Dbox In Ireland

I know this was answered but with so many posts I am affraid of using the incorrect file.

What's the link for a services file for a Sagem in Dublin (NThell?)

 

its the one listed by dsleeper its for all dbox 2s in dublin on ntl. remember to plug out your box after the transfer over

 

Thanks Saddam. Unfortunately still the same issue.
I get a "damage dvd" effect with Setanta xtra and other few channels.
I am about to give up those. Any last attempt for me?

 

Hi mate have you tried using a signal booster,worked for me?

 

Do a own channel scan via the irish cables.xml.
Try a other ucode version for instance 001A.
Check the numbers for BER SNR and SIG. Red button blue button.

 

Check the dvb default frequency in the engineer menue of your pace box.
If you see 258.000 you get NTL mmds and not NTL cable.

 

I can see the numbers for BER SNR and SIG. But what should I do with them?

Havent tried a signal booster, it may be an option.

 

Maybe you could post the numbers for a few none working channels.

 

Setanta xtra1
BER: 26214
SNR: moving between 49000 and 50000 aprox.
SIG: 25443

NASN
BER: 26214
SNR: moving between 49000 and 50000 aprox.
SIG: 25700

Thanks,

 

Either the frequency in the services.xml doesn't match exactly the used frequency or the signal is a little bit too strong.

 

In my opinion that signal is too weak,I have a adjustable booster on my box and when I lower it down to your sig level it starts freezing.
I am no expert but if you try the SLX booster from argos and if it doesn't work just bring it back for a full refund.

 

We are talking about a sagem not a nokia.

 

Yes I know I learned to read at an early age lol,
I have a Sagem 1x on Commando 6 needed a booster now rock solid for past 4 months.

 

Thanks both guys. Is there any workaround to adjust the signal in the device before trying the booster?

 

Use the irish cables.xml and do a slow scan via NTL mmds or NTL cable depending what you get and check the numbers again.

 

But not with a SIG above 26000.

 

@mgb17

Dont get your point my sig is 31500 approx?
Everything works fine at that level.
But everybodys box acts differently so who knows.
The booster from argos is a no lose situation,if it doesn't work bring it back.

Just trying to help out fellow Dbox user wheres the harm in that.

 

Hi all

Great thread some helpful advice

i got my dbox last week and it worked great straight away , all the channels i wanted.

Just one thing

what is the best way to sort the channels , is it a case of rearranging the services.xml file

if so can someone give me a copy of theres with all the channels to compare . im in dublin on Ntl

 

You have to create your own bouquet or bouquets and add/sort the channels inside in the way you want.

 

nice one ill give it a try

can you use someeleses bouquets and upload them.

is there anyway of finding out if i have all the channels
