Well......
I didn't think we could get unscrambled PPV channels on the eurovox, but seeing as that wrestlemania thread is so damned huge, it looks like its a possibility.
I had no idea you access them as they require talkback.
I'm in the VM Nottingham area, do i need to do anything special to get them?

I deleted all the TV01 TV02 etc channels. So how do i add them back without powerscanning again and knacking up my existing channel setup?

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to update channels without messing up your list - back it up first to be safe.

The events PPV is on a broadcast channel rather than a VOD channel.

Err, how? You mean by using a null modem cable to the pc?
Still with the how though. I need to plug it into my laptop but finding a serial pcmcia card is like finding rocking horse sh*te on the M1! Is there software that performs the backup for me once connected?

Come again? Those 13 words, when arranged in that particular order, make no sense to me, sorry.

You may have to use another PC then or find a USB to serial that works for you. You would backup the files either with the firmware installation file or Voxer.

A broadcast channel is broadcasting to everyone on the network, a VOD (Video on Demand) is being sent to the subscriber that requested it.
