Dbox In Ireland

my setanta 1 and setanta golf are gone for a few days , have mgb17's irish8 file on sagem 2x. Not really in the mood for messing around with it without knowing exactly what im doing. will the irish9 file help? anyone know how to sort it out? cheers.

 

Dunno what image you are running. If you have my service files then it probably still has sky movies 9 & 10 at the end around channel 140. In the last month or so setanta 1 & golf have been broadcast on these channels, dunno what NTL are upto, I presumed they were just testing out the channels. On mine golf & 1 are still broadcast in their old location and on sky movies 9 & 10

I think I might not have sent a few images to people who pm'd me. I have my cable back not. I will be getting the latest blade running tonight and should have it to email this week. Latest blade is trinity V2, over at www.digitalworldz.co.uk

 

yeah i have your blade2 2x but i had to update with mgb17's irish8 file and scan nthelldublinbf to get anything in Galway. took a lot of messing around to get everything running ok so i'm not mad about the idea of messing around with the box again.

 

Simply backup services.xml and bouquets.xml at your pc and start then a fresh scan with the option leave current bouquets.

 

The frequencies changed, but only slightly, so it affected the other boxes not the dbox2's

 

The frequency change were done some month ago.
If you use the latest irish cables.xml you should get all channels except maybe for true cable in Waterford. There is no feedback from Waterford.
The cables.xml from ruprect doesn't include the right frequencies for NTL cable ie.
Moving channels from one frequency to a other frequency through UPC is a other story and need maybe a fresh scan depending on the dbox settings.

 

I remember now, so my services was always useless in galway, just a strange coincidence that NTL galway & dublin are both messing about with setanta 1 & setanta golf.

My scans from months ago are still all working fine, if I try a rescan I get jumpy channels. I might try mgb17's cables.xml , but if it scanned OK ages ago and the freequencies are still OK should it not scan again with the old cables.xml

 

hi guys have dbox in cork for 6 months now.about 2 months ago i lost half my channels (rt# 1,s## spo##s etc).think i have sportster image,
any ideas. cheers, + keep up the good work.

 

Well setanta 1 & setanta golf are now gone for me- ntl dublin.
As I said earlier they can now be found where sky movies 9 & 10 once were. Anybody using my services or images should still have them up around the 140 channel area. They can be moved back down to where you want.

Otherwise you would have to rescan, all my scans have ended up with jumpy channels lately so backup your image. You can do this without using a PC, you can backup to the tmp folder and make sure you do not reboot/turn off. Then if you channels go jumpy you can load back your old image, with no need for a PC.

A kids channel Jetix seems to be gone too, and a rescan will get people the new music channel- bubble hits.

 

Sorry mate I've looked all around for a guide to backing up ( and reloading)an image without a PC and cant find it. Any chance you could point me in the right direction? cheers

 

Depends on what image you have, but basically you go to the service menu, and into the "update/backup image" option, or similarly named one. Then you want to write image without bootloader. This takes about 10 seconds and will come up with a message saying "backup saved to /tmp/mtd3.img" or something similar. Now if the unit is turned off or rebooted this will be lost.

Now you can scan, if the channels are all jumpy you could try different scan options. But if you have no luck you go back into the service menu and now you are loading on the image without bootloader, when you select it mtd3.img will be there to be selected.

If you are updating via FTP you usually dump it in the tmp folder and you can see on the TV the name of the image you just stuck into the tmp folder. Again if rebooted this is deleted.

 

Using your blade, if i press dbox>settings >software update> expert functions> i get a choice "write whole image" am I in the right place?

 

Simply check your services.xml. The most frequencies in your cables.xml are 250 khz away from the real ones and that give you jumpy channels after a scan.

 

can anyone help me.i have commando 7.5 on my dbox but the channels have gone off. tried rescaning them but with only a black screen. do i have to put another image on the d.box this one is only bout 4 months old surely it should still work dont you think ?
