Basic 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.

2 B WE NOW HAVE THE VOXER 2 LOADER WHICH CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF DNUPMAN THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF THE VOXER 2 IS YOU CAN CONVERT A 4 FAVORITE CHANNEL DUMP INTO AN 8 FAVORITE CHANNEL DUMP FOR USE WITH THE LATEST 8 FAVORITE MAX BIN FILE

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; Now on 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.

8;If you have a channel data file for your area then load this on the lower window on the loader programme if not you need to do a scan
Now press the blue button (powerscan) (the colour options on the remote and on screen differ for the EVMAX) 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 untill 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.
If you have any missing channels then
Press menu on the remote...
press the direction button to highlight user installation
press ok
enter PIN, 0000

press the RED button
MASTER RESET CODE IS 1004 you will need this if you change the pin code and forget what you changed it to

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.
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.
