    Flash a UK modded image and use the latest irish cables.xml for scanning.
    If you get the box running backup the image and flash it via nullmodem cable only to the other box with faulty network device.

    Hi thanks a million for the help so far i found commando 6 and managed to flash it but only getting 90 channels on the scan and found some services files dont know how recent but cant get them to the box as it says network inactive since i flashed the new image does any oun know if this can be fixed through the menus or does using a nullmodem get around it and do i still use windows xp ftp with the nullmodem?

    once again thanks for all the help so far at least i have 88 more channels than yesterday!!

    yeah i tried that but it only 50 channels so i presume i need the latest services files but dont know how to get them on to the box with network inactive whether i still use ftp or not as i dont have command centre or flash assistant nor have i used them.

    Thanks a million!

    The location setting is senseless for Dublin.
    Go to the network menue on the box and set the IP to your needs. Connect box and PC via a crossover network cable.
    Upload the irish cables.xml to /var/tuxbox/config, delete the file scan.conf in the same folder and pull the plug.

    hi guys thanks for all the help so far but this is driving me crazy for some reason the network is active again so i did what you said mgb and deleted the file scan config and pulled the plug but now bruteforce is gone and the other two and it says Kabel Deutschland and when i scan it just stops immediately saying scan finished sucessfully with no channels just like when the fast scan is on stupidely i did not coy the scan config before i deleted it so now i dont know what to do i thought i was almost there!

    You have to move the highlighted bar to the provider line and choose with the ok button the provider you want.
    The cables.xml goes to /var/tuxbox/config.
    In some images the cables.xml goes to /share/tuxbox. You have to go one step higher in your ftp programm to see the share folder.

    hi guys many thanks for all the help i reflashed commando6 to replace the scan.config file and rembered reading somewhere to but service files in the zapit folder and bingo so both boxes are up and running now with 138 channels i think this is the max i can get so happy days unless anyone thinks i should have more then any sugestions would be greatly apprecieted. Also does anyone know much about satelite dboxes which are the best and can many channels be picked up or are they restricted to free to air channels?

    Can somebody please help a newbie to all this.
    When scanning I only seem to pick up 57 TV channels in the Dublin area from 88 transponders, the fast scan is Off.
    I am using a Nokia dbox2 with Commando 7, CableUK 6887 and the location is set to Dublin.
    I have also noticed that the "time" is 1 hour behind.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks.

    it has been configured for uk tv
    -debug mode
    -sportstar 1.1 uk version image
    -uk settings bruteforcescan, linux inside
    i was told it was plug and play but i didnt receive any channels. do i need a different image. i dont have a clue! also iv read that i might need local settings for my area, how do i get these and how do i put them on the dbox. is bruteforcescan just the normal scan when u plug it in?
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
