    to be honest you might as well throw the box in the bin, as to get it to the same functionality as the DBox 2 is impossible but very difficult indeed and resources on the internet are very limited.

    Precondition is a multicam with amon chip and a funcard with dbox1 files.
    Autoupdate is not possible.
    A dbox1 with multicam and funcard is a nice box if you use it as second or third box for the kids for instance.
    If the keys are rolling you simply take the new keys from your dbox2 or dreambox and update the funcard.

    Lol if i were you id stick it back on ebay and see what sorta cash you get for it , then just put the rest to it and get a dbox2. To get a dbox1 functioning is a pain in the a*rse for some1 who is not fimiliar with the process

    All the best mate on what ever your decision may be

    You need a funcard with special dbox1 files. The funcard is only working if a multicam with amon chip is fitted to the box.
    As mentioned above autoupdate is not possible. You have to update the keys after every keyroll.

    If you haven't paid for the box yet I'd take the neg feedback hit and tell the seller you made a mistake & let them make a 2nd chance offer to someone else.

    what you'll need is:

    1) A DBOX1 with the cable tuner.
    2) The Dr Jamal 2003 firmware loaded
    3) The Irdeto cam patched with anon 5.4
    4) Any old version 4.3 6in1 flash and external EEP
    5) ISVEdit for adding keys to the 6in1 external EEP file
    6) dvbedit for downloadin and uploading channel listings to/from the DBOX1
    Getting a working card
    ---------------------
    First of all you need to get the fun 6in1 hex version Flash4.3 (not 4.4 as it doesn't work so well) and any old EEP (external eeprom file) for 6in1 (one should come with the zip file). Do a search for xamuh or jettyboy 6in1 and you should get some hits. You also need the ISVEdit editor which you can get from google too.
    1) Load the EEP hex into ISVEdit
    2) Select Editor, then select the Nagra tab.
    3) Check the boxes next to Provider 1, key 0 AND key 1. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO THIS
    4) Enter the current keys for your area into the Provider 1 key 0 and Key 1 boxes.
    5) Click the Write To Memory button.
    6) Click close
    7) Save the hex file
    Program a funcard with the Flash4.3 into the flash and the EEP file into the EXTERNAL eeprom. If you don't know how to do this then you won't get far I'm afraid.
    You should now have a good 6in1 file to use in your dbox 1. Stick the card into it and leave it.
    Finding/Getting the channels
    ---------------------------
    1) You need to go into the tuner menu and do a search on each transponder frequency (There should be a services.xml file for the dbox2 that you can pick up the freqs and symbol rates for your area from. Simply enter the freq and symbol rate then hit 9 (search)
    NB: Only the first 4 digits of the freq are entered i.e. 579.25MHz should be entered as 5792
    2) Add any channels found on each frequency to the channel line up
    3) Once you have searched all the transponders, save the channel list using dvbedit and a null modem lead to your PC. You can find dvbedit via google.
    4) For each and every scrambled channel you need to do the following
    a) Change to the channel
    b) You now need to manually tell the DBOX1 to use the nagra EMM (1800) on each and every scrambled channel
    When on the selected channel, go into the jamal menu to do an emm & ecm search. (Menu (blue) - C (Red) then 0, then 1 to select the emm - ecm pair.
    Note that FTA channels do not need this and will give an error when you do an emm & ecm search, just leave the FTA as is and skip to the next channel.
    c) You now need to replace the old channel with this new EMM one - Go to (Menu (blue) - 7 (PIDS) - A (YELLOW) - 3 (REPLACE)
    (The reason you have to do this is that you cannot set (AFAIK) the jamal software to autodetect nagra EMMs (1800) it will only auto detect irdeto (0602) thus you have to force it to decode nagra EMM manually for each channel (total bummer)
    5) Once you have done this for every scrambled channel download the list again using dvbedit and the null modem lead.
    (You can then use this file for any other dbox that you want to use without going through this tortuous process again)
    6) Rearrange your channel list on the PC using DVBedit then send it back to the dbox.
    7) You should now have free tv!
    Hopefully some members with old DBOX1s will find this useful.
    Good Luck!

    Negative feedback for the seller because the buyer did a mistake.
    Are you sure you are allright?
    The seller advertised the box clearly as dbox1 as mentioned in posting 2.

    Forget that crap. The author of that tut never fully understood whats going on.
    There are special dbox1 funcard files needed and every dvb2000 version will do the job.
    For scanning there is a UK scan enabled DVB2000 version on the market.

    Could you please explain a bit more about the funcard files that are needed?

    I am a mug that bought one of these boxes thinking it was a Dbox2.

    I have got a Funcard 6 and programmer but don't know where to get the files for the card.

    Cheers

    Check first if you got a multicam with amon chip.
    Menue button -> 8 -> 4 Caminfo
    The softwareversion is shown in the second line, the line under DVB2000.
    You can leave the menues via the TV button.

    Its a thin cam with blue sticker. Such a modul is not convertable.
    You need a extra multicam with amon chip if you want to go dbox1 direction.

    Yes, I can see a blue sticker on the cam.

    So where do I get a multicam with amon chip from?

    You can get one via german ebay for instance.
    Go to http://www.ebay.de/ and type amon in the search field.

    You know what?

    I'm a bigger mug than I let on.

    I actually bought a bundle of 5 Dboxes. My mates are screaming at me for buying the wrong boxes, lol.

    I'll have a look on Ebay now. I hope I can find some.

    Thanks again mate, you have given me fresh inspiration.
