    No, it doesn't. The fact that you have the option to scan using selection "bruteforce UK" is due to your cables.xml having this option..

    Anyway, Dsleeper would you like to contribute your working image, as per my previous post? If so PM me..

    Tried using that one too but got nothing at all.
    That said - I had the fast scan on so I will try it again with it off.

    Will this make much difference??

    I will when its ready...
    So here's where I am, I can do a bruteforce scan due to my cables.xml being set uo for bruteforce UK (I'm thinking of adding the IRL section from http://www.ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/cables.xml to mine) and redoing the scan. If that solves my irish channel problem, then I no longer need to dump in the services.xml that I have.

    When I have them all (as I have now) I need to sort them into something logical (I've noticed dups etc) So the services,xml that I've posted is incorrect ;-(

    I haven't figured out what to do with the adult ones, delete/hide or protect...

    Then, I'll get around to creating an image.

    To sort them, why not use the bouquet from my image? It seems to put them in the right order.. I'm at work at the mo so can't post this file separately, but as said, it's in my image..

    I had that identical problem, could only 52 channels and no more. The only image I found to fix this was Cryo's sportster 1.02, it's quite an old image but solved my problem, I've been running fine ever since. Out of interest who did you buy the box from on Ebay, I wonder if I bought from the same seller.

    the person with the 5 transponders .firstly put on benifas sportser 1.7 uk05 and flash it to your machine as yours is a nokia make sure your ucode is 0014 not 001a as this 1 is better for sagems.
    scan on cable IE 6887. WITH THIS IMAGE AND SEE IF IT WORKS .
    IF YOUR GET SOME CHANNELS BUT THEY ARE BLACK UPLOAD DSLEEPERS SERVCIES.XML TO YOUR BOX (ALL DUBLIN FREQUENCYS ARE THE SAME IM NEARLY SURE) now when you put the servcies.xml on.plug out the box after the upload as the machine will replace the xml with the old one if you manually shut down . make sure you have a most direct connection for your cable line from ntl and are you on mmds

    Thanks sadam for the info..

    Now you have your image working and all channels, any chance you could back up your image, ftp it to your PC and then email to me?

    I want to put it on my site to share with other Dubliners - your contribution could help many others mate..

    Take netid, dvb default frequency and symbol rate from the engineer menue of your subbed box and do a fast scan with that numbers at a newer image.

    Ok, use the remote..
    Press dbox,
    Service Menu,
    Image Update/Backup/Restore,
    Flash Read/Write,
    Read One Partition (Backup),
    flash without bootloader.

    You should get "The image was successfully saved under /tmp/xxx.img" (where xxx = the image name)..

    Now just navigate to the /tmp folder using your PCs ftp program, and copy xxx.tmp to your PC. This is the backup of your image..

    It's a good idea for anybody to do this, once you're happy with your setup, channels etc., because you can play around as much as you, and if you bugger it up, you just flash back your saved image, with your channels etc all in tact..

    Sadam, I really could do with your image tonight if at all possible, for a guy in Dublin I'm trying to get sorted before tomorrow..

    Hi Mark,

    services.xml belongs in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit/

    You need to ftp to the dbox. If you connect the dbox to the pc directly, you must use a crossover ethernet cable. If you use a router, you must a straight through, or "patch" cable..

    Hi guys,

    I got my D-Box and set it up but at first only got 52 channels like a few others here. Uploaded the services file from this thread and now get 140 channels, just wanted to check that this is what I should be getting on NTL in Dublin?

    Thanks so much for your help by the way, it's really appreciated!
