Dbox In Ireland

Flash the box with IFA via crossover and nullmodem cable and check the log output.

 

This is the source of my problem I did flash it and now it only goes as far as loading kernel can not connect to the computer anymore to correct problem

 

Thanks Dsleeper

 

Use a crossover and a nullmodem cable and check the log output in the IFA window.
Click at copy to clipboard and paste here in a posting.

 

I was able to do it ising a router but your milage may vary.

Make sure the IFA server is runnig and reboot the box holding the off button and up arrow at the same time.

It may take a couple of attempts

 

Hi there

I have Dbox 2 working off NTL in Dublin. My service scan found all the channels, but the terrestrial stations like RTE, Net2 and some others are freezing/jumpy.

I noticed that others have also had this problem, and it seems that I need the NTL Dublin services xml. I was wondering if someone (maybe DSLEEPER!) could point me in the right direction, for getting this services file.

Anybody's help would be much appreciated!

 

Are the channels FTN, NASN & Racing UK, working for anyone on Chorus cable.

 

Change the UCodes and this normally sorts out the problem. Why are people still getting in the DBox when you can get a brand new Dreambox for around the same money ???? The last DBox was produced about six or seven years ago, so they are old kit.

 

Hi folks back again, somewhere along the way I did something right and my Dbox2 is up and running again. Many thanks to those who replied to my cries for help.
Now I want to delete some of the channels(Adult)can this be done and how. many thanks in advance.

 

Maybe channels can be deleted or "hidden" by editing Bouquets

 

Great info on this thread folks.
Just have a question or two. I'm thinking of buying a Nokia dbox 2 on ebay. I live in Navan in Meath and have a basic Chorus connection. Does the Nokia dbox work on Chorus. I know that the Starview doesn't work as a friend tried it.
Also is the Nokia Dbox easy to set up
Thanks for any help/advice

 

It depends if you get chorus cable or chorus mmds.
Chorus mmds is not functional with a dbox.

 

newbie question, whats the difference between cable and mmds? and what is mmds?? ill be moving soon to a chorus only area and just wondering what ill need..

 

Mmds is being broadcast over the air and you get a mmds aerial or there is a central mmds mast with antenna in the town.
NTL mmds is functional via a cable box and chorus mmds need a box with dvb-t tuner.

 

I started a thread for this but got no answers - trying here might be better.

Has anybody used the new Digivox box in Ireland? How is it?

 

Try here mate

Hello all, new to this stuff and have just got a dbox, ran the scan and it appears to pick up the channels but I get no picture. I can see the free to air ones OK, City Channel, Setanta etc.,

I am using a Sportster 1.08 Image in Dublin, I have read most of the previous posts and I get the impression that if I get a services.xml file and FTP it to the Dbox it should solve the problem?

I have tried leaving it on the SkySports channel but this did no good.

Can anybody tell me where I can get the services file (there is a link in one of the earlier posts but the file no longer exists).

Or is there something else I should be trying first?

All suggestions appreciated!!

 

If you do a scan and it picks up all the channels but you only have picture (you can see rte2 but not rte1) then it seems like it is only set up to look at fta programs.

...from MGB17 on another board...
DBox button -> Sportster extras -> camd-selection
Enable only one Emu, save settings.

 

When I tried that I think it said that it only supported 1 cam d. So I could not change anything there. Does that sound right ?

I will take another look at that when I get home, but am fairly sure I could not change anything there.

 

If there is no other camd available it looks like you got no UK modded sportster.
