Hi glic83,

I hav Dons-v4, Would this be the best one to use??

 

HELP!!!

I was wondering if someone could Please help me?
I think i have messed up my dbox2 by trying to record to a laptop
I used the below guide and followed the all steps and now when i rebooted my dbox the it does nothing and LCD starts to boot up as normal the just stays at blank blue lCD and i'm unable to access through flashFXP

the only problem i encountered was when i was doing "Recording Settings" and the guide said "4. Select "Default Recording Directory" and select "mnt/movies"" I could not find mnt/movies only the mnt/ but i think i may have deleted this directory by pressing a wrong button as it did not state what button did what.

can someone please tell me if this is recoverable or has had a similar problem?

Or even if not fixable by instructions does anyone do repairs dublin based or close, i'm willing to pay of course!
i'm desparate if someone can get in touch would be great
Thanks




"Recording Direct to your PC
Ok here is where things get a little more complicated. I only advise doing this if you are really
comfortable with flashing/scanning etc as there have been problems in the past lol
Mounting your Harddrive so that your Dbox can see it
1. Make sure your computer is set to the settings given in "First things first, Setting up the PC so
that its ready to communicate with the Dbox"
2. Make sure your username on the pc has a password on it. If not then create one by going into
control panel, user accounts, select your username then create a password.
3. Create a folder in your C: drive named "Dbox" then folders inside it called "Movies", "MP3" and
"Pics"
4. Right click on each of the folders, including the "Dbox" one, then select "Sharing and Security"
5. Tick "Share this folder on the Network" and "Allow network users to change my files" then click
"Ok"
6. Press "Dbox" on your remote.
7. Select "Settings"
8. Select "Network Settings"
9. Scroll to "Mount Network Volume"
10. Select the fist NFS:
11. Change "Type" to CIFS
12. Change "Server IP" to 192.168.0.101
13. Change "Directory Share" to "Dbox"
14. Change "local Directory" to /mnt
15. Mount on startup is optional
16. Mount Options are to be set to rw,soft,udp
17. Username is your windows username and password is the windows password
18. Select Mount Now.
Recording Settings
1. Press Dbox then "Settings" then "Recording"
2. Scroll "Recording device" until it says "Direct(file)"
3. Select "Direct Recording Settings"
4. Select "Default Recording Directory" and select "mnt/movies"
5. Set Max File size to 4096
6. Set No. of Ringbuffers to 20
7. Set all other options to off with the exception of "record all Audio PID's" and "Long
Filename....." Which should be set to "on"
8. Go back then select "Save/Activate Changes"
9. Go back again then go to Miscellaneous
28. Set "Load SPTS at boot" to "on"
29. Go back then save again
Now the Box is set to record to your computer, its time to sort out playback.
1. Press "Dbox"
2. Select "Movie Player"
3. Select "Settings"
4. Set "Streaming Server" to "On"
5. Set "Streaming Server IP" to 192.168.0.101

Could someone give me a log from a working eurovox or dreambox for chor*s mmds.

 

A eurovox is not working for chorus mmds.
You need a box with a dvb-t tuner. Dream 500-t or dream 600 with dvb-t tuner or dream 7025 with dvb-t tuner.

 

Hey Guys,

I'm having trouble getting SKY1 and some other stations in Cork. Using Nokia DBOX2 with Sportster image. Would anyone have a Services, Bouquet and Cable.xml for the cork area? It's cable I'm using not MMDS. The box is finding 106 station in total including radio stations when it scans, 79 of the 106 are TV stations.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

cheers

 

Hey again guys,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out here. I have a DBOX 2 with a Sportster image on it. I'm having a small bit of trouble at the moment with it. After i turn on the box everything is fine but after a few mins the picture switches to black and white, sometime if left alone long enough the colour will come back again otherwise i have to reestart the DBox to fix it. It's really getting on my nerves to be honest.

If anyone could offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

dbox button -> video.
Try plain CVBS if your TV has problems with RGB.

 

Thanks for the reply. I've actually tried that already but had no luck. It works away for a small while but then switches over all of a sudden.

Any other ideas as to what it might be? would a reflas of the box help?

Cheers again!

 

Try a other scart lead.

 

hi, does anybody know what chorus in swords is on cable or mmds?
cheers,
m

 

Could possibly be a bad scart or TV, have you tried it on another TV?

 

Anybody have a link to the most recent 1 X Imges for Sagem? Ive been running Commando 6 but lately it seems to be freezing ALOT and is pi$$ing me off. I heard Blade might work. Lost my laptop (stolen) so all the cables files etc I had bookmarked were on that so may need more info for N_L Dublin. I was trying to find Benifs website.

Thanks Guys.....

 

I havent seen any frequency changes in dublin ntl.
To me a frequency change would mean the services file has to change. The cables file is used to generate a new services file. NTL usually are only changing the encryption on channels, this is not a frequency change though.

I have had one guy report a nokia with jumpy channels, I have yet to see the box though. I have set up boxes for FOAF's who then claim they are "broken". Usually turns out they tried rescanning or changing settings for no reason at all. Then I presume they cannot remember what they did, get no channels and call it broken. I renamed a lot of channels in my service file, so I can spot if people have rescanned.

Rescanning has resulted in jumpy channels for me for the last few months.
