not good...when its finished scanning NTL, Telewest, C&W, OM & Chorus. The names of the channels don't come up.
Instead it's TV1060 etc etc
Also there are no channel numbers, all our 5000.
I've done the scan twice now, and i as i was going through the channels to delete by pressing up, "data is being updated" came up, got to 100% are back to zero!
I,m another novice to this stuff and have a digivox. When i bought it off ebay it came with a grey cable to connect to the back of my pc and a cd to load the software. I followed all instructions and its worked great since. Now all boxes have gone off i,m back to square one.
so,
Do I connect the box to my pc as I did initially and download the software from you helpful people who have posted links.
I know its hard for some really intelligent computer experts to put things in baby speak for us idiots but please try.
Will this fix the latest hiccup?

To open this file... (i only used the XL version)
rename to .rar
Open in winrar (Welcome to Winrar)
extract the file.
add the extension .rar to the end of the extracted file.
open in winrar
extract the bin file.
I am not sure why this has been obfuscated.. but this method worked for me.
1. Connect the digivox to your pc using the RS232 cable via the serial port. This would be the grey cable that came with your box.
2. Download the loader for the software. You will need to download and install a program called Winrar or any other file compression program such as 7zip. Double click on the loader zip file, highlight the downloader 10 file, click extract, and select to extract the loader file to your desktop.
3. Now download the appropriate firmware from the first post for either your digivox or digivox XL box. Again you will need to extract the file, which will be a .bin file.
4. Now double click on the black and white downloader 10 icon. Turn on your box. Click the browse button (incorrectly spelt bwrose) , and navigate to and select the firmware bin file.
5. Make sure app file is checked, click download. Now wait for the progress bar to fill, and a dialogue box to appear which will say download complete. Not sure about the XL, but for the digivox while the firmware was downloading the front of the box displayed the progress of the download. (reaches 100 when complete) For me the download paused at 96 and 98.
6. Once download has completed, a diaogue box says "download complete". Wait for the box to say ON. Then turn it off, exit the loader and disconnect the box from your PC.
7. Connect the box back up to your tv, go to the menu, select factory setting, press OK and confirm you want to reset the box to factory setting.
8. Perform an full automated scan to pick up the channels. Do this by selecting Installation from the main menu, higlight automatic scan, select Telewest at the bottom and press OK. Now repeat this, but select another area at the bottom. Once you have scanned all areas (Telwest, NTL, C&W, Chorus and OM) go back to the main menu.
9.Now go to system information, press OK. (You should see here that the information on this screen confirms the firmware you have downloaded, has succesfully downloaded to the box.) Press 1 0 0 4 to access another menu. On this new menu turn emu ON.
10. Go to any subscription channel (such as Sky Sports 1), wait for the data to be upated and your all done!
