Hi,

I am new to the eurovox world and i am trying so please bare with me!

I've downloaded the whole Eurovox.zip file from the downloads section and had a fiddle with the software, but i cant make heads and tails of it?

To update your EuroVox box, do you need to find a .CDF file or do you need to find the .BIN files?

Can someoneplease make it more clear?

It would be much appreciated!

BIN files are the firmware files which update your box with the latest software
CDF also known as service files are channel data.When youve done a scan you can upload your CDF/service file to pc and arrange channels as you want and use that service file on as many boxes as you want without the need to scan them as long as it the same area as you cause different areas transmit on different transponders/frequencys
Hope that helps m8

The newer Eurovoxes have a UFL loader, which is an .exe file. cdf's are channel lists which you can load with the UFL

Thanks for that ron, your a diamond!

Just one more thing, as i say before i have the eurovox 2008 with the oct firmware. What program would you recomend to use when updating the box?

Dnupman would you recomend a better one?

nice 1 lincsat forgot that bit!
you wont need BIN files as lincsat says
exe files are all you should use now, there was alot of problems with the black boxes using different loaders Dnupman/Voxer with the july BIN files so the loaders and firmware are now combined
