Stupidest question ever asked...? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Well, it may not be the stupidest, but I get the feeling it might be labelled as silly perhaps, anyway, here goes.

Would anyone be able to tell me:

A) What sort of operating system is used on the Eurovox boxes (especially the ex7000)

B) Whether or not programs are available to edit/update the firmware(s)

C) How easy would it be?

A) The firmware is a closed source project. I couldnt really give further details sorry.

B) Programs are available to load firmware onto the box, i think it was DnUpMan or something like that but now you're supposed to use the UFLs that come out as they are the only supported upload method.

No, software isnt available to edit the firmware.

C) Not very easy at all (Y)
