    Hi
    If you are sure its a DBox 1, its for Satellite TV reception only and is totally different to the DBox 2 which is for Cable TV. If it is a DBox 1 then mail back as I can help you.

    There are dbox1 items for satellite or for cable on the market.
    You are right a dbox2 is complete different.

    Hi
    Take a read of this, seems quite complicated but its up to you if you want to ty it. Can't find out how to add an attachment as a zip or rar file.
    jbvid.
    1a) Needs the Dr Jamal 2003 firmware loaded, need to do a search for this
    1b) Then go into the tuner menu and do a search on each transponder frequency (There should be a services.xml file for the dbox2 available for your area so that you can pick up the freqs and symbol rates 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 pics!
    Hopefully some members with old DBOX1s will find this useful.
    Good Luck!
