german set up

i have d box multimedia terminal dv3 by nokia when i plug it in you cannot scan for any channels its a german kabel provider. is there any way of getting english channels on this box .thanks everyone

 

Check the backside ot the box.
If you see 3 scart sockets its a dbox1.

 

yes it has 3 sockets so is there any thing you can do for me or is it no good cheers .

 

i also have another box that just needs reflashing will a rs232 cable flash it or do i need a diffrent cable thanks

 

You have to differ between dbox1 and dbox2.
For a dbox2 you need IFA, a crossover cable and if you want additionally a nullmodem cable for flashing.
Precondition for a dbox1 is a amon cam and a funcard with valid keys. If you don't have such things scanning makes not much sense.

 

im now trying to flash my d box2 all i have is a null modem cable will that do? it was working fine till last night then i lost all my channels tried rescanning but the channels there but no picture im assuming it needs a reflash so any help will be great thanks.

 

You should just leave if on $KY Movies for a minuite to update the keys.

 

fekker this other dbox i have as 3 scart sockets on the back theres only a slot for an rs232 lead. its all in german you cant scan like you normally can. can you suggest any thing or shall i just write the box off. cheers

 

There's no market for a DBox1, you can try selling it on ebay.

 

so theres no way of getting it going fekker . you can save me a lot of time by saying no. lol cheers mate.

 

No!! lol.

It's too much trouble & cost trying to programme a funcard & getting keys. I'd just get rid of it.

 

thanks mate

 

If you are able to switch on your brain its piss easy.
You can get the current valid keys from your dbox2.
Preconditon is a amon cam and a fun card with dbox1 files as I mentioned above.

 

is there any chance you could put it in an easy language i can understand lol, its my mate who is trying to sort it out any help much appreciated thanks alot.

 

You need a modul like this one
http://cgi.ebay.de/AllCam-Multicam-...ryZ77730QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

and a funcard programmed with dbox1 files and valid keys and DVB2000 on the box.
If the keys are rolling you have to update the keys at the funcard.

 

thanks for your time and effort i will have athink about ordering one of them. and let you know how we get on thanks again.

 

If your mate paid too much for the dbox1 its maybe not worth the hassle to invest more money.
Average price for a dbox1 with amon cam should be around 30 quid.

 

it was just over£ 50 quid. i think he is going to buy a starview box and just lose the money. i said if he puts it on ebay he is just giving someone else the problems he had. do you know anything about the star views eg how long they stay on for.cheers

 

Shouldn't have too much bother with a Starview as it should autoroll the keys, if not an update will be posted just as I posted last month.
