    Anyone know is there a Star View box that works with NTL MMDS Aerial? If so, which one & how do you connect it up?

    Hi All
    I have a Sagem 2X and have tried
    Sportster 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8 beta
    Pacino 1 (apparently suited to jittery Sagems)
    Commando xx - forget version - am at work (pretty sure not 8 though - duno where to download 8)

    I have tried each of these with and without the cable and services files provided by various people (from the Ireland 6 zip file if memory serves) in this discussion thread.

    I also have bought an adjustable gain signal booster from Maplins and tried them with and without the booster

    I have tired a variety of CAMs etc (not exhaustive however)

    I have no difficulty picking up all channels - BUT after a variable amount of time (dependent on the channel perhaps) the image starts to jitter/go black and the sound starts to chirrup quite badly

    Most people on this thread seem to either struggle to get anything or everything works perfectly after dropping tin the cable file or whatever. I however seem to be stuck in the middle. My wife wants me to sell it but I have spent so much time playing with the damn thing that I am reluctant. Anybody have any suggestions?
    Cheers
    Kinch

    Try ucode 001A and reboot your box.

    hi mgb17
    I have indeed tried each of the Ucode options with each of the CAM settings (admittedly not in every image to date). I have pretty much tried everything tried or suggested in this tread to date before caving in and making a post. The annoying thing is I don't even watch TV - it's for my daughters Sccoby Doo obsession :)

    BTW I am in D3 on basic NTL .
    Cheers

    If you are unlucky you got a sagem with a enx chip problem.
    In such a case try a image with gbox emu.

    Jaysus, thats raised the learning curve a tad or two.
    I must admit the lazy sod in me through the posts looking for a link to a Sagem 2X UK version for download but I didn't see one. I'm so paranoid aboout keine system or whatever it s called that I'm not my usual cavalier self!!

    Ok I've had a proper read of the thread and I've downloaded the various files. Just one question or perhaps point me to a link . What does
    "Install here /var/bin and make sure you change via telnet to chmod 755 *.*mean?

    Cheers for all help to date - much appreciated

    When you say 'basic NTL' does that mean basic digital or do you not have digital just the 'basic NTL' if you know what I mean.

    I thought you had to have the Basic DIGITAL pack to use a DBOX on?

    Am I mistaken?? (Hope I am!!).

    Re my original question "Anyone know is there a Star View box that works with NTL MMDS Aerial? If so, which one & how do you connect it up?"
    Does anyone actually have a box working with MMDS aerial? All I get is "no signal".

    Anyone having problems with their dbox on NTL Ireland, only from today? The decoding isn't working as the picture freezes. They seem to have changed the decryption keys as my NTL Pace box works fine.

    Is there a fix?
