Tutorial for Eurovox 1, 2 and Max

Written mainly for the EuroVox 2 but basically the same for all. For these boxes all you need is the .voxer/dnupman program and a null modem serial cable (same as for dbox), Cable feed and a TV obviously, and you will need the relevant firmware .

1; Connect cable input to the RF in socket on your eurovox, Also connect box to your pc with null modem cable and also to your TV with scart. And lastly insert the power lead and switch on.

2; Open the voxer/dnupman program and confirm you have the correct com port, then select your firmware depending on the model of your box. ie; EV1 = eurovox with 1 scart, EV2 = eurovox with 2 scarts and EVMAX = latest model.

3; Apply power to the box and wait untill (----) appears on the front. If your box has been flashed before it wont display this, it'll just show 4 normal digits.

4; Click on download in the top half of the dabbaman/dnupman window. Then click start in the following window. If your box has not been flashed before it will say (system reset), when this happens reboot the box by removing and reapplying the power lead. If box has been flashed before do not remove power lead, just wait a moment and it will start downloading. If you are trying to flash an EV2 and you get a message saying "this firmware is not fit for your receiver", you must flash with the (EV2 for firmware error) flash.

5; The firmware should now be flashing to the box. (dnld) will appear flashing on the front display. the process takes a few minutes so be patient.

6; Once flash has completed (0000) will appear on front of box.

7; If this is the first time the box has been flashed your TV you should have the user installation screen with an info window saying (please check your cable status) press the exit button on your remote and proceed to step 8. If the box has been flashed before you will have to press the menu button then highlight config then clear data followed by pin no of 0000. In the next screen erase all channels should be highlighted then press the ok button twice. Once the "wait to delete all channels" window has disappeared press the exit button. Now highlight the installation menu and press ok followed by the pin no again.

8; Now press the blue button (powerscan) (the colour options on the remote and on screen differ for the EVMAX this will be the yellow button) this will open another smaller window with the heading "full power scan". If you are on the T/W network press the OK button, if however you are on the NT! network you will have to highlight within the window the first entry for symbol rate, usually (6.952) and edit this to (6.887)then press OK. The box will now scan all frequencies and find all active transponders for your area, Then it will scan them all for channels. This can be a long process, So go and have a cuppa and a read of your newspaper.

9; If everything has gone to plan you should now have channels, when you go to an encrypted channel you wll usually get the message "please wait updating code" it is important you stay on this channel until it clears, as this is the box intercepting the latest encryption keys. Allow a few minutes for this process to happen, I would say no longer than 10.

once again thanks for your prompt reply.

You can also flash your eurovox just connecting to your PC and connecting to TV once uploaded.
