Eurovox downstairs, what to put upstairs? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi there,

Got a Eurovox downstairs, went to put my old NTL box upstairs (got a cable line upstairs as well) and it showed up with 8888 after a bit of internet research it appears that it means the box is burned, and basically in need of a new one.

What box can i get to replace this box? Don't need anything special, as in no need for 'ALL' channels, just the FTA ones included in my £16 package ?

Much appreciated.

What are the amtels chips? Can I do this by keeping it close, or do I need to open it?

you need to open it mine was a 4010 or was it 4001 i think the last one,as i say open it and you will see 2 large chips with amstel on them heat them both up gently on off sort of heat then push down all along the edges where ytou see the little feet but gently and while hot plug in and it should boot but im guessing its a pace box ifs its other like sammy someone else might have a idea

At the moment, I am just 'cooling it down', as it was rather hot. I will then open it, and where I see the 2 large chips I heat them up slowly with a hairdryer, then push along the edges gently alongside a touch of heat in regards to some airflow going on them and it should work? Are these instructions correct buddy, just before i try
