    tried a scan before and it did nothing. We have lost everything and when I try and turn to a channel it just says waiting for time. It says sportster when it first starts. then it comes up error and to do a scan at service menu. Its then asking for a pin code.. I am a novice to this so any help would be really appreciated. Thankyou

    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.

    Post your scan settings,from top to bottom
    Your location and previous service provider
    Try the Box direct to the wall without any splitters
    No different ,Reflash it with a newer image............Paul

    Try google Mate
    You don't need to fiddle with key list text anymore.
    Just add the rom 7 fix, and it will auto update .............Paul.

    so sorry to be a pain but tell me if i am going the right way. I have managed to find the keylist and need to put in the up to date key number/new code - i need to find that and alter it then if i;m right once the new code is entered is it just a matter of rebooting it and any ideas how to find the new code
