Eurovox & Archos DVR

[Hygro]

Hi,

I just purchased an Archos DVR station for my Archos 504 and am trying to link it up with my Eurovox, but am not having any joy. Basically you can choose which type of vcr/satellite/cable box you have and then there's a list of codes that should work if you have one of them, but of course the Eurovox isn't listed ...

I was wondering if anyone on this forum has the same set up and if they have managed to link the 2 together like maybe using a certain code in order for the Archos to automatically switch the eurovox between channels and essentially become a proper DVR rather than just a prehistoric type of video that has to be have the channel pre-set in order for it to record the correct programme.

Any help will be appreciated, but I won't hold my breath

The only way to control any recording device that does not have the E/vox codes is (as far as I know) by using a Phantom-Plus by Bluedelta. This is plugged into the scart socket on the E/vox, you then use the remote of the recorder to teach it the button sequence for recording. Then you pick want you want recording with E/vox epg & press the yellow timer button & make sure its set to VCR Record (you only need to that once). Then it will turn on both devices, record & turn them off at the end.

I've got the same problem. Spoke to Archos helpline, and they didn't have any idea how to help. At the moment I'm stuck with having to record with the channel already set on the EV, which isn't exactly ideal, so if you find a way, please let me know.
