    Hi Guys,

    I've been away from the Dbox thing for a while cos my Dbox has just sat there doing what it does for 3 years. Just moved house and signed up with Virgin Media (in Reading UK).

    Has anything changed? I take the sat cable from Virgins box and put it in to the Dbox, hit scan, but there are only the channels which are on the Virgin box available? Should I be flashing with a new image? What's the latest version? Anyone help? That'll teach me for not keeping my eye on the ball!

    I also read somewhere that I may have to change my location on the Dbox?!!?

    OK, an update from me..... Because there were so many responses!!! LOL! ;)

    I got hold of the Virgin+ v2.1 2x Nokia fta image and flashed it across. I then set my location and did a slow scan for channels.

    But!!!!.... I still only get the channels which were available with my standard Virgin box????

    Should there be more?

    Anyone?......... please!!!

    Thanks Solo, have tried both of those images this evening, but still only get the same bunch of channels.

    Anyone else have any ideas?

    What kind of scan are you doing pal ? Full scan or a fast scan ... Why i ask is when i try and do a fast scan i only ever g et a few channels, and when i do a full scan i tend to pick the rest up.

    It's a full slow scan. if I do a fast scan I get nothing.

    It does bring back a possible 300 odd channels, but most of them just say something like waiting for EMG (or whatever the three letters are?!!) I have waiting for them to catch up, but still only get the channels which the Virgin box would give out.
