Dbox In Ireland

Hey ppl i have a problem with a friends nokia dbox on ch*us in cork running sportster 1.75uk. When he tried to update the keys in sportster menu, lots of channels went off. The RTEs, BBCs etc are on. Movies, Sports etc are off. I tried to force public key update and after a long wait no keys appear after pressing show public keys. It seems like theres no keys there at all to update. I reflashed the image, loaded the files etc. but to no avail. All the channels are there, its just alot arent decrypting and i cant get any new keys to update. I tried changing emu selection evocamd... etc. I tried force public update on my own box also early and now the same has happened, the previous keys were seemingly wiped off and replaced with nothing. Any know how to fix this, help would be very much appreciated, Thanks

 

you could ftp the magic keys over again or try an image with the keys already in it like blade trinity

Hi All,

Anyone know if N*L are messing about with the signals.
This morning I'm not getting any service on any channels. (using a Dreambox)
Messed about with the Tuner and Emus with no luck.
Also can't find a Transponder when doing a scan.
SNR is currently around 71%
Noticed abount 5 channels missing yesterday and they were also showing the same SNR % but all the other channels were fine with a SNR of 90%+.
Now all gone. Any ideas??

 

Connect your cable feed to the aerial input of your TV and do a scan at the TV.
If you get no analogue channels there is no cable signal.

 

Thanks Yet again for your help MGB.
This time however the channels just came back themselves.
I had just switched on the TV to do as you said and there they were.
(Still missing about 5 channels I never watch so I'm happy - SNR on these still at 70%)

U*C sent a letter in the post lately saying there would be some service disruption as they were "Upgrading" the service.

Maybe this was part of it.

Thanks again MGB

 

Thanks glic83 but where do i get the keys from (which folder) and where do i send em to activated the channels. Also where can i get blade image as i cant find it anywhere and i dont have access to digitalworldz. I hope this works but im afraid that ch*us did something. The dbox was fine for the last 11 months with the sportster 1.75 setup and the keys updated when forced. Thanks for your help

 

Reboot the dbox or unplug and replug.

Thanks kilters, i got the blade image, but now another prob, when trying to ftp the box, i can see the files when typing ftp:\\192.168.0.24 after it prompts for user (root) & password (dbox) in IE. After i select open FTP site in windows explorer, no folders appear even after the correct username & pw. I never had this prob with the sporster img. What am i doin wrong? Seems one problem has made another one. If/when i have the Blade image up and runnin with the services files etc loaded, will the keys automatically decrypt the channels? or will it update to newer keys? Im afraid that the same will happen as the sporster1.75-it couldnt find any new keys when forcing public update, after plugging in/out/rebooting, changing cams etc everything i could think of. Sorry for goin on a bit, im just goin slowly madddd. (by the way this is affecting 2 dboxes) Thanks for your help lads appreciate it

 

try using filezilla has always worked for me,double check you have the network set up right between computer and dbox,try dbox2 as the password and the keys should autoroll so there shouldnt be a problem there

 

Thanks glic filezilla works great. This morning i turned on my own box in the living room and all the channels are back on. I didnt touch that box yet and sportster 1.75 is still on it, when showing public keys they show todays date. Seems that the keys were available today and not yesterday. Anyway ill leave sportster on it. Thanks for all your help

 

The password is dbox2

 

There was a batch of dboxes made where they put in 2 x resistors that were not suposed to be put in. When removed the chirping stops. havent seen this myself but a mate of mine had the same prob and it worked for him.

Will try and get info off him when I see him

 

Never heard of any thing like it in my life

the 2 resistors your on about are you sure that you mate hasnt got a dreambox and not a dbox,there was a problem recently with the 500 clone and when 2 resistors were removed that stopped the chirping,so id say its a dreambox that your mate has

 

You are right. The resistor story is about clone dream boxes not dboxes.

 

Sorry guys,
I was talking to him and they were dream boxes.

Did anybody notice that you no longer need to subscribe to cable TV to get Broadband from NTL?

My question is if I only have broadband will my DBOX still work?

 

It depends if UPC mount a filter to your cable tap or not.
