ex1100 oe ex6000sd ?????

[harper69]

basically i have a eurovox ex1100 at the min but the rf in port has broken so cant get good picture on all channels . was goin to buy another but noticed the 6000sd so im thinking about getting that one . the thing is im not very technical or good with computers and was very impressed with how easy the 1100 was to set up . no flashing or d/l firmware etc jus plug in search channels and they were ther within minutes . is the 6000sd that easy ??? if so i will be getting one cos they do sound better .. some1 let me no please

i think you might be better putting up with yer ex1100 for now.
take a look around the eurovox and general cable section and keep a close eye out and read any threads mentioning N3.then make your own mind up

Well I am sure they will still be on for the forseeable future, and yes I think you should definately get a 6000... It is light years ahead of the 1100 mate.

Even if it only lasts you a few months it will still be worth it.

Cheers.

yes i am still going to get one even if it is only for a short while... but my question was- is the 6000 as simple to set up as the ex1100 was. i like the way u just plug in, enter code and voila all channels are their ,, is it same for the ex6000sd ??? cheers matey's

you need to load the F/w as most only come with fta but it is really easy with these boxes just a case of getting a USB stick putting the file on it and then turning the box on it will then automatically update and after a power scan you will have all the channels! There is no need to enter any codes as the F/W takes care of all this!

If you have the firmware file named correctly (as it is in most places), you just extract it from the rar and put it on the USB stick and put the stick into the box - it updates itself automatically, you then just have to scan as mentioned.

I found it much easier on the 6000.

Plug the USB stick into the 6000 and turn it on.

That's it.

The rest of the flashing is totally automatic. I think this is the only box that does it for you.

cheers matey where do you download the firmware from ? il get that done and then i will order the 6000 off you as iv noticed your selling them ..

and can you buy a circuit board 4 the 1100 or even just the silver box with rf in and loop out port as its snapped thats all thats wrong with my ex1100 . if i cn fix that aswell and buy a splitter i could have it in 2 rooms

Firmware is on the Bigmaq toolbar. You can get circuit boards, but they are around £60, don't know if you can get just a tuner.
