Eurovox Max 2008 (V)

Fancy buying something that wont work with Nagra3

My friend and I bought one of these boxes at the same time. Mine had a weird fault with the controller and I got it exchanged. My friends became defective and lost all the channels, he got an exchange for a starview (better box- more stable).

My replacement box is riddled with problems.

1. Epg menu doesn’t respond quickly/ freezes/ box locks up. Sometimes I have to wait for a while for the tv menu to appear, other times I have to switch the box off
2. controller commands can freeze box up. This happens rarely but is annoying as it might fix itself or I have to switch the box off
3. Channel update doesn’t update only the channels you want, it also adds the channels you deleted again and then autosorts your manually organised channel listings - which is crap.
4. fast install works fine, but the auto sort doesn’t place all channels in correct listings.
5. Some found channels lack titles, so require manual editing to rename them- which will be lost again once you have to update the channels/ factory reset the box
6. Manually organising your favourites, besides being a waste of time- because every time you have to reset/update all your efforts will be lost (which I have to do once a month). When you manually organise , you cant do more than 20-40 channels without exiting and saving and then going back in to continue, else the box will freeze and will reset with a pop. This will result in loosing all your efforts.
7. Storing an imagine of your channel listing is another waste of time as that appears to store the bug/ current encryption code. So if you need to update your channels or the encryption code has changed the channel listing imagine stored on your pc wont work.
8. Channels stop working. Currently this happens with fly movies and disco real channels. The channels get the following messages’ please insert smart card’ ‘please wait, code being updated’. If your box is like mine, you can do a factory reset, switch it off n on, unplug it, do an fancy dance, sing it a love song and all it will do is flicker the same messages up….

So For £100, for a box that has a better menu that a starview….. well idea rather wished I had exchanged for a starview like my friend as having to update my box every few weeks, isn’t good.
I think the firmware needs redoing as its just too unstable, quite glitchy.

IM quite unhappy with this box

very good would buy another one paid for itself over.

cool box easy to work with and update wen needed and of course wen available

A Super piece of kit for the money!
Has paid for its self several times in the 18 months I've had it!
Has gone down twice, but like me, I'm sure you chaps and chapesses out there can get the new firmware or codes to manually plumb in no probs!

does exactly what it says on the tin

although pricey for a new one well worth it such a great dofference with the latest updates such a more professional look that any other box on the market an i have compared loads *view/ replay lite/ digivox and d box's the lot

If you are looking for a Set Top Box to view your channels, but you haven't got a Technical mind, this is the box for you
Great quality, and if set up correctly, it will never give you any problems and the picture quality is almost perfect, at a resolution of 720x576
I really recommend the Eurovox, probably the best cable box around!

Had a bit of a problem flashing the box with the firmw@re, but now it's working and I've sussed it out it was the best £90 quid I've spent! 200+ chans and picture quality is perfect.

great box love it;-)

This is a quality built box. Good feature, ease off use and reliable. Has a great team of developers who release regular updates...(just got the recent firmware)...also there is great support on the formus.
Would love it had an ethernet function for updating...however even the current way is made very easy and straightfoward.

Apart from the updated fixes and firmware one can easily munually input codes...handy!!

This box is a good money saving investment...

A fantastic box, very easy to set up even for newbies. Also with recent code changes, I haven't had any majot problems, just a case of putting in temporary keys and the updating with new firmware.
Great box all in all, and plenty of support on various forums if you do have any issues.
100% Recommended!

euro-vox max/v
not overly impressed,picture keeps breaking up, does not work at all at the moment and it's less than 12months old.
some channels cannot be viewed at all, wouldnt buy another

euro vox max is bull shit. I have euro vox max 2007. But there is no way to go inside to put new codes. it is bull shit.
Can u tell me that how can I go inside to put new code

This is an exelent box, made for everyone with no problems and works very well for what its designed to do. Its missing some menu, timer and connection features which I would like, but then worth every cent.

Fantastic, easy to use & set up especially if your'e a novice!!

excellent no prob's yet?

First one i bought had a fault and exchange wasnt a problem as i bought from pc fair ith 12mnths waranty.
Box is simple enough for me as im a complete novice, whose only understanding is plugging in a freeview box.
My only grips are more wish list than faults. The menu for organising the channels can become a pain if your trying to sort the channels manually- in channel manager. As if you accidently click on the red button all channels are then re-organised in alphabetical- loosing your manual settings.
I wish the box had the feature to go through the tv guide and add reminders so that when your fav program is about too take on another channel it reminds you and gives the option to change channel now- wen program starts or cancel.

But maybe im just being greeding!.

Top class box easy to use and understand, picture perfect!!

A truely remarkable unit and has a superior tuner to the other STB'S on the market.

On my opinion this box is the best when compared to the other STB'S such as any of the Starview models & the new kryptview aRNeT which does have some cool features but again reliability and stability the Eurovox comes out top banana.

Excellent box and easy to use.Less problematic than other boxes on the market that claim to be best

Without doubt the best box of its kind out there at the moment.
Far superior to starview & digivox

Had mine since September...well pleased with this Eurovox

Got this box for £100 delivered. After a few minutes setting up, its run fine from day one. only had to scan once in 3 months.

An excellent product with lots of support through this forum
