    check the cables are connected properly to the box and in the correct place, do not scan using any splitters, use direct live feed only. did the firmware download to the box ok?

    cable is connected to port thats says cable input, definately live feed, i have been using eurovox pvr5000 for while now and it works fine, and the firmware and logo seemed to go onto the box no problem. ill try downloading the logo and firmware onto the box again, any other ideas?

    can you tell me where you are based and is the scan actually reaching 100%?

    I'm based in glasgow, scan gets to 95% (27/28) then when it reaches 28 jumps to 3% then 100% is this normal?

    it could be a signal strength problem, do you have subbed or other box to try on the feed and check the signal strength?

    try scanning different providers and doubly ensure you have the feed pushed tight into the "cable in" input.

    thats whats wrong with your box,looks like you may have a clone,you should send it back to supplier if still under warranty for an exchange. If thats not possible you can fix it by j-tagging.You will need a max 32 adaptor for this but a decent supplier should exchange the box.

    hang on, he didnt say his box was bricked, just that the numbers came up when turning the box on,

    Firstly why flash a logo file on to a box when using the v1.12 file which has the log built in....

    Factory reset the box, choose ex CW as your provider and Auto scan,
