    If it dident say flashing in the lcd
    Its not reflashed
    If it did say flashing
    Leave it on ski sports 1 for 5 mins
    You may have to reflash again but it will only work useing acrossover cable ....................Paul

    Hi,

    There are 2 methods to find the pincode on a dbox2

    either ftp into var/tuxbox/config and view neutrino.conf, look for parentallock_pincode=####

    the #### is the pincode.

    If you want you can do it from the dbox
    Choose Tuxbox Commander
    var ok
    tuxbox ok
    config ok
    scroll down to neutrino.conf ok
    then scroll down to the line, it is in alphabetical order.
    home
    home


    Good luck Paul

    Thanks paul,
    Ive got up to neutrino conf on the big blue list. Next to neutrino.conf it says 6.621 ( ithink)
    Do i just press ok when on it?
    I dont get what to do after that though. I didnt get what u meant by 'scrolling down to the line'
    Thanks

    BTW Im not sure whether i have a sagem dbox 1 or 2. I think its 1 as it doesnt say 2 anywhere on it. Will this make a difference?
