    Just going to through this out again to see if anybody has any ideas or quick fixes. Got a dbox which is new enough that wont pick any channels, it did b4 but last sat it stopped. Is there away of pin pointing the problem if i have reflashed the image. Would it also makea difference if i FTP the services and bouquets over?

    What image did you use and yes you would need to send over your services, unless you set your location and done a scan.

    Hi guys, long time user of the forum have gotten some great advice from it thanks.

    I have a nokia 2x and ive flashed blade quad several times but im having problems with freezing picture on certian channels. I assumed it was software as i thought that the digital signal would either be there or not no in between esp since i was getting the epg ok. Anyway my signal details are

    On chanel i can view
    ber 1070
    snr 53000
    sig 41000

    On freezing Channel ( Sky Movies something, Picture freezes and sound continues broken up and chirpy)
    ber 6105720
    snr 52000
    sig 41000

    Would a booser clean it up? Also what do the ber snr and sig mean?

    Thanks in advance

    P

    BER should be around 0-100
    SNR is signal to noise ratio and usually ~64000 on mine
    SIG is signal strength and is usually ~45000 on my nokia, less on sagem

    Your BER is way off the scale so I suspect your feed might be faulty, I had one in a room with a crap coax that was pinched along the way. Try passing the coax into a video and then out again, this can clean and boost the signal. Also check all cables and try in a mates house.

    If you what to try open the box and disconnect the moden plug connected to the board sometime with different image with a weak board over heats the tunner and power supply and result ends in the churping due to over heating

    I think on 2 occasions I had boxes not working after a flash, even though the image looked fine I had no signal, so you may as well give it a go. Your normal TV can be fine with a poor signal though, so I would try it in another room/house to rule out signal problems.

    I removed a few modems as mentioned, this is a lot easier on a sagem than on a nokia, getting into a nokia is hard enough!

    lads i posted a few threads back saying about a nokia dbox2 that wouldnt even pick up time or anything. after leaving plugged in for a few days it started working. however when i plugged it out and plugged back in it was same story again, nothing. would this indicate that maybe there is a problem with cable and maybe need a booster? or does it sound like a tuner problem? any help greatly appreciated.. thanks

    Hey everyone,

    I have a Nokia DBox2 here in Dublin on NTHELL.

    My image is Sportster Neutrino
    Date: 19.06.2005
    Release Cycle: 2.0
    Image Type: Release

    Yesterday evening all of my channels went missing except RTE1, RTE2 and Channel 6. When I do a service scan, it looks as if it picks up all the channels. I even get the program listing for all the channels but I just can't see them. I've tried updating the image with some images I got from yadi.org but each time I try a manual update, I'm told that the image I have is wrong (wrong relase cycle).

    I'm unsure if I even need to upgrade my image. Could anyone please tell me where I'm going wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    heres a link for blade quad with pre loaded dublin service and bouquet files just transfer it into your tmp folder and with your remote flash the image (flash one partition) its a fairly easy way of flashing with remote you might already know also in here is a d box faq guide for all you need to know about the box :)

    Hey,
    I'm a bit of a newbie to dreamboxes etc. so I'm just asking for some info/a guide/anything that will help me.
    I'm going to college in cork next year & im just looking for info about getting a dreambox and getting chor*s on it?

    Just pretty much what I would need to do and buy and how feasible this is.

    If I should have read some noobs guide before this I apologise and you can redirect me to one.

    Thanks

    this thread is for Dbox2 not Dreambox

    If you need info on dreambox's, it is all there for you if you search thru the forums

    i sent you a PM with a link to where you can find some guides

    Just be patient and be willing to fail and succeed and eventually learn.

    You will need to learn how to Flash a box and how to FTP

    Enjoy.. its a doddle when you get the hang of it
