eurovox has just died...... so i need to get this 500c going asap.

this has to be the most frustrating box ive ever used. menu doesnt make much sense.

anyway. i can scan and find channels but they dont save and it seems my bouquets file is missing, any way i can sort this out,

thanks in advance

As you are discovering DB's are not for the casual enthusiast - by the time you figure it out properly Nagra 3 will have arrived!

gee thanks...... it was working before. says no channels were found, please copy the services.xml and ubouquets.xml or execute a channel scan, i do that but still get nothing, although 300 were found

is there any way to do a factory reset then scan again?

hm..... just another thought, what frequencies should i enter for the glasgow (greenock) area?

quick update... fiddled with all settings and reloaded all plugins,

now back in business with all channels, thanks to everyone on the board for their help

exactly what did you change m8

when im tryin to reload plugins it aint doin any thing

eniness · 11-03-10, 01:09 PM

i deleted all channels - reboot - press info - blue button to enter utils menu - make sure tuner is set to use new tuner - exit a few times to blank screen - press menu - sevice menu - system scan - mines was set to cable uk 6887 (this depends on your image) then scan..... once its done and found channels you need to reload plugins and reboot.. you still will have no channels found, you need to edit bouquets and add channels to the all channels bouquet.

aint at home so instructions are from memory, menus may be slightly different
