hi all this is my first post so be gentle with me lol
i bought a Eurovox max V 2008 back in September . Ive been looking to update firmware which not only is hard to find but i all so think there's different firmware .

all abit confusing to a first timer

luckily through my endless search through the Internet i found this gem of a site

i was wondering if any one had any recommendations of which firm ware is the best and all the pros and cons and if they could tell me how i see which is my current firmware ?

and lastly Ive looked at the sticky on where to down load firmware and i cant find it also firmware links in other threads are dead links?

so if any one can help i would be extremely grateful thanks

I would use either the october 15th fw, or kuro beta2 fw.

You need over 5 decent posts to see our download section but the files are all over the net!

thanks mixin247

have you no preference of the 2?

and as for the downloads thanks i thought there was something wrong with pc or i was just a thick un and could find them , well one down 4 to go lol

kuro beta 2....works mint for me.

Im using beta2 at homw but dads will only work with oct 15th, when he uses beta2 he gets signal problems!

thanks again mixin247 and tekka84

is it easy enough to reflash with one then the other if you don't like or it don't work properly as i`ve not done it yet not sure how it works
i will try beta 2 first as recommended by both of you
does the firm ware make any difference to on screen displays and programme guides or is the firmware purely updating its descrambling abilities?
sorry lot of qustions i know

When you do the update to kuro beta2 you will get a different menu system, which looks much better!

Also you get full 16:9 WS support!

Its easy to update, takes 5 mins!

that's great mixin247 as i thought the display i got is a bit basic and dated although i found out reading other posts it will be the firmware that belongs to the red euro vox that i have which is an older model i believe
and i have just purchased my first LCD TV ( Samsung LE46F86BD ) so that will be fantastic to have a more up to date display
by the way couldn't recommend that TV enough what a machine!!!!
