The Box PVR Dual Tuner - Factory Original Software

[wolves4eva]

Hi

Havin trouble with said box as you can probably tell from my posts in other threads!!!

As a last resort........

Is there a manufacturers original software to get box to factory settings? If so is this downloaded in rs232 format and where can it be found?

Many thanks
Dave

doing a factory reset will get the box back to factory settings no firmware to do this you will need to remove firmware to get it to the that point
but that will not get your channels back m8
are you uk or irl

[wolves4eva]

ok

Hi

I am UK. Covered by vermin

Can't undestand why download says successfull but box does nothing after scan....says 0 chanels found, signal strength 0

even more confused, ever wished you'd never started something?

Cheers
Dave

[martin-f]

what provider are you scanning
what area do you live
are you sure your feed is live

[wolves4eva]

ok

I've tried the downloads on that link, the ony one I can't is http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...d=464&act=down

which says the file link requested is not valid

It is suppose to have the firmware and downloader!

yep

Hi

Yes I have tried a few things

I have followed the threads, and read them and read them and read them. I have tried many things.

Regarding that particular thread I have read it a few times and also pm'd Dell a few times and he has come back with a lot of useful info.

Don't know now what to do, maybe there is a very stupid simple solution but I can not put my fnger on it.


The scrap yard is looking good.

I have a eurovox ex1000sl working well i another room.

heaven knows

Don't know how but I have THE BOX logo back on screen!

Can't load channels still though, still saying level 00% and quality 00%

I have just loaded bin file TheBoxPVR_v3105_08Dec2008 via PVR_v4.01_Jul_11_2007 loader

This has returned my "THE BOX" screen logo but alas no channels!

Cheers

is this how you have loaded firmware

connect your box to PC via null modem cable (and usb adaptor if you need to use one)
follow the serial download instructions until you get B-30 or B-31 (ready to download message) on front panel
run the PVR loader
click on the browse button which will open an explorer window
browse to your firmware file and click on it, then click on the open button and this will load the file to the loader
in FILE TYPE select App file only
in device manager check that your com port (or usb adaptor) is set to the same serial port as the loader then hit the download button

yep

Hi

Yes it is.....is that a good thing or bad thing?

Done everything I can think of, at least I have "The Box" logo back on screen.....BUT no channels, search and level 00%, quality 00%

Could it be anything to do with the loop incorrect? What is the correct loop? Cable Loop 1 output to Cable Loop 2 Input or other way?

Cheers

the latest file is 21/12/2008.bin
also out of curiousity where did you get the pvr 4.01 loader

I have never seen one of these boxes so can only guess that loop out from 1 goes to loop in of 2
is it possible to have a splitter where the cable feed is split and one goes to one tuner and the other to the other tuner.

Hi
Yes I have tried feed with another box, no problem

I am in midlands, vermin

I got the loader from here I think, I have tried that many sites I am getting a bit dizzy!

[smoggy]

I wasn't referring to splitting the feed to another box I was on about splitting it to the 2 different tuners on your PVR dual tuner box

[wolves4eva]

dont know

Hi Smoggy

I don't know, I'm finding it difficult enough getting past the supposedly easy first stage!!!


cheers
