    At the risk of sounding kranky...There's about 4000 possible solutions in the previous 56 pages of this thread!!! Make some tea and start at page 1, make notes about suggestions, acquire the various bits of software necessary to change images and to repair the sagem when it breaks because the image is 1x instead of 2x or whatever(if you don't have them already), get a null modem cable and a cross over cable (if you don't have them already), download some images, apply them, review the image quality and reliability, etc etc. As per a post I made the other day I found that blade image totally rehabilitated my Sagem having tried pretty much every other flavour of image - sporster, commando, pacino, multiple cams, multiple ucodes, boosted, unboosted, bruteforced, cable files, and every permuation thereof - a total pain in the arse but it sdeems that no two boxes/locations are the same and what works for me may not work for you (I am N*L,analogue cable, dublin city).
    Cheers

    Thanks Kinch
    I am also on N*L analogue, in D15. If you think the blade image might work for me, please direct me to get one.

    Hi Jaypea1
    On page 55 of this thread I have a post describing the process in enough detail to get you over the line - pay particular attention to the location of files - you will find the most recent blade 2x image on digitalworldz.co.uk

    good luck
    Kinch

    Hi Guys, Im thinking of upgrading from my current telly to a HD ready LCD. Currently I cannot get the Sky HD channels ( i think they are sky movies 9 and 10) my question is that if I get this TV will I be able to receive those channels?

    also, im using commando 6 on my sagem 1X in Dublin on N&L and lately it seems to be freezing an awfull lot.... Anybody else having this problem? Otherwise its great and hasnt given me any troubles whatsoever.

    You will need a HD STB, I don't think that your sagem is a HD STB. (stb=set top box)

    Basic answer, is NO

    Cool thanks, I read some where that there's a lot of clones and fakes. Is there any way of telling which is which?

    only buy from a trusted seller
    or me

    Starview or eurovox for ease of use

    DBox is better for the techie who wants to link the box with PC/Laptop for recording and watching movie files etc

    hello cathaldub
    i had a atmega163 au card working fine,but now i only get a hand full of channels while the rest and all premium channels are scrambled.
    i see ape and chaos are out for atmega and funcard,but these are of no use to me as there only for ntl,tw and cw.

    Hello,

    I was recently having trouble with my Nokia D-Box and got an image from Ruprect (Sportster 1.7) that worked fine.

    I flashed the same image to another box and left it unused for about 2 weeks. Then when I tried to use this box it would not decode the channels even though the identically imaged box was working fine.

    The box that I had left plugged in is still working. I had a look and it seems the Keylist has been updated, most recently on June 22nd with the following:

    N 5401 01 49ECA40C4FA030C6 ; ROM7 AU Key Time Fri Jun 22 17:27:30 2007

    Why is it that the same image on the box that has not been used for two weeks will not update when plugged in for a while when the update is clearly working on the box that has plugged in all the time? Is it that if the keys change a few times the box cannot catch up?

    It's a strange situation. My brothers box in the same house has been working fine despite n*ls repeated messing with codes. Also the box that had not been updating worked on n*l in another area (Bray) but will not work in the area of Dublin I live in (tried with 3 different connections), it's strange. Eventually I just copied the image from my working box onto the one that wasn't working and it's fine again but this has not happened before.

    Ruprects image was previously bulletproof but it seems now as if I need to keep a box plugged in all the time to keep it automatically updating.

    Is there any reason why this is happening and anyway around it. Like I said I am using an image that is stable and has previously had no trouble.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Check the ROM files: They are causing the errors in the AU = {2}. Peeps are posting images and backups and the files are not correct !!!! Why do you think that the EVox works so well ???? or the new Starview fix ?????
