Dbox In Ireland

no luck ogg,

also put in cables.xml from irish.zip.

 

and when you put the cables in did ya rescan??

 

I did a rescan but than I didn't get any Irish channels at all!

I'll try again with a different option for Bouquet in Service Scan:
leave current/update/cable-bouquet/erase all/create new.

Which one should I select?

thanks

 

I did a load of rescans in Service Scan for Bouquet, eg leave current, update ect, after I put in services/bouquets/cables and I did not get any Irish Channels. BBC 1/2/3 ect would always be the first channels.

I put services/bouquets/cables in again and reloaded the channel list and then the Irish channels came up at the beginning, but without a picture for them. Most of the other channels have a good picture.

 

ya leave current i didnt need to scan but maybe one might work for ya

 

I'm not having any luck with the Irish channels.

I tried loads of different settings with ucodes and emu settings.

Even put on an Emigma image and still the Irish channels were choppy.

At the moment I'm using Blade Trinity Revisited. After I did a scan, the Irish channels were quite good, but after about half an hour they went back to their usual chirpy selves.


Here are some stats for RTE1; Could this be the reason I have a very choppy reception?

Would a booster help, as the cable from the box is only about 1.5m?

BER should be zero. I have seen this high BER before, once was a dodgy cable where the outer bit was touching the inner bit on the coax. Another was a dodgy NTL box. Try putting your NTL through a video or dvdrecorder, even your old pace box if you have it, then pass the out feed from that unit to the dbox. Sometimes a video can clean up and boost the signal.

I am putting both nokias and sagems on gbox now, 001A, with only rom 7 enabled.

 

A few music channels seem to have been swopped around on me today. One is changed to setanta, another to dctv etc. A scan should rename them, but they will need sorting.

Probably NTL trying to mess up boxes again.

 

Ok, had a look at mgb's cables.xml and its out of date. Some TP's missing, some out by 5k. Will explain some of the jumping.
Anyway, try overwriting your cables.xml with this one, then scan for U*c Ire Dub.

The BF one takes a while and is quite long due to some trickery that the cc is up to.

As far as can remember this gets copied into the /share/tuxbox folder when using blade trinity
And as WIZ says, remember to delete scan.conf file from var/tuxbox/config folder, and pull the plug before doing the scan.

share/tuxbox then delete scan.conf file from var/tuxbox/config folder

 

Dsleeper that file did the trick. Thanks very much for your help, also to wiz569 + Oggnogg.

 

good stuff...enjoy

 

Hi, Does anyone know whether dbox2 or any other box would work with Smart telecoms digital TV service ?

 

No the Dbox wont work with Digital but id say get a Eurovox TX Box that will work for ya

 

Lads have read through quite a few of these posts but see it up to 107 pages. Was hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having with a Nokia DBox2 running sportser 1.7+UK85 image being used on the NTL MMDS network in Dublin.
When i do a scan for channels it seems to pick them up but when I go to view them I get all the info of whats on the channel but no picture or sound. Here is what I am doing,on the menu I press

Dbox Menu/service menu/service scan/

Cable Provider: NTL MMDS BruteF

Freq: 258'000

Symbol rate:6887
and then click scan

IT picks up 9 transponders and about 95 TV channels which is the same as my eurovox. I then clik to save settings and go back out of the menu. When I click on a number it will bring up all the channel info but as said before no picture or sound just a black screen. Is there a secert menu on the DBox2 like there is on the starviews to activate the EMU?

Thanks alot

 

But isn't Smart an IP type TV service? If thats the case then a Eurovox TX won't work as it is ONLY FOR CHO**S MMDS. Smart's tv comes through the phone, so I dont think any box will work other than Smarts.

 

I updated the cables.xml to add a TP I left out. Use the u*c Ire Du*l scan and you should get another 10.

How many did your scan find?

Here's the new link.. cablesds03.zip dublin n*l after 17Feb08

Hmm thanks ognogg & Dsleeper. another question has anyone cancelled N*L tv subscription and find dbox2 still working ?

 

you have to keep the basic package

 

Can they send a signal down that makes The Box inoperable?

N** user in dublin. if someone connected The Box by mistake through Pace N** cable box, can they send a signal down which makes The Box useless? I had scanned & been watching all the channels the previous day. thanks a million
