    Hi folks,

    Am in dublin on ntl with only 50 channels, yesterday I updated with the new nagraroms. I then tried flashing with Cryo_Sportster_Pro_1.02_Ultra1 which got me 150 channels but the image on channels were all dark blue. Tried flasing with commando-925-x1 image which seems to have rendered the dbox useless. There are no channels and I cant access any of the dbox menu options so am unable to flash as a result. Any ideas???

    The Dbox wont work on MMDS you will need to get a box like The box T or Eurovox TX to get up and running

    im guessing SN is for satelite nd CN is for cable, could the SN one be converted to a CN or could it be used on a MMDS signal?

    Hi Oggnogg,
    Will the DBox not work with any MMDS or is it just Chorus MMDS?
    A mate recently bought a Box and he's on NTL MMDS in North Dublin so I was hoping I could set it up for him. Are we snookered?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    No, as OggNogg says you need the Eurovox Max T or Starview T, make sure it is a T box that you get or it won't work either

    A Dbox will work on NT* MMDS as this is a cable service.Only Chor** use true MMDS. There are four scenarios here in Ireland.
    1.NTL Dublin/Galway etc is cable and will work with a cable box...
    2.Chorus cable is cable and will work with a C tuner
    3.NTL MMDS is MMDS downconverted to cable and will work with a C tuner
    4.Chorus MMDs is Terrestrial and will work with a T Tuner..

    A "C" tuner can be a DBox,Dreambox,Eurovox,Starview,Replay and so on. A "T" tuner limits u slightly.I have found that the Dreambox 600PVR with a T Tuner is the best option....

    Hi Al,
    Thanks for you reply. Has anyone a functioning DBox on NT* MMDS in North Dublin? If yes, what image are you using?
    How are the coax cables set up? Do you need a Y-splitter to send a coax from the MMDS box to the DBox?
    Do I need to edit the cable.xml file to increase the frequency range for the channel scan? (I think I read that somewhere) If yes, what are the required frequencies? I'd REALLY appreciate if someone could PM me the XML files.
    My buddy's on a working Sportster v1.7 (a copy of my image, which works fine for standard cable in Dublin city).
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
    All the best,
    Chucky
