    As MGB says, you cannot get S** without a subscription. A Sat box with a Gemini or Neutrino image on it will not work on a Sky dish. You can get Sat boxes and presumably you can decode the encrypted channels on other Sat providers. I have not done that myself but I am sure someone on here can shed more light on this for you. Hope this helps...

    Hi, can anyone help me out here? I've got a Nokia Dbox 2 I'm living in Kilcock in Co. Kildare and currently have Chorus digital as a provider. I tried hooking up my box and scanning but it's not finding the service provider or any channels. Does the Dbox2 work on chorus? Do I need to load any software on it? Does anyone have any trouble shooting documents out there?

    Are you MMDS or cable ???? If you are MMDS, the DBox will not work !!!! If you are cable, you will need to load a cables file for Ireland so that you can scan.... Search this forum for the file...

    I too am in Galway but am not experiencing any major issues with it. It does freeze every now and again but its rare.

    I have Nokia with Sportster 1.7



    Does anyone know what Setanta channels are available in the Galway reigon?? If more than 3, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to go about getting the full list?

    Cheers Mossyd,
    Setanta 1,2 Irl, golf, nasn are available along with the celtics etc.if setanta 1 and golf are missing its because nthell moved them to the old sly movies 9 and 10. do a rescan and they should show up as the last channels.

    check the box from Ch***and see if it says anything on the back about MMDS.Yes, you ftp to the box and place the cables.xml file in var/share or var/tuxbox/config. delete the scan config file there also,reboot the box and you should have the option to scan ch****

    Hi guys. I have my Dbox2 working perfectly now on Blade (thanks Ruprect etc). As I mentioned previously, I bought a new lcd tv (samsung LE32S81) but the signal seems very poor on most channels. I was wondering if it might be a scart problem? I am using the scart that I got when I had my NT£ digital. there is no menu on my tv to change the settings as suggested earlier. Would one of those gold plated scarts improve it at all? I am also using a signal booster I purchased in Argos.

    Thanks again. You're all doing a great job here by the way :)

    hi folks.

    have been looking into getting a box for chorus in meath area...anyone have any experience with the dreambox 500c or should i just stick with the dbox 2? They are both around the same price on ebay. Also, is there much difference between the Nokia and the Sagem?

    Thanks for your help,

    Kev
