT YOU PRESS THE BOTTOM DOWNLOAD BUTTON
