Dbox In Ireland

Just a few quick questions.

What is the best Dbox to use in Ireland (Chorus area), Nokia or Sagem?
What is the best Image file to use?
Will I need to use a Ireland specific services.xml file

I will be very greatfull for any information posted.

Thanks.

 

Could also do with the newbies guide if anybody would like to help.

 

I would also be interested to know.

Also could someone tell me,
What is the difference between a DBox I and a DBox II?

 

i think the dbox I is much harder to flash and i think i seen some where that said that you cant connect the dbox I to your computer

 

To answer some of my own questions:

Doesn't really matter so long as it is a dBox II.
Nokias are a bit more expensive.

I updated from Sporster to Commando 5 and had no problems after that.

Could not find a services file. But I pulled the SR, FREQ and ID, information from the engineers menue of my subscription box. Plugged it into the dBox and all chanels came in.

Happy days!

 

any chance you could supply me with that info. Could not get my Dbox woking on Chorus ony services file i had was for NTL

 

What exact info do you want?

 

Could you send me the image you have for your Dbox and chorus. The dbox I have has a image that only works on NTL. I need a services file for chorus Ire. If not do you have the chrous freq might get it working if i can get that.

 

Hey,
I could also do with the SR, FREQ and ID for the chorus area. I dont have an original chorus box so cant check these on the engineer menu! And do I need to use the commando image as i currently have sportster 1.75 installed?
Cheers

 

can anyone help keep getting error no channels were found pls copy service.xml and bouquets.xml and rescan, and when i rescan it does the same any ideas

 

I am considering getting a Nokia dbox2 for use with NTL in Waterford. Does anybody have experience with this? What channels am I likely to receive? Thanks a mil.

 

Any current image should work. Images are not area specific, service files are. I am using commando, but see no reason why any current image that you can do a quick scan on will not work.

I do not know the engineering data for each chorus area. You must get that from the installation menu of the subscription digital box.

Turn fast scan on, input the data, and scan.

 

These are different for each chorus area, you will have to find them locally. I would advise getting a basic subscription box as only then can you be sure that the signal is present and strong enough. Any current image should work. Am not familiar with sporster 1.75. Ver 1.73 would not work for me.

 

Again as above, you need to input the correct Id, Freq, and symbol rate data, and do a quick scan.

 

Should get all channels.

I came accross a file for the waterford area in my searches.
Not sure how current it is.
If you PM me your email address I will send it to you.

 

interested in getting a dbox2, living in dublin,where's the best place to get a dbox and what software do i need installed on it before i buy one. then when i buy one what do i have to do to get it to recieve ntl channels.if anybody has a guide out there i would be grateful. email- andresenior@msn.com

 

It should work with NTL in Dublin. I'm in the south east myself, I'm waiting for my Dbox2 to arrive from an ebay seller in Germany..I'll keep you posted on the results.. You need to get the files for your area in order to get the channels..

 

Hi all,

Using nokia dbox with commando 6 just outside London.

I can get RTE 1 & 2 on the menu but can not view the picture or see the sound.

Is there anyway of unlocking this?

Does anyone have a services file for Ulster - maybe that would work?

Many thanks

 

Hi all..

Just received my Dbox2 from Germany (UK image Sportster)..
Done a service scan, seem to have all the channels, so I've saved the service.xml and bouquet.xml on my PC for safekeeping..
Is there a program I can use to edit the bouquet.xml so as to re-organise the order in which channels are listed, and secondly, to delete channels that I don't want, such as adult channels?..

Many thanks..

 

Well Eoin,

I've a services file for Waterford if needed? Just scanned yesterday..
