    You have to do a manual scan. The frequency scheme is different to NTL cable.

    DBOX2 with NTL in Dublin is not working anymore since the 24th May. I am Lead to believe NTL have copped on and changed and you will only get the Free to Air channels. This has happened my DBox is this the case? Has anyone a solution?

    If your cable has stopped, as mine did (in Dublin with N*L) then you need to change your softcam to MGcam. This should resolve everything.

    Found it using dbox menu Features (blue button), then System menu, then Emulators menu and made sure that only MGcamd was selected as 'on'. Did a 'Restart emululator' followed by a dbox reboot and now everything's fine.

    Has anyone else encountered periodic freezing of both picture and sound, after switching to MgCamd?
    I have only experienced it on RTE1, so far as I am watching the election coverage and have no checked other channels.

    This could be a signal problem (I played around with the connections last night).

    Please let me know if you have switched to MgCamd and are experiencing freezing (about ever 5-10 mins.)

    Apologies for a question from a total newbie!

    I haven't been able to find the correct menu (when I press the blue button I get the plugins menu). The 'setup' menu does not seem to have anything in relation to Emulators or softcam settings. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks in advance,

    T.

    If you press the DBOX button on the remote first, it should bring you into the menu.

    Hahaha
    Do you really think NTHell dont know about these boxes?
    They have to change away from nagravision if they dont want us using boxes like DBox, Starview, Eurovox, Etc anymore. Like sky had to do back in the ninties. All their equiptment will have to change.
    Anyway
    To fix your box download the Keys and copy them onto your dbox overwriting the old ones and change chmod to 755 for all files in keys folder, restart box and it should be ok, you wont even have to change the cam but for ireland the best cam is mgcam <me thinks>



    @timamansi
    What image are you using? the menus different with different images
    on the commando image its in the dbox - extras menu


    @djrio2003
    for what purpose?

    Sky via satellite is not hacked.

    The satellite version of the Dbox is just for FTV Channels

    so everyone talking about dbox2 is only using them on cable? i thought it would be the same for sky digital, so there is no way of getting the same results using a dbox2 with satelite?????

    Sky never used nagra. The scrambling system is NDS and if something went wrong Sky simply exchange all cards like 3 or 4 years before.
