    Whats worse is they leave another cables.xml in the usual place so you have no reason to think it is not the correct location!

    There was an article in todays daily mirror about nokia dboxes, had some photo of some box I have never seen before. Said they were €250 and that NTL knew about them. NTL spokesperson described them as "illegal" and "furthermore, NTL is constantly updating its encryption system which renders these devices inoperable in regards to accessing the cable signal". (shame it is their own pace boxes they also render inoperable while nokias are still fine!)
    "as part of any company's corporate soccial responsibility, we must ensure that consumers are aware that the use of these devices to access teh NTL signal is not only illegal theft but also in breach of the broadcasting act, copyright infringment."


    Blade version 2 is now available at www.digitalworldz.co.uk will test it on my sagems this weekend

    i found that article in The Mirror, all thats going to happen is that more and more people will look into DBox's, and in turn UPC/N7L/Ch0rus will implement more measures to counter act the use of these boxs.

    I know that a Dbox2 will just spend 10 sec finding the new key/code, but what about a Dreambox accessing MMDS, will that automatically find the new code, or will the user have to rescan or reprogramme ??

    i'm asking cos i've ordered a DM600-T for use with MMDS

    Ok quite a while ago I posted in desperation about my freezing, jamming, chirping total basket case of a sagem dbox2 which I was about to throw out the window.
    One of the experts (mgb17 if I recall - thanks a lot oh wise one) on the thread suggested that I try a gcam-based image...
    I tracked down a 1X changed it to a 2x and killed my dbox with a keine system. After that I left it for a month because I had neither a x-over cable or a null modem cable. Got both of these yesterday and rolled back to the previous image - this where it gets interesting...

    Downloaded Blade2.1 for Sagem 2x (from techno-source)
    Downloaded Irish9 (cables.xml - from this thread I think)

    Flashed with blade
    rebooted
    deleted scan.conf from /var/tuxbox/config
    Inserted cables.xml into /share/tuxbox
    Unplugged
    Scan on NTL IE BF (quickscan off of course)
    Left it on sky sports for 30 minutes.

    Now have a ROCK SOLID signal which instead of freezing and chirping every 10/15 minutes will much less frequently go black for no more than 2 seconds and return to normal - much, much better - delighted. I also no longer need the signal booster ( which clearly wasn't the issue in the 1st place)

    So having tried pacino, commando, and every variation og ucode and cam, boosted an unboosted, brute forces and imprted cable files etc. etc. ad nauseum - the solution for me at least was gcam embedded in blade 2.1 - I totally recommend it but be sure to follow the steps as detailed above

    Thanks
    Kinch

    I Have to agree with KinchJes. The most Stable image for the sagems X2 is the new Blade 2 image. I suffered from freezing picture with commando 8.2 and sportster 1.7 uk tried a few others aswell Blade 2 is so stable on Sagem X2. Great will never need another image

    Same here, I've got Blade running on a sagem 2x, and with a lot of help from people on here ive got it running perfectly. I took a while to figure out the cables.xml goes into share/tuxbox and not var/tuxbox /config.

    Where did ye all get the Sagem X2 Blade image? could only find a 1x blade on techno.

    1x blade is working well on a Sagem 1x box so would like to try the 2x image on another box.

    Thanks
