Dbox In Ireland

Thanks for your reply mgb17 , finding it hard to locate a 500t, any suggestions of dealers that you know that have them. Thanks

 

Some dealers in germany, ks-shop24.de for instance.

 

Cheers for that mgb17 will have a look there.Thanks

 

I am having the same problem . to clarify .

its as if the first 3/4s (looking from left to right) contains the full image. then the final quater of the screen is a repeat of the first quarter. very weird. I have figured out how to fix it but its really annoying.

you have to go into the dbox menu and change the aspect ratio until the full image shows up.

the problem is that when you switch back to a differnet channel you get black bars top and bottom.

did anyone figure out how to fix this properly

 

Hi, I just bought a nokia dbox2 from ebay with Neutrino Linux Sportster Software 1.10 on it which has all german cable providers and no uk ones. I am completely new to this and the whole flashing thing confuses me. I downloaded the sportster 1.7+uk05_2x image from the forum and the cables.xml and services.xml files. can somebody tell me what to do now in simple english. I know I have to hook up to my pc using the crossover (and serial cable?) and then use an ftp program to upload the file. The part that confuses me is do I have to put both xml files and the sportster image on? can somebody point me in the right direction for this procedure, thanks in advance, great forum

 

You have to flash first the new image and if the image is running you can upload the files you want.

 

Hi guys,,
ch***s in cork are upgrading ??? their lines. since they have started the dbxx is gone mad,, only now i am starting to make progress,,,, have most channels except r*e 1-2 t**3 spy sp***s 1 is up watchable , and none of the spy M****s are being picked up,,
as far as i know they have changed their services to ch***s
..cork-swords

have tried several different cables\service.xmls --- all the same
have pic but freezes,,,, anyone have uppdated xmls for down south..

 

bloody hell mate - reading your post is like reading some kind of cryptic code language! lol..

Have you checked techno-source?

 

@robkev
The solution is easy.
U** **e i***h c*b*e*.x*l.

 

sorry guys my brain is fried today tring to sort out routing issues at work,
i have checked techno-source?
basically since chro*s in cork have made their changes i am unable to pick up any of the spy movie, local channels rt€ 1-2 are not coming thur either am using the new sportster image out on the 28\2\07
this is suppose to be hdd ready?i am using the irish.zip xmls.
most channels are ok but the sports and movies are freezing or not being picked up after a scan..
u code is 14 should this be 001a and if so whats the difference...

 

Use this version of the irish cables.xml and try chorus cable or chorus bruteforece. Upload to /var/tuxbox/config, delete scan.conf in the same folder and unplug the box.

Quick Question Guys:

Are D-Boxes illegal to buy/sell in Ireland?

As far as I was aware there is some kind of law against selling these in the U.K but as far as I know no such law exists here?

I know it probably breaks your Cable Providers terms and conditions to use one (though I doubt they would even cancel your subscription if they knew about it) but is it illegal to buy, sell or own one?

Thanks,
Robert

 

its not illegal to buy sell or own one,it is breaking the terms and conditions contract of your cable provider to connect one to your line as you are only allowed to use their equipment and they could sue you but probably wouldnt get far it definitely is illegal to have an emulator on it that can decrypt channels you havent paid for and they would need to prove you had an emulator on it but to be honest they wouldnt bother.

 

Has anybody added a HDD to the nokia d-box. I see you can buy an IDE interface that allows you to hook up a HDD so that you can record directly on the HDD. Anybody tried this?

 

I have put my new cables, services and bouquet here
http://techno-source.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2874#2874


Sky movie channels renamed with sky movies at the end so it is clearer on screen. e.g. sky movies comedy is now comedy sky movies.

I have put the HDTV 9 & 10 at the end of the bouquets.
I added a "spare channel" which was previously scuzz.
Other channels names were updated e.g. discovery turbo.
I renamed the duplicate setantas Ireland a, and Ireland b.

Made some other changes to names, like FILMFOUR+1 is now Film Four +1
I changed a few names like this to better match the others in the group.

I am emailing the sagem 1x and nokia 2x images to benifa right now.

 

what hdtv channels,ntl ireland dont broadcast hdtv?

 

Just a quick tip for anybody only picking up around 50 channels, turn fast scan OFF and then you should get 140+

 

They dont, but they are still broadcasting at least epg info for skymovies 9 & 10 which are supposed to be HD. I included them at the end of my image file along with the channel that was scuzz. This sort of futureproofs the image. I am guessing that NTL will be likely to release new channels on these same settings, (like golf appeared on flaunt). This way people who dont have much access to pc's or can not scan correctly might automatically get new channels in and only have to rename and move them. Or even just live with the wrong name, at least they have them.

I imagine many people here are getting boxes for mates who are not into much technical stuff.

 

hi guys just looking for some newbie type advice.
I've been reading this thread about using dreambox with NTL in Dublin.

can anyone explain why I should buy a DBox 2 over a 500c or whatever?
can anyone reccommend a good seller?

thanks in advance

 

They are basically the same thing, dbox2 is cheaper than dreambox but dreambox looks nicer.
I bought mine from germany on ebay from this guy, flashed, all cables etc and it works great!!!
