dbox problem. No codes to change?

Hi, Having trouble with dbox and codes like a lot of other users,
mine as gone off and having got to the menu were you change the codes there is no codes there to change. How do i put the new codes in and do you have to put in the time and date with the code.
Any help would be very helpful. Thanks Topsite

 

Is there a keylist.old file in the dir ? if there is you can copy a line from it into keylist.txt but use the latest keys.
Or you can ftp a new keylist.txt if you are familiar with ftp.

 

Thanks for reply,
There is no keylist. old in the dir
i have managed to figure out how to put a code into the keylist but with me having no old codes to begin with not sure what the full code is for my area (middlesbrough) ex; rom10 au key?
This might help if i new this. Cheers

 

Look at this thread, theres a user on it helping me and he has a shared folder in his sig that has a full set of codes, there should be a keylist there to help you.
HTH

 

Hi, Yeah had a look at the files in the tread, got the new codes but need the end bit of the code to try them, example rom10 au.....
the other file for downloading.. not to sure what i am looking for with me been a bit of a div...can you help anymore my friend. Thanks topsite

 

;ROM7 AU Key Time Mon Jun 4 22:03:15 2007

is what you need after your code, the time and date dont really matter they are just a note but the ROM7 is important because this is the rom you need to enable, disable all other roms

 

Hi thanks for that,
Sorry to keep asking but the code as just changed again for my area
will it be ok to put the new code in with the date and time you have surgested as i will put it all in, or can i put in any time and date
Thanks Again topsite

 

YOu can use any date and time, this is just a note to yourself so you remember the latest codes you used. The only part that matters is the codes and the ref to the ROM
Good Luck!

 

Hi, Thanks again, will give this a try now and hopefully we might get some were. Topsite

HI
I had to leave mine on on a non-terrestial channel (like sky sports) for 10mins before it came up.
Can you put your keylist.txt here? (sorry I'm not at home so I can post mine)

 

The new codes for your area are posted here

 

what do you go into to enter new codes??

thanks

 

Hi,
1 press blue button on remote
2 scoll to tuxbox commander, press ok
3 you should be now looking at the files of the dbox
4 lefthand side of screen scroll to keylist.txt then press the number 4 on remote, you need to press 4 so you can edit the codes
5 you should now be looking at the var/keys/keylist.txt at the top,2,3 codes in the middle and numbers 1 - 9 at bottom
6 scroll to the old code and then press ok, this will make the code slightly larger
7 change the code to the new one with the number on remote
8 once done this press ok, then home,it will then ask you to save, scroll acress and press ok
9 you will have changed the code then press home again
10 you must now reboot the system, press the dbox button scoll to the reboot and press ok and hopefully you should have your channels back, but beware , N*L are changing the codes every 6-8 hrs of late so you will have to keep changing the codes. down load bigmaq toolbar, this keeps you upto date with latest codes.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Go into the pvr devices forum and look for thread 'setting your dbox with remote control' message dated 7 april @ 16.45 by scoopdog,
there is a more detailed way of doing this that might help you.
Thanks Topsite

 

0 - download bigmaq toolbar at http://bigmaq.ourtoolbar.com/ and install, on the toolbar there is "latest keys"
this will give you all the new keys for telewest etc your old provider before virgin took over.

1 - press the blue button on your DBOX - and go to option Tuxbox file manager/commander press ok.

2- then scroll down to the option that says "var" and press ok

3- scroll down to "keys" and press ok

4- scroll down to "keylist.txt and press 4 (DO NOT OK)to edit you must PRESS 4

4a- delete all keys by pressing ok to highlight and then 8, exit if it asks you to save do, restart dbox

4b- wait for a few mins go back into keys.txt using 4(DO NOT OK), new keys should be there.

5- scroll onto it then press OK so you can now edit it
after 00 or the 01 - change the key to match the new ones from bigmaq using the buttons like a phone
you should only have to change 1 or 2 numbers/letters eg n 5a01 00 ****************:rom7 just leave the time and date
n 5a01 01 ****************:rom7 * is the ones you change
it might say rom10 insetead of rom7, don't think it matters
6 - Press ok to exit then press the button under your power button (under the orange button)

7- and save changes when asked, if box is in German press ja.

8- Reboot (restart your box) and bingo, it should work
every time your box stopes working, repeat. it's a bit of a pain in the arse but hey it's free cable

 

New keys fix click link below then dbox

 

Hi, Thanks for the info
but i am affraid could not get any of these to work,
Tried downloading from dooby2oon but i have window vista and the files were scrambled and as from fatboy this did not work either so i am at a bit of a loss were to go next.
I put the latest codes in the keylist but still nothing
Why was there no keys there to begin with and would a service scan help./ Thanks Topsite
