Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the information to update my Eurovox Max V 2008 box to the latest firmware.

I now have a minor problem. When all the channels are loaded the name of certain channels is truncated. I have tried to edit the full channel name but there is only a certain number of characters available.

Is there any other way to update the names?

You have pretty much nailed it, as far as I know abbreviations are the way to go. Hopefully someone else will come on with a different answer.

Have you tried uploading your channel info to the pc and then editing the names there?
I know there is an 'edit' button for them, but have not tried it myself?

Worth a bash!

~~sorry, the 'edit' button is on the update software!

You can edit them that way, but you still only have a certain number of characters.
