Don't know about the analogue part, but I recently had the same problem as you with my Eurovox Max. Tried a Full power scan and a Normal Power scan with no success.

I fixed it by doing the "Clear Data" then doing a power scan with the following settings:

Mode=Normal
Start=100 (339 would do though)
End=880 (770 would suffice)
Symbol Rate=6.887 (This is for NTL from what I've read)
Symbol Rate=6.952 (This is for Telewest methinks - no harm in using both)
Step=8

Good luck.

How To Change The Eurovox Channel Listing Using DnUpMan
Do this after you have done a power scan

Connect your null modem cable to your eurovx and switch it on

Open DnUpMan

Go to Channel Data and press Upload you will then get a "save as" box asking you to name your file and select the location you wish to save it to (desktop is as good as any). you will notice that the path to your newly uploaded file will be shown in Channel Data text box.

Once you have completed this you can the select edit button this will open a new window...you need to press the "CH List" button as this will open the channel list in its current order.

to move the channels all you do is left click and hold until you have moved them into the position required.
Then press apply to save your ammended listings.
Close the Channel list box then press exit you will be prompted to save your modified data...press yes and it will retun to the main DnUpMan user interface.
In Channel data press download to send the ammended channel list back to the eurovox.
DO NOT SWITCH OF THE EUROVOX UNTILL THE LCD HAS RESET ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX.
Once the lcd has flashed and reset the channel listing change is complete.

Hope it helps

Hi, im about to buy a eurovox box to attempt to gain all freeveiw and cable channels, i.e sky sports , sky movies. Could anyone please inform me if they know of how to set these boxes up. Also do i need an existing cable/satalite tv package subscription, with basic package to acheive my sky channels. Or does it just simply work like a freeveiw box. Regards

[gerryg]

you will need an existing cable package, even the basic one will do. As regards setting them up it all depends on which part of the country you are in, which frequencies you use.i.e the 2 symbolrates are 6.887 or 6.952, I think most use 6.887. I am also under region 8 (I stay in Glasgow).Usually once you do your first power scan the box will kick in and work out the region and symbols for itself.You should also get simplified instructions with your box.

madedrus01, if you have broadband cable you can use it to set up and run eurovox,buy a good splitter then hook them both up.I would recomend you set euro up with your main cable then use splitter to feed both.

can anyone help me please. im new to eurovox and even newer to forums. the problem is i cant receive anything when i do a scan. i know how to turn on the emu when i need to and enter the codes for the provider key but all this about th frequencies has me in a heap. a factory reset has just been done on the box and it's using jan 2007. it worked fine until yesterday when one of the kids messed it up. any help would be greatly appreciated before i pull the rest of my hair out.

many thanks in advance.

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 dabbaman/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 from our download section.

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 dabbaman/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.

Now for the pain in the ass part, organizing your channels into favourites. The way i did it was to add all the general channels to (fav1) sports & movies to (fav2) kids & music to (fav3) and news & documentary to (fav4). Adult and ppv stuff I put in (fav2) after everything else. Once all this was done I changed the names of the fav groups within favourite manager. Remember your pin no to get into any settings is 0000. Or if you've changed it and somehow managed to forget it you can use 1004.

I think it would be a good idea for all members to upload their channel data to the forum after everything has been organized into favourites, stating their area and provider. This will make it easier for others in future. Also I have noticed that the CC's occasionally mess around with channels and transponders, in which case certain channels may be missing from time to time. By doing an autoscan (red button) within the installation menu you will pick these channels back up again and it shouldn't affect the layout of your favourites much unless the broadcast frequency of the channel changes. In this situation the channel will be found again by doing an autoscan but afterwards will only be found from the main channel list that you access by pressing the TV button. Channels that were missing before the autoscan are usually found near the end of the channel list.

HI IT DID NOT GO AS PER THE PLAN, NO CHANNELS FOUND OR ANY SCREEN CAME SAYING THE WAIT UPLOADIDNG, WHAT DO I DO
