dbox2 please help, no channels found

I have a Sagem dbox2 with Neutrino image. Until recently I was receiving all channels but I have now lost my film,sport & adult channels.
Ihave carried out a service scan but this has not retrieved the channels. I still get the display with channel name & EPG but no sound or picture. A friend of mine had a similar problem with his Eurobox but he was directed to a site where he downloaded. Any body out there with any solutions. My apologies if this is posted on the wrong site but this is the first time i as a novice have ever tried to post a message

 

Hi Benifa - downloaded the sportster file onto my pc via your link - sorry to be a retard but how do I now reflash the DBox? - thanks.

 

First of all extract the image from the .exe (so that you have the file ending .img)..

Next, you can either FTP the image to the box, or use IFA. The latter may be easier as there are less settings to configure..

Zappp64 has a good guide as well as the IFA program for d/l..

OK, I'm very new to dboxes and heres my problem, I recently purchased a dbox2 from ebay and it came with sporster image and all the channel lists preloaded, however they weren't working when i first plugged it in, so i did a re-scan and cut the number of channels in half, for some reason i'm getting about 20 bbc one's, 20 itv's and about 3 non terrestrial channels i.e. sky sports xtra. Now does anyone know how i can restore it to the way it arrived(with pre installed channels such as sky sports etc.) without flashing it, as i have no null modem port on my laptop to be able to flash it!!

thanks

 

P.S. I live in Loughborough Nr Leciester if that helps

 

Go into your SERVICE menu then CHANNEL SCAN, try BRUTEFORCE, fast scan OFF, BOUQUETS = REPLACE (or similar), SCAN.

 

Trying that method now, hope it works, though I've tried loads of different ways and they don't seem to be working, cheers for the tip will let you know.

 

I'm trying to sort a few problems myself, but I believe that if you switch the box off from the mains, disconnect it, re-connect, switch on and leave it running on a Sky movie channel, it will take say 20 minutes or so to tune in, but will download all available channels. then save those you want into 'Bouquets' (ie movies/sports/discovery etc).

good luck - these boxes sure ain't 'plug 'n play' as our ebay friends would have us believe!

 

LOL yeah i know, thing is with mine, is that ive lost all the premium channels during the rescan, all i had was sky sports xtra, sky cinema 1 and 2, no other premium channel was coming up in the EPG.

 

Hey Fekker, tried your way, somehow lost more channels lol. Any ideas?

Cheers

 

You could try & FTP into the VAR/CONFIG/ZAPPIT folder and delete MYSERVICES.XML, that should bring them back. To find out how to FTP see one of ZAPPP64's posts for the link to his site.

 

I'm pretty certain that i need either the services.xml for my area or the boquets.xml for my area so that i have the correct channel listings in the epg right?

 

Yes that's correct. I never scan for channels I just FTP the dervices & bouquets files to my ZAPPIT folder & channels are there after a reboot.

No, sorry..

But it can be converted to 1x using imagecloner..
