    Remove all splitters and do a scan.
    If you get more channels the signal strength is too weak after the splitters and you need a booster at the dbox line if you want to use your splitters.

    Hi all,

    I'm completely new here, and am looking at buying a dbox2, I've been reading a lot of the stuff on here, and really just want to check some of the simple things before I take the plunge.

    I've seen a Sagem box on an auction site, that has Linux Team Commando 6 on. It says it is compatible with all UK Cable networks, it is in debug mode, and it is set up in English, even has some pics of the menus to show how it looks.

    First thing I want to know tho is:- if i buy this will it really be as simple as it says, and just plug it in, scan and enjoy....

    Secondly :- How am i best connecting it, I currently have a telewest box, am I best connecting though this with a splitter, or through my telewest broadband modem?

    Thirdly:- What exactly do I need to set it up, other than the box, with power lead and remote. I assume i nead a coax cable to go from either modem or current cable box, and a splitter, anything else?

    Thanks a lot for any help, anyone can offer, please if you can try to avoid to much technical jargon, although I am quite good with computers and things, I am not well up on technical terms for this kind of thing.

    One final thing, do the images that are on the box last forever, or will it need updating, the listing says that - "No cards are required with this box! When the channels are rescrambled by the cable provider, the box can simply update itself" - is this true?

    Or at some point will i need to connect it to my computer and flash it, or whatever the term is, as per the guides on here.

    Thanks a gain, help much appreciated, sorry if a lot of this has been covered.

    Andrew

    Hi,

    I posted a message on this forum last nite but it isnt here today - I wonder why.

    Anyway, Im trying to find the service and bouquet files for Dublin. Im have a Nokia Box and I am on NTL. Ive tried some of teh links here like Benifas but they dont seem to be working anymore. Can someone please post these files for me or tell me where I can find them - I have tried searching in Google too but to no avail.

    Please help.

    Thanks
    Iba

    Does anyone know if it's ok to connect the cable (telewest) box and the dbox to the same line (using a splitter). The reason I want to do this is because I can't afford another dbox and I'll be able to use the original cable box in my bedroom as I'll be buying the minimum channel package from telewest (virgin). Also can they tell if my original box is connected? Do they call the box up or something to see if I am using it or not just in case I don't want to use the original telewest box in the future.

    Thanks in advance guys and girls.

    Also wanted to add is if it's possible to use them both at the same time to watch different channels. Would they be able to tell then?

    Thanks again.
