CAN ANYONE HELP ME, I KNOW I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE,BUT THAT IS ALL I DO KNOW,I RECIEVED A 9 PIN LEAD WITH IT,IM NOT TOO BRILLIANT ON COMPUTERS I KNOW VERY LITTLE, SO IS THERE SOME ONE OUT THERE THAT CAN EXPLAIN TO ME IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS HOW TO DO IT.THANKS


i had to send off for a rs232 to usb adaptor as the cable wouldnt fit,i have just plugged it in and the computer wont recognise the box,anyone help please

1st, you need to turn your caps lock off. then download this Digital Kaos - Downloads - eurovox pvr ex5000_v1.1_2exe (12/07/08) and this Digital Kaos - Downloads - DnUpMan firmware flash program hook up your box and your away

Apologies Shady, the latest firmware is 1.1A,http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ase-v1-1a-286/ (fix for timeslip button). No need for Dnupman as it is a UFL, (Unfied Firmware Loader). So just the 1.1A file required.

my mistake, sorry

[satsmo]

I apologised first

[shady77]

box plugged in and turned on, i had to buy an adaptor as the lead that came with it was female to female,fitted the box ok but nowhere to connect on computer,so i got the adaptor to fit in my usb port,i have downloaded the software ont to my pc but cant get it onto the box,as the computer isnt recognising it thanks

well there lies your trouble im not sure if you can flash your box through usb connection i have always used null modem to flash

you would have to find a way of getting the flash loader to recognize usb connection how i dont know but im sure someone will if you hang about

alternatively you must know someone friend,brother sister with the right port on there pc for flashing your box it may be the easier option

just borrowed a computer with the right port but it doesnt recognise the box,sorry i am a bit thick when it comes to these things,i know bits but not a lot,do i need drivers for my box? any ideas thanks

[thered]

right were abouts are you

you have the right firmware on the pc i take it?

your box is connected by the com ports via null modem cable?

if you have got this far make sure your box is plugged in

open the flash loader turn on the box then download this should work
