Connection problems to Max V via com port - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi Guys,

Newbie and have tried searching to see whether there's any posts related to the problem i've had and unfortunately can't find anything. I cannot connect to my box using a null modem cable. At first I thought it was a config problem on my laptop but having checked (Device Manager), laptop is not the problem - the Eurovox is. Just to make sure I tried connecting using my desktop and same problem except got the error message: waiting for response. How do I configure the Eurovox com port? How do I get it working?

The box was previously working but don't know what my son did to it the other day but all channels have been deleted. When I scan...get nothing back. Hence why was just re-flashing and re-uploading the CDF file, but to no avail.

Thanks

Have your tried doing a factory reset and scanning on both symbol rates?

not tried the factory reset...will give it a go. With regards to the cable connection problems...think it's more related to this:

techwatch.co.uk/forums/33745-rs232-cable-to-max-v-connection-problems-2.html

A bit of searching and all the answers are there : - )

Will give reset a go first and if no joy then go down the PCI method.

Thanks
