    At a dream box with enigma image switch to a working channel, go to manual scan and enable BAT ONID network search. Select all channels and start the scan. Don't touch the other options.

    OK. Found that I should be using Dreambox control centre.... Oh the joys of google....
    However I can't get the file to transfer. It even asks me if I want to overwrite the file... However when I check the "new" cable file, nothing has changed.
    Can't even delete the old file. It asks me if I'm sure and even though I say yes... It's still there.
    Any ideas?????

    If you want to use the cables.xml at a dream box with enigma image the file goes to var/etc.

    as i understand it and i could be wrong ....

    when your uploading a new image you need to put it into a temp file.

    i use dreamup for flashing images and it works fine. you dont have to worry about which file you upload too and it even lets you delete your old image.

    as i said i am not 100 % on that but......

    good luck

    For All!! Procedure to update cable.xml file to get all channels back!

    1-connect your dbox2 to pc ( in my case via ethernet...make sure you have made all adjustments regarding setting up dbox2 and pc for your local network...PROIR TO THIS STEP)
    2-run FlashFXP ( or whicever program works for you)
    3-click connect( the lightining bolt icon)
    4-select QUICK CONNECT
    5-in server put= ip address of your dbox2( e.g 192.168.2.3)
    6-in username put= root
    7-in password use = Comando ( for commando image ..different for different images you should know this )
    8-connect
    you will see in dbox section all the files running through
    9-in dbox window select /VAR/TUXBOX/CONFIG/
    10-in PC window find the latest cables.xml file which you would have downloaded ( e.g IRISH10 cables.xml)click and drag only this file to the config folder
    11-lastly find scan.config file and delete it
    12-close flashfXP, disconnect the ethernet connection and take dbox2 plug out from electric socket. wait 1 min them power back on.
    you should have the latest cable.xml file running and hopefully all the channels back.

    this is my own experience so i put it in a stepwise pattern for all to follow.. this is for dbox2 and again specifically for a commando8.2image... if you are running a different image just change those particular steps that are specific for that image.
    hopefully this would help people.

    Good post mate except the cable file either goes in the var/tuxbox/config folder or the share/tuxbox/config folder depending on your image not in the zappit folder.

    Hi I having a bit of a problem with a Nokia d-box2. It has a Sportster Pro image on it but I think it was interrupted while a Commando image was being flashed to it. Now it hangs at boot up where it displays "Sportser Pro loading kernel".

    I've tried re-flashing using IFA but have had no joy. I've followed a lot of the threads on here and the instructions given but have had no luck so far.

    I am pretty sure that the box ip is 192.168.1.11 but cannot FTP to it. When I ping it I just get host unreachable.

    Anybody have any suggestions as to what I should try next?

    All help appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Paul

    Hi guys, I have just ordered a dreambox 600T and should have it in a few days. I think i know the basics of setting it up from reading through the thread maybe ill be proved wrong when i get it. Something i'm not too sure of is what image do i use , cables.xml or is their a territorial.xml.

    if it is a T then you will need to load the terrestrail.xml file.
