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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The CDF is for TW South West London.

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.

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.)
