    I just emailed it to you. You can use IFA to load it, this is the easiest if you have never used FTP software.

    If you use FTP you can connect to the box then put it into the tmp folder, this should be at the top of the directories.

    If you turn off the box the image is deleted from the tmp folder, so do not reboot after loading via FTP

    Then go to the service menu and select image update, it might be image restore, or in backup or something.

    You then select "without bootloader", then you should be able to see the image you just put in, move down to select it and press ok. It will now load and reboot or turn itself off.

    It is permanent. You can backup your image on the box at any time, it will stay in the tmp folder until rebooted.

    So if you want to play about scanning you should always backup your image, then scan for new channels. If you end up loosing channels, or deleting your bouquet or something you can always just load back on your image without the need for a PC. But if rebooted you lose the old settings unless you have them on PC.

    Is there a yellow key appearing on the channels
    I bet Network 2 works
    your cams and ucodes are not installed
    have a look on tecno-source.co.uk for info on how to fix
    Or get a fully working image from some1

    You have to assign a fixed IP to the network card which is connected to box.
    192.168.0.1 for instance.

    Yes I did that,
    NokiaDbox2- ip 192.168.0.100
    subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
    default gateway - 192.168.0.1

    PC - 192.168.0.101
    subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
    default gateway - 192.168.0.1

    Is that what the error is saying,I'm running xp home on desktop and xp pro on laptop, both giving the same error.

    Hi,
    Sorry but Im getting a bit confused. Can someone point me in the right direction please. I have a Nokia Dbox and Im on NTL in Dublin. Do I just have to upload Sportster Image 1.7 onto my Dbox. Then plug in my Dbox including arial and the channels will be recived or do I also have to upload the service and bouquet files?
    Thanks

    @herim2
    Do you use a crossover cable?
    Did you choose the right network card inside IFA?

    You need a UK modded image and if you are too lazy for a own scan you need matching service and bouquet files.

    @cathaldub
    Which IP?
    The underlying bootmanager got 0.0.0.202 and that means there was no fixed IP set to the choosen network card at the pc.
    IFA use x.x.x.202 for the box and the first 3 ranges are taken from the pc network card.

    Hi - no Im not to lazy to do anything - will do what ever it takes - just I get a bit confused - I received the Sportster image 1.7 from Ruprect so I guess that has a UK modded image. Just not sure what to do next after I upload that - a guy I was talking to the other day said I can just upload that and then get the Dbox itself to do a scan and get the channels - he said that worked for him
    Thanks
