Missing 11 channels - Eurovox 5000 PVR

Hi hope someone can help, I've looked through all the threads and think I may have a unique problem if it’s been answered previously then apologies.

I live in Croydon and my cable operator is now V.M. (previously Telepest). I've got the and the correct 15Jul08 firmware. When I did the original powerscan, I got 11 channels being CNN, several Discovery one and Sony. After searching through the forums I came across Onitsuka's thread and used SR 6.952 and frequency 162 to 866. I now have around 200 odd channels but not the above 11, which I really need.

Please can someone help...

 

Please don't multipost. When someone comes on that knows the answer to your query, they will answer you.

 

Appologies for that, wanted to change the title, didn't know how to amend/remove the other thread..

 

If you look under HiTeck's signature, he has channel dump files for the uk. Check and see what frequency your missing channels are on and do a manual scan for them. Best i can do for now, sorry!

 

Thxs got the channel dump, but I couldn't locate how to do a manual scan, and if I do a manual scan, will I loose all the other channels.

 

Afternoon eva

Bigfun,

Before using the CDF,do a factory default then turn the box off for a minute then back on, go to user installation not the fast install, powerscan from 100 to 850 symbol rate 6952 step set to 8 and FAV sort ON.

 

many thanks guys, will try it out tonight when i get home...

 

Tried what you have recommended above, only getting the 11 chanels, I had previously.

 

Wierd alright, did you do the factory default as advised?.

 

Edit: Just to note they are doing work in your area at the moment so your TV maybe effected,

Apologies for the double post.

 

Yes, I did...Have to advise that Croydon is a funny place in more ways than one and i know people have had lots of probs with set-up.

 

Saw the Vm tkt, don't believe this would have any probs witht the TV as Carshalton if on the other side of the borough...thxs

 

Plug your contract box back in and see if that works.

 

Yes, the origianl box still works.

 

Try downloading the CDF from before to your box, do a factory default before you try to load the CDF.

Just to add I would put this down to a cc problem as said before, their are a load of issue surrounding you at the moment so if the CDF doesn't work and the instructions I gave you above then try again at a later time,

Look at all these problems around you,

I think I may have the wrong CDF file, and I'm having trouble locating one for the Croydon area. Pls can you provide or point me in the right direction...many thanxs for your patience.

 

Appologies, pls ignore above, when I got to the rapidshare website to download the CDF, it provides the link but nothing happens when I try to download.

 

Try this,

Still no joy, i have downloaded the file, but it doesnt seem to save in a .cdf format. can i get the cdf file from anywhere else.

 

you need winrar to open it, then unzip it to your desktop. I have tried both the links I gave you and there ok for me.
