Dbox In Ireland

Help Please!!!!

Hi guys, i have a sagem dbox with one flash chip, this bloody thing is doing my nut, for some reason it won't flash using IFA, when i plug it in the LCD shows betaresearch on the top line and digital broadcasting solutions on the bottom line, and just keeps rebooting over and over and over, i really have no clue whats up with it,

Was wondering if anyone has had this problem, and knows hoe to solve it, Thanks

 

Ignoring all preconditions doesn't help.
Read a dbox2 flashing guide and use IFA.

 

thanks for the reply, but i don't think i have ignored anything, have read several tutorials i have found and followed them to a tee, but still can't get the box to flash, it, just keeps rebooting over and over, with the message betaresearch, digital broadcasting solutions.

is there anyone in the cork area that could give me a hand with this thing, i would be much obliged, just send me a private message and i'll get back to ya, thanks

 

Check the log output in the IFA window.
Its always a good idea to use a additional nullmodem cable.

is there a booster i could use to increase the signal in my house ? i use a dreambox dm and there are 2 of them recieving from nt hell in dublin, the problem is the one furthest away recieves less channels for some reason.

although i am not complaining its just a little niggle that i would like to resolve.

thanks

 

Check first if you got an combiner from Ntl.
If you read TAP at the output of a splitting device replace it with a real splitter.

 

try the slx booster you can get in argos maplins and atlantic homecare

 

The normal slx booster is not so good. There is a gap between 230 mhz and 470 mhz.
The SLX Gold Plug Thru support the full range and should be buyable via ebay for around 15 euro.

 

didnt know that cheers for that info,dont they also recommend the yellow brick booster

 

The yellow brick has minimum 12db gain and that overrun the tuner in normal circumstances.
The yellow brick is good if you have long cables and a 4 way splitter for instance or a extremly bad signal.

 

hello mgb17, thanks for replying, connected the the null moden cable and the this is what i got in the com-terminal window

and keeps on going like that, over and over until i stop IFA,
any ideas??
Thanks

 

There is simply a hardware fault.
What is the history of this box.

 

Guys, does anyone know what channel was playing "Employee of the month" ALL weekend? It was just showing up as PPV Channel on my dbox. Today I think its showing "School for scoundrels"....

 

I think it is a sky box office channel, no EPG on it, they might be just testing, tends to be the same film run over and over for days. since there is no proper epg you cannot easily tell when it is going to start/end. been going on weeks now.

 

Thanks ruprect. I suppose it could have been worse. That Simpson one isnt half bad

 

thanks all

 

slx booster i found on ebay no probs but the slx gold plug thru ? what is that and where would i find it ?

also these are just inlne boosters right ? ie input in one end and output (s) from other end ?

thanks all
