    morning peeps..

    Need some advice....I have a euro-vox max v 2008 box. I'm always having to manually input the new codes. Last week someone I know asked me to install the firmware on there new eurovox ex1000sl, which I did.

    Cos my box is already up n running can I just plug it into pc and updates the firmware on it so I dont have to manually put the codes in meself..it does it itself. If i can, could you direct me to the right firmware as Im unsure if I can use the firmware on this thread

    and will i have to sort out all my fav channels again?

    Thanks in advance for any advice given

    The firmware on the thread is fine for you, if it is a genuine Max V 2008, and it has an Auto-Sort feature which does this for you into genre groups, but you can if you wish upload your channel data to your PC and give it a name of your choice by using the bottom half of UFL.

    Just follow the guide and instructions, your EV Box will have the older firmware that does not have the autosort feature, the firmware you will be updating to has got the feature okay, as regards the channel dump, you first use the bottom half of the UFL (Unified Firmware and Software Loader) otherwise known as (Unified Flash Loader) underneath where it says channel data it is all in one, download it and have a look at it - you do not have to look for any individual bin files or anything. The large DOWNLOAD is the one you press to flash it, nothing else.

    just an update....I did it!! My eurovox no longer needs me to update the codes on it..it does it itself, like last night.

    It was sooooo easy..I even uploaded my channels like u said then downloaded them again. Easy peasy.

    Thanks again
