    Hello Again Guys,

    In regards to my Klein System problem I got it sorted with this excellent guide and instructions:

    http://netwave.redirectme.net/dbox/ifa/

    Now that I can try images again, I'm still looking for the most stable one.

    I tried Benifas one here:
    http://www.ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/Sportster 1.7+ uk05_2x.exe

    It's working fine (I prefer this simpler Sportster layout, the channels change quicker) but there is a lot of glitching and freezing. I tried doing a BruteForce IE scan and it did not improve, the Uk6887 was better but still a lot of freezing.

    I also tried Garlads one:
    http://www.ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/Dublin/from garlad Dublin18/sportster_1.08_2x_Dublin.exe

    This one gave me much better reception and no freezing.
    I did not like the Sportster Pro layout though, there was too much information on the screen, it was very slow changing between channels and every time I tried changing settings (such as getting rid of some of the stuff on screen) it seemed to shut down (and be slow to start again).

    If there was some way of combining the stability of the Sportster Pro image with the more straightforward layout and menus of the normal Sportser image it would be great.

    I will try out the other uploaded images next, if anyone can recommend their favourite please let me know. I have 10 D-Boxs arriving that I am giving to family and friends so I want to establish what is the best and most stable image to put on all of them.

    Thanks again for all your help guys, I really appreciate it.

    Hi there,

    I've heard nothing about commando, everyone seems to use Sportster.

    Perhaps you could upload your image, I want to try as many as possible to find the best.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi, I have a good stable dublin version of 1.7 on my 2x nokias. I have my channels sorted by type. I have also "future proofed" the service and bouquet files. By that I mean I have added in the channel that was previously scuzz, I have renamed this "spare channel", I have added it in the bouquet as channel 142. When setanta golf was broadcast it went into the channel where "flaunt" was previously, flaunt was still on my service file but I couldnt find a way to get it into my bouquet with out a service file (perhaps a scan on update bouquet" would have worked). It was watchable but stuck at 141, this "spare channel" will be able to moved up to a different place if a new channel does take its place, (without the need for a PC or much know-how)
    All of my scans result in only 130 channels these days, and some channels are jittery. The image I have is stable though.

    If you (or anybody) wants a copy then pm my your email, I have both 1x & 2x versions.

    sporster pro was unstable for me too, commando didnt work, I got a 7.5 version with no keys, put the keys on from sposrter 1.7 but it didnt work. The only think I like on sporster pro & commando is that you cant press right after home and you get info on the other channels without taking over the screen

    Hi Im new here and I was wondering if someone could help me.
    I have a D BOX 2 with Sportster UK Image 2x Intel Flash.
    However my NTL is from an Antenna on the roof of my house which the frequency I think is MMDS in Co Dublin. However I cannot tune the box in due to this. Is there a way I can get this box to work over NTL MMDS? What do you I need to do? What steps should I take?
    Any help you guys could provide me with would be very much appreciated. Many Thanks

    Try this cables file
    http://www.ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/Dublin/from ruprect/cables.xml

    you will have to ftp it onto your box, and possibly delete scan.conf
    Then do try one of the mmds scans.

    If you are more comfortable with IFA then flash on the entire image here, http://www.ifawilson.com/downloads/Dbox/Dublin/from ruprect/
    this contains a cables for mmds.

    FIrst off check if your box already has a cables with mmds.

    dbox
    service menu
    pin 1111
    service provider (press OK to scroll through them)
    Fast scan off
    scan now

    ok I've got a little problem with my dBox and would love some help.

    I'm in Dublin and have NTL (not Digital but Ordinary)

    I've scanned a few times and got 41 channels.
    All the terestrial channels like BB1 & RTE etc are missing and only 2 channels have uncoded setanta and the city channel and well I can get them on NTL anyway.

    The rest all have "decode pending". Written on them. Will this eventually sort itself or have I done something wrong?
    Also the channels are showing me event listings and times but no picture or sound.
    I am using CableUK Sym6887.
    Although the same came through when I used BruteForce For UK

    And now comes the stupid questions.

    What is a cross over cable?
    Can I connect the dbox to my computer using an ethernet cable?

    How the do I flash an image?

    I've already downloaded the IFA assistant

    ok crossover cable is a type of ethernet you need to buy in a comp shop it will say cross over on it. move the image over into a tmp folder on the dbox and go into update image in the service menu write one partition flash without bootloader.

    Erm... I know I obviously sound like a divey on here but huh?
    Hopefully this'll make more sense once I get the cross over cable because right now I can't put anything on the dbox and as for writing a partition "without bootloader" again huh?

    But sure we live and learn

    I just hope the problem is the cross over cable.

    This better pay off haha. Its wrecking my head

    has anyone set up their dbox to decord through a dvd/hd recorder? I'm pretty sure it worked before but now i gat a "record is paused, current source is copy protected"

    i did change form commando to sportster but didnt expect this...some channes are working though....tv3, spy movies (all of them)

    is there a kindof macrovision looming?...

    You need a newer image for recording via dvd recorder and scart.
    In some older images the copy protection was set accidently.
