Nokia Dbox2

Ello ladies and gents....

I got a working DBOX which iv had working in a different area of the country on telewest for the last 6 months, just moved upto the midlands, (Coventry/Nuneaton) and would like to see if anyone has the Service and Bouquet files for this area, iv already tried a scan over my NTL line and found a load of channels, but not a lot really, non of the movie channels came up (apart from cinema, Boring).... any assistance much appreciated !

 

Help please...

i have succesfully re flashed my dbox with camando 6 2xl and then put the 2 xml files on, ( i followed the instructions very carefully) but when its all finished the box goes to a channel just says waiting for time waits a few secounds then just says error channel unavailible any sugestions or have i just been a complete plank and bought a duff dbox

 

ive been a complete tit, as per my previous message my channels werent working i tried a different img file i dl from internet called Sportster-Pro_1.05_rc042_08092006_1947_S_2xI.img
it half rebooted the box and then the box has DIED!! have a blank screen with flashing curser in top left and some other crap on the lcd screen cannot ftp into box anymore as ip has probably changed. any help ???

 

Hi all, can anybody help?
my dbox to works fine for 10 minutes
then it goes off any ideas why it would go off
error channel not available
it freazes up before it goes off

 

You need a program called Image flashing assistant. Connect a null moden cable and a network cable to the box and flash the commando image. When the box reboots push the blue button and a menu should pop up. You should be able to set your region from their. Follow the instructions boot the box again and do a scan. You should have all your channels

 

null cable is not absolutely nessacry


and theres no need to flash it again all hes done is copied the services.xml over what wasnt made for his box as someone who hasnt got a clue keeps telling people to do it dont see why as no-one box is in the same location

 

you are right null modem cable is not necessary but its quicker to flash image with it. I think sometimes its better to reflash and start again especially if people don't know exactly what they are doing.

 

It's quicker to just put the image in the temp directory and flash that way

You dont need a null modem cable or IFA to flash

 

Just received my Dbox2 from Germany (UK image Sportster)..
Done a service scan, seem to have all the channels, so I've saved the service.xml and bouquet.xml on my PC for safekeeping..
Is there a program I can use to edit the bouquet.xml so as to re-organise the order in which channels are listed, and secondly, to delete channels that I don't want, such as adult channels?..

 

This advice was originally meant for bhav69 who put an old image on his box by ftp method but cannot get anything on his tv now as his box seems to freeze, he cant use ftp anymore.

 

One more question..
Dbox2 connected to router as is xbox which contains 160gb HD and xbmc etc.. Can I (a) record tv from dbox2 to xbox HD, and (b) play video files on xbox through dbox2?

Thanks

 

bhav69 have you sorted your box out yet.

 

hi no the box is knackered i reflashed a wrong sportser img but i think it was a dodgy file and has stopped the box working it jus starts up then comes up with the flashing curser and nothging happens, and there is somem other information on the lcd screen, i do have the correct sportser img NOW but cant flash it onto dbox cos the network ip will have changed due to the wrong image being flashed i do not have the ip address of the box to use the image flashing assistant anymore,do you know how i can find out the ip of the box ? i am able to get windows to do a search for the dbox?

 

You dont need the IP, you'll have flashed a 2x image on a 1x box or visa versa so there's no image on the box anymore, just use IFA to flash the right image and it will flash eventually.

 

As tossapot says you dont need the IP address of the box with Image Flashing Assistant only if you use ftp program.

 

If you managed to save the files to your pc then I assume you are networked to the dbox. In that case just go into internet explorer and type in the IP of the dbox ..192.168.1.xxx whatever yours may be

You'll get a web page with, amongst other things a bouquet editor. Easier to create and edit in this and can be uploaded from it too.

 

I have a Nokia Dbox 2 with TuxBox and a feed from telewest. Until a few days ago I was able to watch all channels. Now I can only watch very few and mostly only free to view ones. I have tried doing a service scan and get all the channels but most cannot be viewed.

The only common thing I have found is the "N" symbol in the info bar (when using the up-down arrow buttons to flip through the channels) is on for channels I cannot view.

Can anyone please tell me what this symbol means and how to fix the problem.

 

Hi Andy I don`t know if this will help you but here goes. I had the very same problem as you,losing channels and even after doing a rescan and only finding a total of 7 channels, I was thinking that the dbox might have gone down after only having it for about 3 weeks. I asked a mate who flashed the image and rescanned and all was well again but only overnight when a lot of the channels started to disapear again. Anyway I have coupled the dbox via scart through my yamada dvt 3000 pvr and when I watch the dbox through the pvr everthing seems to reappear and even seems to work faster ie. changing channels and what have you. You could maybe try this method and see if it helps. Finally does anyone know how I can record from my dbox onto the pvr as everthing I try seems to fail, the scart input on the pvr is in/out so it should pick up the dbox but I`m no techie so I am struggling. Good luck Andy and to everyone out there ALL THE BEST and keep this forum going as its a beauty

 

does anyone know where i can dl services and bouquet xml files for the east midlands region ?
