Dbox In Ireland

cheers man

 

Whats the deal with this netid scanning?
Supposed to be much faster.
I set my region under the netid scanning menu option, but dont know what to do after that.
Anyone know how to do it on Sportster? Step by step would be good.
Cheers

 

Network attached storage + Dbox


Hi there,

I have a Dbox 2 and a network attached storage device that I got in the last Lidl sale.

Both these devices are attached to my router.

Does anyone know how to record from the dbox to the NAS storage??

Thanks in advance,

Pad

 

go to techno souce and read the guides on this issue padshea

 

Gents,

I'm on NTL in Dublin and my picture is jumpy on the dbox on some channels. Sky movies etc is fine but RTE and channel 4 are unwatchable.

I read that using other's service.xml file can resolve the problem.

Can you send me your services.xml?

I noticed a few links to one but they are broken.

Many thanks!

 

are you a member of techno source be 1 if you arent get on there and the servces.xml for dublin is there wth a good bouquet and everything

 

You could try scanning the mgb17's version of UK 6887. Or NTL cable dublin. My services etc are posted here.

Are you using Sportster or Pacino or commando?

 

Anyone fit a 3 pin plug on their Nokia?
Can you just cut the 2 pin plug off, and you have a blue and brown wire for a 3 pin?

 

Certainly can mate.. They're not earthed, so just connect one to neutral and the other to live (doesn't matter which).. Just don't connect anything to earth..

 

I have tried them all, sporster 1.7 on the nokia was my most stable. I now have commando 7.5 on a sagem 2x which is going well, and most of the 1x sagems are pacino or regular sporster 1.7.
The other sportsters didnt work too well for me, and commando needs ucode 001A & mgcam

 

I usually just jam something in the earth and put the 2 pin in. This means my german plug could have gone in 2 different ways, so like benifa says, it doesnt matter which wire goes where, as long as it is not earth.

 

Got a DBOX II the other day with the sportster 176 image on NTL. I noticed that Sky Sports 2 comes up as the channel at the bottom of the screen but the station is UKTV and not Sky Sports 2 the same thing happens with Sky Sports 3 do you know why? Do I need to scan for channels again to fix the issue?

Cheers all....

 

ALWAYS backup before rescanning. Go to services and image backup. You want to back up one partion without bootloader.
This is now saved in the tmp folder on the dbox. If the dbox is turned off or rebooted it will be deleted. The file will be called something like mtd3.img.

Now you can put this on your PC if you have the cables and ftp software, but as long as you do not restart the box it is still there.

Now go to service scan.
Pick bouquet- update existing, or leave existing.
Manual scan off-
Service provider, e.g. ntl cable dublin

then start scan. This should leave your channels in teh same order and rename them. Sometimes some channels get duplicated or moved to the end, these can be deleted or removed.

If you end up with a bad scan you can always go back and reload/restore the image you just backed up. This can be done without a PC, just go to the same place where you picked to backup but this time restore, without bootloader, the saved image will be selectable.

Better to have a few wrongly names channels than no channels.

hi guys,
i know the dbox doesnt work on sky, all iv seen so far on the forum is nt1 and chorus, but does it work through any other providers such as magnet?
cheers

 

Nope, because magnet use DSL.. The dbox cable is only comptible with cable. VM in the UK, or NTL/Chorus in Ireland..
