Hi there,

Just received eurovox and a bunch of cabling etc today and very excitedly spent the last 7 hours trying to set it up

I have trawled through all the threads i can see and still no joy.

I'm 99.9% sure i flashed the box correctly with the latest firmware.

But when i scan for channels it reads TP:000 and does not find anything for my viewing pleasure.

So.... i tried resetting factory defaults , put it to 6.887 and tried again. No joy.

So then i tried the language menu, typed in 1968 and turned emu on, then typed it again and chose the key for NTL - there happened to be 2 of them so i did the first one, performed a scan to no avail then set the 2nd one as default and still no luck.

After that i decided maybe it was my cabling so i moved down to the living room to the source reset the factory settings put it on 6.887 and tried again - still the same TP:000 and no channels.

I'm sure there must be something im missing... im going to eat some dinner now, have a cuppa and a smoke. Would be VERY VERY VERY Gratefull if anybody could help me out.

Hey dude.

You're sure that 6.887 is the correct baud rate? You're also 100% sure that it is indeed a live feed? Have you been operating a VM box on it recently? Or are you just assuming it is?

I'd want to make that 99.9% sure that the firmware is correct into a 100% sure. Confirm which you're using? (Without posting the link).

it says everywhere that 6.887 us for my area - peterborough

its deffo a live feed, i have virqin broadband running off it .

the firmware im using is DarX EX1000SL 1/12/08

however i think i might have been using the firmware for a cloned version

will try flashing another one now...
