Eurovox EX1100USB - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

The Latest Eurovox is about to appear. The EX1100 is an updated EX1000 with the addition of a USB connector and PVR facilities. Externally it’s identical to the EX1000 with the USB connector on the side. As a beta tester of this box, I’ve been able to have a good play with a prototype and helped get rid of most of the bugs (In Pure NTL area’s at least).

The scan performs similar to the EX1000 with you having to set the SR for your area, the autosort now generates 12 favourite groups named to match the VM favourites and for me now catches most current channels into their correct groups. Within the groups the channels get stored in alphabetical order. The editing favourites on the box is now a little fiddly with having 12 favourites and only 4 colour buttons to allocate the groups, you need to press the FAV button to scroll through 3 groups of 4. I’m told a PC based editor (like Voxer) will be available soon, they are also working on proper network scanning like the Kryptview and D-Box.

In the main menu, going into the REC section gives you access to the PVR Setting, here you can switch the time-slip on and set the size of the time-slip, unlike previous boxes, the EX1100 permanently time-slips when a recording device is connected and the facility is switched on, be aware though that this does slow down the channel change considerably as it has to stop recording before it changes channel. The REC section also has the USB information, format and access to the library. The EX1100 records in standard .mpg format to play back on any PC, this has the advantage of you being able to play back .mpg files from your PC on the EX1100, it also plays back MP3’s

The Firmware is FTA (Free to Air) by default. Go into the Language Menu and Press - Red-2-5-2-0, this will allow access to the Emulator & Key edit menu, switch the EMU on (XCAS) and press Green to save & exit.

If you get the Audio Voice over, pressing Green will allow you to select the alternate audio channel.

In the Tools section of the menu is the upgrade by USB application. From here you can upgrade the firmware, load channel lists and also dump channel lists and dump keyfiles to USB.

RRP is £90 and they are due to arrive in the next week or so.

AFAIK, they are exactly like the picture - USB, RS232 and 2 scarts

lost_boy · 08-09-09, 07:07 PM

cool.. Any images...?! I cant see any images

waqasahmed · 08-09-09, 09:55 PM

You got a zoom in on where abouts the USB is? Seeing as though, I cant see it

I think this is not just a tactic to stop clones but they're copying the Microsoft tyrants by adding a USB to hike up the value

lost_boy · 08-09-09, 09:55 PM

also, im assuming the pvr function requires an external HD connected via USB... is that a good assumption to make?!

It would seem so mate, it's the same for the Ex7000 HD, so I don't see why not.

USB is on the right side looking from the front, see top image. You do need storage (like a flash drive) for time-slip and recording.

lincsat · 13-09-09, 12:45 PM

I now have these in stock with firmware loaded, ready to go
