    I checked my pace box last night and found it was using exactly the same frequencies as my old services file. I changed back and had BER 0 on all channels I tried. I created NTL DUB FAST in my cables file that scans only these frequencies.

    It froze this morning on TV3 though. Never gave trouble on the encrytped channels, not even a 1 second blackout stall. Blade only ever freezes on FTA channels for me.

    I tried sportser with gbox but couldnt get it to work, put keys on and it worked on evocam and mgcam, but not gbox.

    I will be uploading blade trinity V2 for 1x and 2x, and my services/cables/bouquet today and will post the link.

    (Nokia dbox2 freezing Chorus area)
    Hi all, have been using the the dbox2 without any problems for a while now, past few days channels are freezing and sometimes no channels,using sportster 1.7 from benifa and all went fine,did a reflash and updated to irish cables 9 but problem remains,have no clue of cams/keys yet so any help welcome, also romote has lost the volume(nothing happens it scrolls up and down but volume never changes)not a big deal really.
    I do have true cable as one room does have a cable box so signal should be fine,but other room with dbox2 is freezing now an again,any suggestions welcome.

    I would give commando 8.2 a go. Sporster 1.7 is stable but has no virtual zap or teletext. I should be posting up an updated verion of 8.2 soon enough, with my new cables, and keys. It is on my mates nokia now and is stable.

    For the volume, go to dbox- settings- audio,
    now down the bottom there are various settings, something like OST AVS, just select one and see if the volume works, it should work instantly, i.e. no need to reboot. Then save changes

    It is rare enough, unless it happens to be an Irish lad selling, or a UK guy who put on software that happens to scan correctly.

    I posted the very latest blade up there blade trinity Version 2. The 2x comes with all the dublin setups. Dunno what fekkers 1x is like, I didnt want to double post the image, I have the dublin 1x too if you do not know how to FTP my services/cables/bouquet across.

    On blade the cables goes into /shared/tuxbox
    Or something similar to that maybe share/tux

    You will find it, there will be a cables.xml in there already

    Thanks for the reply dc69, i googled "eurovox max" and it's from the same company that make "Starview" but is the "eurovox max" a better box? and for £115 (€170) including shipping will there be no need to update the system from time to time?

    Check the eurovox max topics before you decide mate,you may have to update the firmware from time to time but you would have to do that with all the boxs.
