Eurovox 7000hd scanning and installation problems

[nickelfraz]

Hi,

Having real trouble picking up any channels on the ex7000!
Done everything by the book so far to my knowledge.

Latest update on USB named Flash.tbn
Put the USB in, turn the box off then on again.

Doing the scan - can't pick anything up!

If anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks
Fraz

alright fella,

once you downloaded the firmwear, did you unzip it first before renaming it?
unzip, copy image to usb then rename it
switch box off, plug in usb then switch on and front of box should then show update
once updated, switch off box so it reboots, then do a deep scan

hope this helps

Thanks for replying.
I did exactly what you said, unfortunately still no joy.

The box extracts and seems to flash correctly. After 'deep scanning' though - the box says 'channels none'.

Can't figure out what is going wrong.

Are there settings I need to be tampering based on the area? (Hatfield, Hertfordshire)

Are you sure you have the latest firmware?
It is dated 12/03/09.

Digital Kaos - Downloads - *NEW* EX7000HD Firmware 12/03/09

[nickelfraz]

Yep 100% sure it's that firmware

so far you are dowing every thing right the only thing i can think of is the symbol rate are you scanning the right one for your area it will be 6887 or 6952 try both

[nickelfraz]

Yeah, tried both rates.
Do you think it could be a problem with the box? If so, is there a way I can tell (other than the fact it won't pick up channels)?

Scans for ages but no channels come up. The cable lead is defo in the 'rf in' slot.

do you have a live feed try another box to test it

[nickelfraz]

Yeah the virgin box works fine

do you get fta channels (bbc1 , bbc2 , itv )

[nickelfraz]

No, no channels are being found
I get through to the page with TV channels and radio channels each with a box underneath - both empty. A progress bar at 50%, strength bar at 96% and occasionally flashing and quality at 0%

quality is wrong it should be at around 82 try a factory resat then deep scan if that dosent work contact your supplier and arange a replacement it looks like the tunner is ~~~~ed

Did you rename the file FLASH.TBN from flash_120309.tbn before putting it into the box.

Morning Guys,

I am having much the same problems as nickelfraz is having and my signal is much the same 96% to 99% even with a 3db dropper in-line but if i persevere it works but takes three or four goes !

Do you think if i was to put a 10 or 12db dropper in-line it will brings the signal down to a reasonable level ?
