    i have recently purchased a nokia d box2 from germany.scanned in channels but 95%of channels have a yellow key in bottom right corner which presumably means channels are locked.please help me unlock these channels as i can only watch limited channels(no premium channels)

    what image are you running

    try this, go to Sky Sports and leave it on for 5 minutes, the encryption key should auto update.

    you may have to refash with a more recent image or change the EMU you are running.

    your EMU or UCode may need chaging

    for EMU using remote

    blue --> blue --> EMU Selection --> Select the EMU and press OK to restart. Leave a few secs and see if the other channels are there.

    for UCode

    blue --> blue--> System menu --> Hardware Settings --> Ucode Selection and select a different UCode

    you will have to rsetart the DBox for changes to come into effect.

    is your dbox networked or can you access it via your computer - as you will need to do this in order to apply the image.

    give it a few minutes.. do you want to flash via the box or via software on your PC - all depends on how comfortable you are

    before we flash want to try one thing..

    i will email you a services file - and see if we can pick up channels that way, if not we will flash a new image.

    i will email your the cable.xml file - copy it over and do a brute force scan with fast scan off

    I've got a dbox 2 and for some reason I cannot view any box office channels. The message is coming up as Error - Channel Not Available.

    Can anyone help me please.

    Hi Guys,

    Can someone confirm something for me...

    I'm only getting FTA channels on my new box - is "unlocking" non-fta channels purely down to UCodes etc, or are keys needed?

    Also (may be being thick here), is it possible to get an internet browser for my DBox2 so I can surf on it?
