    i have a sagem dbox2 . i can pick up 51 channels here in cork . some channels are like scratched dvds and some kids programs freeze after awhile .
    is anybody from the cork area able to get more than 51 channels with their dbox2 .

    has anybody got a way around that stops the dbox2 from freezing and some bad quality channels .

    You can't - the cable companies in Ireland don't broadcast PPV movies (only sport, and seldom, lol)..

    For info lads,

    My site (though EXTREMELY basic as you will see), is in the process of being made. It won't be anything fancy, but I really do want to make a resource for Irish dbox users..

    All your help is required though, so please keep emailing me your working images, and city/area.. PM me for address..

    website is: dbox.ifawilson.com

    fair play to you benifa mate.

    Q) I have sky digital in my house but I know the previous owners used NTL MMDS (as I understand it regular ntl cable didnt extend to the estate).

    Can someone point me towards a dbox assuming I can pick up signals from this ntl mmds ariel?

    Sorry mate, a dbox is no good to you if you only have mmds..
    If you buy a sat dbox, you could get into card sharing. Don't know much about this I'm sorry, but try here:

    A dbox2 is working with NTL mmds. Only chorus mmds is not functional with a dbox.
    Your first problem is to find a matching power inserter to feed the downconverter at the aerial with 12 volt. The power inserter will be collected with the box if a NTL subscribtion is canceled.

    There are not so much channels available via Chorus cable. Check the channel list at the Chorus homepage.
    Try ucode version 001A for your sagem and reboot your box.

    They may well do. The program list of PPV events is on www.ntl.ie. Last time I looked it was just football though if I remember correctly..

    Unfortunately there's no PPV movies on NTL Ireland :(

    I have been receiving the message kein system on the box. Ive tried flashing it with D-box flashing assistant. Im getting the flashing and the flashing done message. When the flashing done message comes up what do i do next. Ive tried everything but the box seems to be frozen at this stage.
