    Which image and which cables.xml?
    Services.xml and bouquets.xml have no affiliation to the scan options.

    Use the irish cables.xml and move the highlighted bar in the scan menue to the provider line and choose with the ok button the right provider.

    In "DBox in Ireland" thread at the page before last, irish6.
    The unzipped file goes to /var/tuxbox/config.
    If you ftp to the box you are landing inside the var folder. You have to open the right subfolders.

    There is a folder hierarchy at the box with main folders and subfolders.
    If you ftp to the box you are landing in the main folder var. You have to open the subfolder tuxbox and then the subfolder config.

    You have to upload the file cables.xml from the unzipped irish6.zip to /var/tuxbox/config.
    Ftp to the box and go to that subfolder and you see the old cables.xml. Delete that file at the box and upload the new one from your pc.
    Reboot your box.

    services.xml and bouquets.xml are located in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit
    Maybe you should first arrange your bouquets to your needs before you backup the file.

    There is a program called 'Bouquet Editor'.

    You need to d/l the Bouquet File from your DBox & rearrange them using the 'Bouquet Editor'. The d/l & replace the old one on your DBox.
