Need help with EUROVOX EX5000 PVR - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all,

Just got a EUROVOX EX5000 PVR with 120GB HDD. Managed to update the firmware 2nd time ok and started up ok as well. Manage to do a quick install and the box starts to scan and finds CNN and goes there, and in all finds 11 channnels only. I have left and box to continue scanning, but the ( code being updated ) does not come on screen.
Does anyone know what is wrong. I have tried the right code for the SP I have and have also tried manual install with same result.
Is it a good idea to update firmware again and start.
I would appreciate any help guys.

Regards,
Frank

You may not be using the correct symbol rate - there are areas where the symbol rate to be used is not that of the current provider but of a previous provider.

There is no harm in trying the other symbol rates to see

Thank you Lucky13, Sorry for the double post. I have tried other symbol rates and have had the same results. any other ideas? Thanks.

You say you are doing a Fast Install.

Try Menu/Config/Clear Data. Under Factory Default set your Symbol Rate and Select Full Powerscan.

You could also have a look here for a CDF for your area/provider and download it to your box CDF Files for the Eurovox
