Dbox In Ireland

was wondering why it included ntl mmds but forgot a dbox or 500 c can be used om ntl mmds and not chorus mmds where would you get the terrestrial.xml file?

 

ok so......

tried messing with the tuner options after pressing the blue button on a channel.

it was on new so a rescan there made no difference.

i tried old as you said that works best for you but even after the rescan still got the "this service is not available" message

finally changed the tuner to alt. and did a rescan with the same results.

after initially uploading the cables.xml and scanning the channels all worked.

i only got the "this service is not available" message after i unplugged the laptop from the dreambox.....

what am i doing wrong ? or what is it i am not doing ?

i know its only 1 or 2 channels but its just the not being able to solve it factor thats killing me.

any suggestions gratefully received

thanks

 

ok what are the channels you cant receive and what is you signal and ber on them?

 

the channels i know i cant recieve so far are

discovery turbo
living plus 1
more 4 plus 1

there is also 1 of the uk gold channels but im not sure which one right now, i am sure there are others too i am just not sure which ones.

just to clear something.

i got a new cable.xml file and when i upload that they work fine until i unplug the laptop. i know the xml file is saved because i checked. it must be something to do with the start up thats not finding this xml file.

i am not sure where to find or even what ber is... the signal is ok because they work before i unplug the laptop and all the other channels are fine. nt hell must have changed something for this group of channels only.

thanks again for your interest

mark ..

now on 394 and 402 frequencies. You might be able to edit your cables.xml file and add them in so it will scan for them.

None of my scans picked them up, I had to add them in. I also made a huge provider file with frequencies, 100, 100.5, 101.....999, 999.5 in it. This will take a few hours to scan but should get them all. The only problem is that it will check say 354.5, before 355, and if 354.5 works at all it will decide to pick it, even if the true broadcast frequency is 355. I had frequencies off by 0.5 before and the picture was jumpy. I dont know if there is a better way to make a cables.xml file, or some way to make sure it only accepts a channel if the signal is strong.

 

Try doing a manual scan on 394 and 402,dont tick the network search box.

 

Hi ruprect and wiz.

I'm dbox2 NTL in Dublin and have been rescanning like mad the last couple of days to no avail

Would you help me out and pm me your working files??

Thanks,

Pad

 

Here you go,don't forget to reboot after you transfer them.

Hi wiz, having the same problem as padshea.I got your working files but when i transfer them to my dbox via ftp, it doesn't give me the option to change my cable provider.Im running sportser 1.75 image. Should they work with this image or should i load a different image ?

 

when you upload the cables.xml delete scan.config

 

The file in the link is just my services file which should work for you in dublin without having to scan,it goes in the var/tuxbox/config/zapit folder.

 

Hiya Wiz, thanks a million for your help... Unfortunately I'm still missing 80% of channels.

Would it be possible to share any other relevant files: cables.xml etc??

Thanks a lot

Pad

 

Hi Wiz, thanks so much for your help.Everything seems to be all there now.Just need to sort them. Thanks again

 

Hi Ruprect & Wiz... i manually tried to update the .xml file but guess didnt do it right or something as nothing happened...would it be asking too much if you could provide the cables.xml file that you have created which works.. as after many days at this still have not been successful.
thanks

 

wow .. somehow the page with your posting of the files didnt upload prior to my post.. so THANKS and sorry for asking after you had already posted them

 

Ok have uploaded my cables.xml to the link

wiz569, thanks a lot for that, I will try your cables file tonight.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks

 

No problem mate your welcome,although the cable file is one i got from mgb17 works perfectly for me.

 

this gets stranger and stranger !!!

just came home and thought in would try the above...... only to find the folks had unplugged tyhe ariel cable going into th dreambox....

plugged it in ony to find i now have all the missing channels !!!

and i didnt do a thing....

half and hour later after much flicking through the channels to see if they were all ok i lost the lot again !!!!!

can anyone make any sense of this at all ???

maybe its haunted or posessed or something.....

cheers all

 

downloaded this .xml file and im gonna give it a try to see if its any better than the one i got already,

also got the services.xml but where do i upload that to on the dreambox ? and will i9t overwrite the old file just like the cable .xml file did ?

just saw your previous post explaining where the services.xml file goes sorry.
but does it overwrite ?
