    Nokia DBox2 up and running for a few days now.
    Originally had 1.08 Sportster, but decided to flash the dublin sportster 1.7 image on benifas site.
    Couple of issues:
    1) When in standby (shows clock on lcd), box turns itself on after a while (noticed in the morning), and no picture shows on screen , and remote doesnt function. Need to unplug.
    Works fine in full standby (little green dot on lcd), but not the best solution as have to wait a minute for box to boot.

    2) Rebooted itself last night while watching Sky Movies.

    3) Freezes the odd time for a few seconds (only noticed it on Movie channels so far)

    Anyone else have these issues? Solutions?
    Also, anyone got a link to a 1.08 image?

    Hi I have a dbox, I think I have a Dbox 1, not sure, I think it is as it only has an old modem port instead of an ethernet port on the back....will it still work in Ireland?

    Hi Smudger, is that link in reply to my Dbox 1 Dilema? I think all I need is to get an old modem and modem cable and I should be able to flash it no problem?

    There is another thread regarding dbox1 on this forum - can't remember where it is, but search for it. Basically the dbox1 is 100x more hassle than it's worth. My advice would be to try and get as much money for it as you can on your favourite auction site and put the dosh towards a dbox2.

    Anybody got any better pearls of wisdom?

    Anyone know what these cam and key files I hear about are for?

    Also, if I want to try and flash with a UK 1.08 sportster image, what do I need to do to get it working? Do I just take my scan.conf, services.xml, cables.xml and bouquet files from my current 1.7 dublin sporter image and ftp them over once flashed with 1.08?
    Having a couple of issues (see previous post) with 1.7 image.

    Hi all, sorry if this has been answered before!

    Im seeing a small picture distortion on all channels with my "new" nokia dbox2. Im getting all the channels thats fine but no matter what channel im watching its like i can a load of dots that almost look like text burned into the background but it keeps moving a small amount.

    Anyway, it happens on ALL channels and ive rescanned three times and its still there. Id DOESNT happen on teh EPG its just the actual tv picture.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Maybe a hardware fault. If the memory for the digital picture is faulty at some bytes you get garbage at that position at the screen.
    If could be also a problem with a hardware driver. Try first a other image.

    I got both of my sagem 1x's working fine in the end. Will post a more detailed post but basically mgb17's dublin scan worked. I combined benifas and mgb17s cable files, so it now contains about 12 services. For me I got dublin and one of the UK ones to work for me (I have 2 UK 6887s, only one works well).
    I have just forwarded the bouquets, cables, service and the full pacinosporster1.7-1x-dublin.img onto benifa. It should be on his site soon, if you are in a rush pm me your email and I will forward them to you too.

    your answer of scan fialed or no chanels is extremeely vague.tell me what frequency your scannn on sym 6887 i presume and what are you ntl or chorus mmds or cable.tell me a bit more about the error and you do a direct cable or ntl mmds feed from wherever you gte your servcies and that it connected to the proper out lets on the back of the box

    Including radio - yes, it would be about 160 channels. Sorry I've not been around for a while lads, had things on..

    Ruprect I'm going to upload your files when I get home - thanks for your contribution..

    There's another forum actually, I've been spending most my time online there, it's http://techno-source.co.uk/phpbb/ check it out..
