    soulja, you've got to change the 'Load SPTS at boot' to OFF. it's in the 'miscellaneous' menu (or yellow button from main d-box menu). i had the same problem when i started messing about with my box trying to get it to record onto my pc. i now have to do this to mine every time i reset the box, because for some reason i can't save my settings, even for sound and video. i am wanting to put a more recent software on as we are loosing a few of the channels as well as not being able to save, but am slightly worried that it might go wrong and we loose everything. am i just being a puppy??? what's the safest way to go about it? thanks in advance

    Hi, I hope this message hasn't already been answered in this thread... I've read as much as I could before my head began to hurt!

    I was just wondering...

    I have a Virgin broadband service but no TV package. If I hooked up a D Box, would I be able to recieve the channels or do I have to have at least a basic TV subscription.

    Thanks in advance;

    Gaz

    hi gaz...
    as long as you recieve ANY data down the line (net OR tv)
    you will be able to connect a dbox.
    you will recieve channels...and u dont need tv subscription.
    just simply get a cable splitter and split your broadband feed into 2.
    as long as u live in a good signal area..u will be fine
    cheers
    chris

    I got some balls and flashed my box with commando 7.5. Set my location and did a scan. It found all the channels i had before and a few more that i'd lost (filmfour, e4, etc.). Although all the channels were found and all the epg info is displayed, we can't watch all of them (bravo, skysports, etc.). What's going on?
    Thanks again

    I have followed the instructions that I found on this site and have no problems accessing the /tmp directory on my dBox however the sportster and the commando_6 images that I have are 8,257 bytes and the xfer always bums out after 7,512 bytes has been xfered.

    My guess is that there is not enough memory in the dBox ?? What can I do to free some up? What can I do at all?

    The box has DigitalWorldZ-PRO 2.0 loaded but I am having no joy with NTL/Virgin

    Any help at all will be gratefully received

    The problem is probably because Commando 7.5 doesn't come with any keys, so you will only get FTA channels... You need some keys - if this is the problem

    If my memory serves me right, 7512 b is the right size when viewed on Linux - when you say "bums out" what exactly do you mean?

    Different problem now. I have managed to scan with DigitalWorldZ 2.0 found all the channels but I can only view the free ones there is a legend on the screen below the channel identity bar showing several icons. key - 16:9 - Dolby - Subtitles (i think)

    Every channel besides the free ones has the key icon highlighted and whilst I can get the channel info I get no sound or picture, is there anything I can do to unlock the channels
