Dbox In Ireland

are you from irel;and john 04

 

I get 184 "things", 141 TV stations, some radio and some data. There are about 110 "watchable" channels on NTL, i.e. lots are crap like QVC, bloomberg & all the euronews ones.

If you are on NTL you should be able to just flick through the pace box and this shows you all the channels you will get.

If people are having trouble, try all the scans you can, even if not for your region, and in slow and fast scan mode. With one scan I got more watchable channels using fast scan, but less channels picked up overall, e.g. ~70 perfect vs, 40 perfect +100 jittery. It might tide you by until you get it sorted.

 

HI THERE FOLKS, BOUGHT A D-BOX 2 RECENTLY FROM GUSTAV IN GERMANY,
PLUGGED IT IN AND IT CAN`T FIND CHANNELS EVEN THOUGH MY MATE`S
WORKS NO PROB. I`M IN CORK (CHORUS)IT`S D-BOX2 CABLE UK LINUX
NEUTRINO DEBUG AND HAS BEEN FLASHED WITH LINUX SPORTSTER PRO(UK)
IMAGE . ANY IDEAS

 

It probably only came with UK scan options on it, which may not work for you. have you got the cable to load on a new cables.xml file?
try benifas or mgb17s

 

CHEERS, I DIDN`T GET ANY CABLES WITH IT. WILL AN ETHERNET CABLE
WORK AND WILL I NEED TO CHANGE IT TO COMMANDO AND IF SO DOES ANYONE
HAVE IT

 

It needs to be a crossover ethernet cable. This is not the usual one you might have. A crossover cable will usually say crossover on it.

You can get them cheap on ebay. It is worth having if you are into computers at all, it is handy being able to connect to a pc with the box.

 

CHEERS AGAIN, MY MATE WAS READING UP FOR ME AS HIS WORKS FINE
AND HE RECKONS I NEED COMMANDO FOR THE CORK CHORUS AREA SO ILL
BUY A CROSSOVER CABLE TOMORROW AND HE ALSO HAS A LIST OF .XML
FILES TO TRANFER TO MY BOX WILL IT WORK???

 

If your mates is all working OK and you have the same type of box he can just backup his image, this will contain all his cables files & tv sorting etc. Then you can simply flash this to your box. It also helps since he can reload it on his if it ever goes wrong. It is handy if you want to play about with settings, if something goes wrong you just reflash, sort of like the windows "restore to last known good configuration"

To do this he needs to press dbox, then go to back up the image (might be in backup/restore), choose "read one partition", then "without bootloader"

This will make a img file in a folder, usually tmp, this is about 8mb. This is then transfered onto yours using IFA with no need for any other ftp software.
If you do get it working forward on the image file to benifa at dboxme@googlemail.com stating where you are, what box, what image, what cable provider
he is compling a list of known working images for different areas so people can just download them and transfer with IFA with no need for ftp software.

 

GREAT STUFF,BUT HAVE TO CHECK MY MATE`S BOX AS HE BOUGHT IT IN IRELAND LAST YEAR AND CAN`T GET IN TO THE SETTINGS AS WE TRIED
WHEN I GOT MINE FIRST BUT AM RINGING HIM ASAP.

 

Your shift key is locked.
Text in capital letters is interpreted as crying at forums.

 

Is it even a dbox2? most I hear people buying are starviews, a mate also had a guy do something to his standard pace box to get all the channels, dunno if it was internal or the card.

 

or also known as "shouting". - not popular.

Can users please read the forum before asking questions that have been answered many times. The knowledgable will get pi$$ed off in the forum if the same questions get asked yet again.

 

that would mean one is paying for digital. why?

 

Hi Guys
Been following the thread for ages now and finally got a sagem dbox 2
Loaded sportster 2 image, scanned on NT1 Dublin
Can find all the channels 160 I think
I can see the information for each channel
But I can only view some channels
A green unopened lock appears on rte1, tv3, setanta, euronews
but a red lock appears on most the other channels
anyone have any idea of whats wrong, the signal in the house isnt the greatest but my subbed nt1 box works fine

Cheers
Cathal

PS
Signed up to that other forum BTW but it didnt send me my activation email so I cant post on it, If anyone is a mod could you help me, I signed up with username cynos

Cheers again

Cathal

 

Hi cathal,
If your signal is weak you may need a booster,check your BER,SNR,SIG values just press red then blue and post back their values

 

@cathaldub
A emu must be enabled and you have to wait a little bit for autoupdate.
Without a valid key you get only the none scrambled channels.

 

How do I enable one?
Sorry for the dumb question

 

@wiz
ber 0
SNR 64000 - 67000
sig 0
bitrate 2000 - 6000

In the folder
/var/emu/
I have camd2
I'm presuming this is my emulator

/var/keys
and this is where I need to put keys?

It looks like you got a none modified image. Flash a UK modded image or one of the irish images.

 

Yeah mgb17 is right mate,your readings are fine SIG 0 is common on sagems.
