Eurovox Max 2008 (V)

(Digital set top boxes (DVB-C))

"Both my freind and i bought one of these boxes from the local pc fair and came with 12months waranty.
Easy to setup for a novice and is great when it all works trouble free- breafly.
My first box the controller didnt work except when you pointed at funny angles and stood accross the room.
My exchange box has glitches in it.
A. when the box is switched on from standby and you press EPG, the box doesnt respond and neither the controller. Then with in 30seconds- 5 minutes or so - all the buttons that you pressed in panick will exicute the various commands quickly, Almost like the box had a 'blockage' that has cleared.
B. Sometimses when exiting the EPG menu a notice will pop uup ' please insert card'. This wont go unless you call up the epg angain n exit it.
C. Sometimes an information sign will appear' Please wait, code being updated. This can take from a few seconds to minutes

Currently most of my channels are not responding, i have 80% signal, but i have a notice saying, please wait code being updated- yet nearly an hour has passed and nothin. i have reset te box and still the same thing.
I will probably tkae the box back and get a Starview insted- the epg make suck but i would rather be able to watch a programme on a stable box than this crap.
My mate's box, went back to the pc fair too as even thought the signal strenght was 800% he could recieve half the channels- he exchanged for a new starview."
