Dbox In Ireland

Hi Benefica,

Could you please send me the services file you generated.

I'll test it out then when I get back to Reading.

My e-mail address is eoin_o_connell81@hotmail.com

Many thanks

 

No bother, I'll send to you this evening.

 

If I were you I would use a Sagem box because the tuner of this box is better than the one of Nokia.
Also most Nokia has only Avia500chip inside and Sagem boxes has Avia600.
Someone wrote here it´s easier to flash a dbox2 than a dbox1. I say this: You can´t flash a dbox1 and you can´t compare this ones. They are too differently.

 

hi if i buy a nokia dbox off ebay can i use it in dublin i have standard ntl cable .

is there anything specific to look out for?

does anyone have the files necessary i can i just plug it in and use it?

 

If it´s a Nokia Dbox2 you can use it. Do a servicescan and it will work. You need no files.

 

hi to all here.where can i get gemini 3.3

 

Hi Guys, Great to see an Ireland specific thread.

I'm about to buy a dbox from Ebay.

Im using NTL digital in Dublin, can anyone recommend a tried and tested box/operating system from ebay for me.

Your advice is most appreciated.

Well Pad,

I recommend this image:
http://ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/Sportster 1.7+ uk05_2x.exe
pass=letmein

This image has worked flawlessly here in Waterford. Just do a scan for your channels selecting "cableIE Sym6887". You will get all channels, which should total 186..
If you need any more help please feel free to PM me..

 

Benifa, thanks a million for that.

Can you tell me the hardware your using and what seller you bought from?

Once again thanks for helping a newbie out.

 

No bother..
You need a Dbox2. They're going for at least 100 sterling on ebay right now (excluding shipping from Germany), and the price is rising.. If you've not yet bought one, PM me.. I may have some good news for you

 

Hi benifa, I've pm'd you.

Let me know the good news!!!

Thanks

 

Im a complete novice and was wondering :

If I purchase a dbox2 from ebay what else do I need
to get setup. Do I need a card etc

Sorry for hasseling you

 

You don't need a card. Once it arrives it should be a matter of scanning for channels and off you go. It doesn't always work like that though, sometimes you need to install a different image, buy a splitter, change settings etc to get in up and running.

 

No bother..

No you don't need a card or anything else. As far as hardware goes all you need is a Dbox2 connected to a live cable feed, either from NTL or Chorus. Live cable feed means you either subscribe to cable internet and/or analogue TV.

 

Thanks very much people - I have NTL at the mo and to say they are
pathetic upgrades them. Youre help is much appreciated

 

Hi All,

Looking for some advice - Thinking of buying the DBox 2 from from www.dbox2.com (120 euro plus shipping). There's no mention of it containing any image (so does this mean it has some German one?)

I say there's some on E-Bay that have the Sporster images - they're more expensive, but are they worth the hassle they save? Or is it straightforward enough flashing the above box with the Sporster image (I have downloaded the beginner guides etc that are linked on the forum)

I'm in Dublin on NTL by the way....

Thanks in advance.
Neil

 

hi can i load image with serial lead without it been conected to the internet.

 

Hi Neil,

The €120 price on that site is for a Nokia Dbox2 with Avia500, without a front flap, and with faulty display (note this will not affect viewing).

They charge an extra €20 to put them into debug mode and flash a Neutrino image. To be honest even if the image they put is a German one you can change it in about 2 minutes. It's quite straightfoward if you read the guides posted around the internet. If you want to save the €20 and put the device into debug mode yourself, you can, but it's a bit more tricky. Guides are available though.

If I were you, I'd get the €140 Dbox2 which has the front flap and no display problem, for the extra €20 I'd say it's worth it. Again, I'd also pay the further €20 to have them put it into debug and load Neutrino. For a total of €160 you'll have saved yourself a bit of headache and your box will be nice and pretty

Yes. The is no need to ever connect the Dbox2 to the internet unless you want to view NASA internet broadcasts etc.. Why don't you just use an ethernet cable rather than null modem?

 

Great thanks Benifa. One question - is Neutrino an image (just like Sportster etc) or is it related to the Linux operating system ?
