Dbox In Ireland

MGB17 - Thanks for the information. So to check if my box is set up ok and working with DW2.0 I can check it out in a friends house who has is a suscriber to Chorus.
Where is the best place to sort the required downconverter and can you advise the best make and model.

 

Can anybody help, I have been trying to flash my Nokia Dbox2. With one FTA I get Dbox2-IFA, Lade Software, Hallenberg.com on the screen and it stays there nothing else happens. On another system it goes through what appears to be a loading system with line after line comming up on the screen and ending with "Bad Magic Number"
My unit only loads up as far as Loading Kernel.
HELP!!!!!

 

@mulvihc
The downconverter is integrated into the feedarm of newer mmds aerials. You need a device to feed that thing with power via the antenna cable.

 

Is it possible to get Dbox2 Bootmanager in English.

 

Simply use IFA and a crossover network cable plus additional nullmodem cable.

 

Mg17 thanks for the update. With regard to the converter can you give me details please so I can look to get 1.

 

You could try such a device
http://www.globalcom.co.uk/communal/dcbf.html
and your own 12v AC/DC psu.
The official supported frequency range doesn't match but it should work.

 

Mgb17 Once again many thanks for your help and advise. I Take it I place this DCBF device on the antennae cable between the LNB and the Dreambox ?

 

Guys&Gals, anyone havin problems with the DBOX IFA flasher - Cannot and it will not Flash at all, have used it several times before but have tried it now at least 50 times today with the new Balde I need & it will not work- I've done it the usual way - connecting power cable after the "OK" click etc

Any ideas ?

Thought it might have been the Image i just got but tried on other ones which previously worked no problem but nothing

 

You get no error messages without a nullmodem cable.
The used image has no affiliation to the flashing procedure. The content doesn't matter.

 

EC74...
Make sure IMPORTANT...your NIC is set to 10 half duplex...or it wont work !

 

Chris my man U just simply lost me there - Can u explain it a bit more in simple English

 

The new andromeda image is working great on my sagem 2x in dublin. scanned all channels really quick after setting location to ntl dublin (the first one) and using uk all scanning.

No chirping or blackouts from it yet. Will test on a sagem 1x too.

Get it at www.digitalworldz.co.uk

 

I'll try and get that so but my problem is that all of a sudden my IFA will not flash anything - nothin at all ?

 

any chance of mailing that to me - I've tried repeatedly to join that digitalworldz website and its a complete pain in the arse, i.e. says to contact administrator if u have Gmail account to register, then tells you to log in to contact administrator and so on

 

i have a gmail account and i had no problem joining the site

 

Any help out there please, my dbox2 is only booting as far as "loading kernel". I have tried to flash it but cant communicate with it.
I have read the notes on IFA and it gives it as a known problem but not much info on how to solve it,
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

You get only error messages if you use a additional nullmodem cable.
If you use a nullmodem cable and get boot net failed in the log something is blocking the network.
Firewall, antivirus soft, wrong network cable and so on.

 

Can anybody help?
I am trying to remove the adult channels from my sagem dbox2. i know about the pin-enabled lock/hide feature, but if i type the channel number they are still there without having to use the pincode.
I am trying to use a myservices.xml file to remove them. No success so far. Anybody having tried that way successfully? If so, please could you tell me and the xml editor you use?
Thanks.

 

Got things sorted, folks.
Used bouquet wizard and it worked a treat.
The channels are gone.....
