[andy4]

well install this firmware Digital Kaos - Downloads - UFL_EX5100PVR_DarX_16-01-09 on your pooter then flash it to your box then do a scan

Hi Andy, I've installed t'firmware on t'pooter but just realised the blinking pooter doesn't have a 9 pin scart thingy so I'm going to have to take a trip to maplins 2moz and get a usb adapter thing.....bet you're astounded at how technical I am!! I was just a bit concerned that we aren't even getting all the freeview channels through the box at the mo let alone anything else ?
We're practically neighbours by the way, I'm in Warrington!! Looking forward to the start of the season....might be why I'm desperate to get this thing up and running !!!

[andy4]

hey katie we all have to start somewhere
let us know how you get on

[katieshakey]

will do, thanks.

Hi to anyone who might be able to help !!!
I've been trying to flash my ex5100pvr now for the last 3 hours with no success. I've got the box connected to the laptop via the two cables - installed the usb driver software after a few problems. Box is on standby. Soon as I try to download am getting the 'no availbable port' message. I've followed the advice off the forum and been into device manager and selected ports 1, 2 3 and 4, one after the other, over and over again and am still getting the same message. I realise I am probably doing something glaringly obviously wrong but I need someone to point it out if you can. The only other thing is that, on the advice of another website, I have not got the box connected to anything other than my laptop and the power (am i being a compete twit!!) - is this where I'm going wrong - should I be connected to the 'cable supply'? Thanks.

You don't need to have the cable connected to the cable feed. Just power and connection to computer really for the flashing part.

When you plug in your box to the PC, does it come up with a "New USB device detected" message?

Try forcing the com port change to Port 3. Reboot PC for good measure and try again.

I'm thinking of getting one of these EX5100 PVR's

Can someone recommend a reputable supplier (uk)?

How do they compare to the Dbox picture wise?

Thanks guys

I never flash boxes on standby. Try powering-up box & then flash.
It's no harm to connect scart to TV before flashing, as screen will keep you informed. If you have H/drive inserted remove it until after flash.
One more thing you could try, that might help.
MENU--OK--1968--1968---HIT BLUE(default key) , then try flash.
I feel we may speak again. Call back & let forum know how you get on.
Best of luck with it.
If you find your hitting a brick wall make sure comport is 1,2,3.or 4
You could save firmware on USB-stick, go to friend's house who has P.C. with 9-pin com port. If this fails try SAMARITANS

[priceyson27]

[jg1875]

Hi all, i have flashed my ex5100 pvr, scanned my box, had every channel going untill i noticed there was no sound on some of my movie channels, i have scanned the box to find i have less channels everytime i scan, i have next to nothing left.

Earlier on in the week my services got cut off, but my bills have been paid and i am now active.

ITS OK, I HAVE DONE A FACTORY RESET AND RE-SCANED, GOT ALL MY CHANNELS, GET IN!

HAPPY DAYS.

EX5100 problems

Hi all,
I have just bought an EX5100 which was preloaded with FTA software. I tried a scan anyway and found it only showed free to air channels. I downloaded the UFL from here and tried to flash iit but it just said download fails. Anyway, i tried it on tv again just in case it worked and box wouldn't come out of stand by mode. I switched it off with power button on back and now the switch seems to be locked in the off position. It will not switch on.
Anyone any ideas? Are they now being sold with some kind of protection or has my box gone faulty just by coincidence?
