Have you tried pressing the blue button then from the menu selecting your area. Then doing a scan

 

if my box suddenly went off and i need to flash it is there anything i should now like save the xml files etc etc whilst its working

 

Just got a Nokia Dbox2 from Germany. I've flashed it with The Don's image, loaded a local services and bouquets file and didn't even need to scan for channels, all there and working. Super!!!

 

just did a service scan on my dbox2 and no picture or sound with a message coming up that says waiting for time any help appreciated

 

hi,can someone tell me how to backup my services xml from my dbox to computer,sorry if this is stupid question,new to this.

 

hey man not entirely sure but you should be able to use an ethernet cable to transfer the images to create a backup. oh and btw the problem i recently posted that i was having is resolved but thanx anyway

 

You have to use an FTP client, browse to the /var/tuxbox/config/zapit folder and copy the files from there. The username/password is root/dbox or root/dbox2.

 

cheers mate

 

I can tell you all that it would appear that this image only works with Telewest. I've tried in a TW area and it picks up over 300 channels, however, I've now tried 3 different addresses around staffordshire that have NTL and get the same result every time - no channels found.

I'll continue to experiment and hopefully find an image that works with NTL. In the meantime, if anybody knows of one that I could try, please let me know the name and where I might get it...or PM me with it if you have it.

 

the link to commando 6 in this thread work on ntl as I'm using it.

 

Hi, i have a black nokia dbox2 which im selling for £40, sometimes you get a patchy pic other times it says waiting for time. ideal for somebody who knows what they are doing, maybe a faulty tuner ?

 

hey i will buy it off you, email me at dboxhelp@yahoo.co.uk or netwave@ntlworld.com

 

£40 is cheap m8 try flogging it on ebay. I will have it for £40 also lol

 

i,m having problem finding some of the channels on my my dbox2 (only getting epg but no video). It was ok originally until i started messing about with the settings. I tried changing emu selection (which helped a mates dbox) but its not working for me.

Any help with this?

 

just reflash your box then if it worked ok and leave the setting alone if box is working fine

 

Well, things appear to be going from bad to worse. I've tried a booster, I've tried reflashing a new image (commando6) and still I found no channels. Now whatever I do to try a scan I get "transponder scan failed" and I've noticed that my signal strength doesn't change whether I have the co-ax cable connected or not. I think I'm asking a dumb question here but has anybody experienced anything like this before or have I, more than likely, broken the tuner?
