Eurovox ex1000sl

[smoggy]

you need a null modem cable as well as the usb to serial adaptor
if you have those cables connected then you need to look in device manager and check that the usb adaptor is connected to one of ports 1,2,3 or 4
if you can't see the adaptor then it may need a driver installing for it to run

This is confusing me as everything is connected up correctly, the box is on standby, and i have followed the walkthrough to a tee!

is it something to do with the COM ports on my computer? I'm not using them as i explained above, it is running from my laptop via a usb adaptor!

Any help appreciated

thanks again.



EDIT: CLICKED ON COM3 PORT, Getting a message saying "Waiting for the response of your receiver", been waiting 10 mins now , and nothing has happened!!

Now then, i've had success!!!

currently scanning for channels now, but managed to get to the EMU menu!

wanna know how i did it?

had to go get me old dusty desktop PC out of the attic, think there was something wrong with that 9-pin to USB adapter i was trying to use with my laptop.

will update again if i get the encrypted ppv channels.

Thanks

I completely forgot about USB/serial issues, sorry dude. Should have thought to mention it. It sounds like you're the same as me for updating and Voxering. I have an old PC that doesn't even have a case for it, all the bits are in a cardboard box, no USB's or CD-ROM, but it does have a serial connection and an internet connection so it's sorted.

I hope you get yours sussed too.

Thanks mate!


any idea why the download program wouldn't let me view a CDF file i downloaded?

pressed browse, and took the .txt from the end of the file and replaced int with .CDF

still wouldn't let me browse to it, that had me stumped

A lot of the various DnUpMan variants have a problem when you want to edit a .cdf for your Eurovox. You can download your data from the pc to your Eurovox and vice versa but editing is a problem.

The best way to do it is to use Voxer, available through here. It's the last item in the list. It's fairly straight forward once you get it open. Have a look and hopefully it will make some sort of sense.

sod it, reckon i might do it by hand like.

can't be that difficult really, however, ive faved this thread so i know where to come if i ever need it.

My channels are still scanning like, hopefully it will be working soon so i can see Beckham knock three past you tonight

EDIT: Channel scan successful : /

I knew there was something shitty.....errr.....shifty about you and in that case I hope your Eurovox disappears up its own Voxer Pipe.

Nah, only kidding, just hope I've helped you get sorted. Sorting channels manually is quite therapeutic after a while. It's not that difficult. If you get stuck with anything give me a PM and I'll help if I can.

Up the Reds.

Yeah mate, thank you very much, i'd like to think i made an effort to actually look for myself rather than just posting monotonous drivel that some people post without using Google first.

it works anyway mate so cheers, if fact, the only one im missing is MUTV and thank f**k for that

Up the Boro

Thanks again.

[Phil3819]

You're most welcome.

Glad you're all sorted.

Now then guys!

i went through the painstaking method of organizing all of my channels to how i want them.

Then last week, my box went off again.

Before i did another scan, i made sure that i downloaded the CDF file that i had spent a while configuring, to my PC, so that after i scanned for the channels again, i could just get them all back in the same order as before

I had working channels again after i did a reset/channel scan.

However, when i loaded my CDF back onto my box, it was in the same state it was before i rescanned, is this because the CDF contains frequency data relating to each of the channels and they have all been shifted about?

how do i get the channels back in the order i want, without doing it all by hand again : / i said before i've had trouble downloading CDF files from here and changing the extension : / thats why i simply downloaded mine to my PC in the hope that this would work once i rescanned my box! how wrong was i!!!!

any help appreciated once again
