2006 Eurovox max

[flagooner]

Hi I have just registered and I need some advice.I have just bought a 2006 Eurovox Max receiver on e bay which came in a blue box.I have also received a message from an e bay member saying that these blue boxed receivers are "clones" and will stop working.The item on E bay was a 2007 model in a red box.Will I have problems with this receiver,has anyone had experience of this model.

Thanks

no m8 the item is not a clone. however if you bid on a 2007 model then you have not got whay you paid for. Before you contact the seller look down at the box from above and note were the rf in connection is, looking through the grill on the box above this is the tuner can and a 2007 model will only measure 8 slots of the grill and a 2006 will measure 8. This will help you if the seller claims it to be a 2007 but posted in a 2006 box. If the box is working fine try to get a bit of cash back off him for the f*ck up.

Hi thanks.Have looked and the tuner covers 11 slots.Did you mean 11 slots for a 2006 model?Is the 2006 model inferior to the 2007 model?

thanks again

yes its deffo a 2006 model and its not inferior it just has a different tuner thats all, but as you bought and expected a 2007 unit tell him you want reimbursed by £20 or you will alert ebay.

Hiya i have just posted a message similar to this myself... The box i bought also was advertised as a 2007 max 3, but i got it in the blue box
an i am having a lot of problems with it... Im new to ebay as well so i dont understand all the ins an outs, i was just told to look at feedback etc.

I had this problem also... Now my box doesnt connect to my remote

[flagooner]

Yes thanks I decided to set this box up and the remote is all over the place.A shame really as the rest looks good.

[kizzy07]

Are you sending yours back then?? Im going to PM you now... Just wondering if we have both been had by the same person!

the box you have is indeed a 2006 max version loaded with 2007 version software...the box is not a clone... i suspect you bought it for around £100 pounds including delivery which is a very good price for a ev max...
dont panic... it will work very well as i know people who have purchased these boxes back in last summer and are still working perfectly well

Hiya, as i said above i had this problem also. My box is a 2006 version, it came in the blue cardboard box an everything, but i ordered the 2007 red box version. It isnt loaded with the 2007 software as this has been checked. I wouldnt mind which box it is that we had... Just as long as it worked!! We are getting nothing what so ever out of this one and are now sending it back for a refund.
