Just Recieved This From A Retail Outlet! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

If you're a Eurovox owner then you've probably been plagued by this message over the past few days. The cable companies are changing the way they update their boxes and this is affecting all Eurovoxes, it is not a fault with the box because, as you know, they should not be used for receiving subscription television but the message can be cleared.

Please do not ask or telephone us for codes to clear this message as we are not able to provide them but you may find the following information very useful:
The forums at ******** provide a wealth of information for the Eurovox user and have several solutions to clear the code being updated message.
The guys at Techwatch have instructions for removing the message using a utility called the BigMAQ toolbar which can be found at**********************.
The engineers at Eurovox are working on a permanent software fix which will remove the message but this will require a simple software upgrade. Details of the software upgrade will be made available when ready and we expect it to be only a few days away. Of course, this update will only be available for genuine boxes so if you've got yourself a cheap clone then you're out of luck.
You might be interested to know that Starview boxes have not been affected by the recent changes and continue to operate as normal. If you are interested in purchasing a Starview 3 then please ******here.

Kind Regards,

You never know! But I bet their Eurovox sales are down! Interesting that they claim the starview box 3 does not seem to be affected by the lastest eurovox problem........

I'm pretty sure the new keys are coming from starview owners as their keys auto-update so they can just look them up.

gji25 · 10-04-08, 10:47 AM

that is correct.... the box and the box super is not affected by the auto roll key update as they can update the new keys without any problem unlike the eurovox

Doubt it if i was thinking about buying one and then read all that was going on i would hold off for a while till i knew that all was ok again

the new keys on bigmaq are coming from folk who are logging the stream and not from starview owners...lol

Trog · 10-04-08, 12:17 PM

That was just something I heard, it also explained why some got updated much faster than others so it made sense to me. Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding.

What are the chances that Eurovox or a 3rd party WILL ACTUALLY come up with a fix for this?

Trog · 10-04-08, 12:26 PM

The same happened last year and it was fixed quickly.
