eurovox help

[lilik256]

i got the eurovox put the new firmware on it and i got most channels but i was missing a few for example skysports xtra and skymovies premier im new to this so im not sure what to do is there a code or a search that i can do to get them?

[satsmo]

Need to know your area and provider info.

[lilik256]

im on vm and im in london shall i get more specific on where i live

[satsmo]

Without going into full details just tell me what area of London. As I need to verify what ex provider you are on and what TPs are used in your area. A simple powerscan may do the job though.

[lilik256]

i live in south west london how do i do a power scan and what does it do

[satsmo]

A powerscan will find all the TPs, (frequencies) on your providers network. Press menu, installation, user installation, and you will see a list of frequencies. You will see your symbol rate it will either be 6952 or 6887. Should be 6952 as its an ex TW area. Just tell me which one and we can go from there. Also what firmware are you using. Press menu, config and system info and post what it says for SW revision.

BTW you must have scanned if you already have channels or did you get this box pre set.

[lilik256]

i have 6952 and with the sw revision 1.0 st4 jul 15 2008 and when i bought the box i did scan.

[satsmo]

Well thats a powerscan. You should have 34 TPs, (frequencies), can you see 491000 as one of them in user installation. When you done the scan did you do it from the direct feed, i.e. no splitter.

[lilik256]

i have 32 frequencies i havent got 491000 as one of them and i am using a direct feed.

[satsmo]

Go to menu- installation-user installation-ch edit(green button)add(red button)frequency-491.000-symbol rate 6887-press ok exit once press ok on the frequency you have just added ,then press manual scan.

[lilik256]

it is searching now how long will this take and what channels will this get me

[satsmo]

A minute and the ones you are missing hopefully.

[lilik256]

if it takes longer than 1 minute what does that mean

[satsmo]

It should find channels if the TP is valid, which that one is for you area and provider. If you are having problems it could be due to a weak signal input. I can give you a CDF for your area and provider if you like.

[lilik256]

it might be a weak signal due to the bar being red and not going beyond 20% what will the cdf file do and how will it help me

Hey recently got a western 120gb hdd drive for eurovox ex5000 pvr, programs record but playback shows very little or no picture. does anyone know if the hard disc needs to be formated first or not.

Thanks.

[satsmo]

A CDF, (Channel Definiton File) will contain all the TPs and channels for your area and provider. You can load this to your box if you want.

But do a factory reset first, (menu, config, clear data, factory settings) and then a powerscan. Menu, installation, user installation, start rate leave at 100.000Mhz, end rate change to 670.000Mhz, symbol rate is as said 6952. Press OK to scan.

If it still doesnt pick up all channels then I will give you the CDF, as its better to have your own scan as TPs may have changed.

[lilik256]

shall i delete all the channels then do the powerscan because when i went to clear data it sais delete all channels or factory sefault what shall i do

[satsmo]

Factory default and powerscan at the figures I gave you above.

[lilik256]

im doing a power scan now it never asked me for the symbol rate

[satsmo]

Its should pick 6952 as the default, but you should have done it via user installation as I posted above. It will just take longer.

[lilik256]

more channels came up but theres still no skysports xtra if i use the cdf file will that help me get it.

[satsmo]

OK heres the one I have for your area. You will need to clear you channel again data first, then load the CDF. There is a guide on how to do this in downloads here Digital Kaos - Downloads - Guides (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=29)

The CDF is for TW South West London.

[lilik256]

thanks for all the help before i do this i just want to ask something if i do this will i get skysports xtra, im on vm does it matter because the file sais telewest

[satsmo]

Xtra is contained within the CDF, so you should unless you have a weak signal, (you could try booster if thats the case), or TP has changed. Sorry but I have to leave hope it works out for you.

[lilik256]

could you give me some info on the cdf file how 2 upload it etc

[satsmo]

I gave you a link to a guide in downloads with the CDF above. Now I really do have to fly sorry.

[lilik256]

it sais the winzip wizard cannot open this file it does not appearto be a valid archive are you ment to open this with winzip or something else/

Similar problem i have been having with my hard drive, saying it is recording then nothing stores on HD. I turned box off took HD out and put back in, turn box on again recorded sky sports for 5 mins went to PVR and worked. So i have left a recording on from 11.30 last night to see if taped. Will check when i get in from work. (contacted supplier said will replace if not working properly.)

[freecableplz?]

Hi all, I'm fairly new to all this, got a Eurovox EX5100 PVR with software pre-loaded onto it. had the box about a month and had done a deep scan and signed up to the site here whilst wating incase I needed help. everything was working fine except for not being bothered to re-arrange the channels.

a couple of days ago channels started scrambling up and becoming pretty useless.

I've now re-loaded the firmeware onto the box of of this site but am having issues finding all the channels.

I'm currently running a powerscan (deep scans only really present either 6 or 10 channels) and will post the outcome, but I wanted to know if someone could link me to a CDF for the 5100?

I'm on VM, previously Blueyonder/NTL. I live in teh south-west area of London.

The coax cable come direct from the wall, no splitters. there is a signal conditioner connected though, but this was because we are too close to the area distribution station or something. can't remember.

Any help appreciated.

EDIT:

I've finished the powerscan now and I'm back up to 260-odd channels, but am still interested in obtaining a structured CDF.
