    Hi. I have looked through a lot of the guides, but cannot get an obvious answer to my question.

    My Dbox2 has just arrived, which I purchased from a German EBay site (http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150133295077&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=005). It is in DEBUG mode and it comes with UK Neutrino Image pre-installed. The seller has told me that it has "Sportster Pro 1.08 rc007 2x" already installed.

    I live in Dublin 14. My cable provider is N*L. I connected the SCART to the TV, booted up the box. The box appears to boot up fine. Then, I went to the 'Service Scan' menu option, selected 'Scan for Services -> All', 'Bouquet' -> 'Update', 'Cable Provider' -> tried all 3 available, 'Fast Scan' -> 'On', then selected 'Start Scan'

    The 3 'Cable Provider' options available were BruteForceUK, 6887 and another one (cant remember).

    The system spent about 15 seconds scanning (on all 3 I tried), and then a message appeared along the lines 'Finished scanning Transponder', but no channels have been added/updated, and the original list of channels that came with the box still appears (AND NO NEW CHANNELS) and do not work.

    What do you suggest that I do? Someone suggested that before I run my scan - hit the blue button on the remote and set my location. I will be home later on this evening to try this, but thought I would check with you in advance to see if I am on the right track.

    I am aware that there are cables.xml and services.xml and bouqets.xml files available for different areas. Should I get these, or is it possible, and better advised to generate these automatically first time round? It is this part that I am very unclear about. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to connect it to my computer (Mac) to get it up and running initially.

    Also, I notice that my Apple Macbook Pro does not have an RS-232 port for my null modem cable, but I do have a ethernet port for use with my crossover ethernet cable.

    Regards,
    BennyG

    Paul you are the man. Give thanks to your genius understanding of the dbox all seems fine now. But why did it mess up in the first place? Thanks again.

    Hi
    I have recently purchased Nokia dbox2 and when I tried to go to the Service menu, it asked me for a 4 digit password! The same also happened when I went to Child Lock menu. Not sure if this is realted to the image (Pacino) that is already on the dbox. Please help!
