Nokia Dbox2

hi all
could someone please post a dummies guide to flash an image with IFA and x over cable, i've read every post in this thread 2 or 3 times and keep getting mixed up with IFA, FTP etc. i've tried to flash but firstly the IFA wouldn't let me because it said my connection was already in use, which i'm not sure how to remedy as it's not connected to anything else. i set up a separate network connection and got the go ahead form the IFA to start the flash, plugged my box in and no joy.
any ideas greatly appreciated.

 

Ive got the blade 2.2 on just now but could put on pretty much anything. Whichever is easiest sounds like a good bet lol.
I am getting a signal as I'm on the net with my cable modem and have another nokia dbox which works fine.
Area is Dundee.
I only get the channel name and thats it, still says waiting for time and its been left on all night on s*y sports.

 

I've got a satellite version of a DBOX2 and initially had major problems trying to get the box to talk to my PC so that I could FTP stuff, flash images etc.

Finally got there though with more than a little help from posts on this forum. You just need a little patience, follow the connectivity requirements and instructions, and it will work!

My problem now is that I can only see free2air channels!

When I do a scan on the box I seem to get a lot of Hotbird channels but not many Astra ones. Does anyone have any service or bouquet xml files that I can upload that will give me more?

I also read that I will need keys/cams (??) to be able to see more channels. If this is correct then if anyone can also help with these it would be much appreciated.

Hi, Im new to this forum and have read through most of the pages on this topic and dont think I can find a solution to my problem!

Basically I have the Nokia dbox 2, got it from germany and its been workin fine for last few months then someone messed around with the remote and I have all the stations but no picture??

I hav tried to re-scan it a few times and I can still get all the stations that I had before but no picture for each one!!!

I dont know where to start or what else it might be, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!!

 

can someone tell me what improvements commando 8 offers over and above commando 5??
thanks

 

Commando 8 is the best image have ever used mate
Picture is sharp
It has net id scanning
Just a good all rounder
You will have to add the keys to this image your self.....Paul

 

If you get the channels and epg sounds like you just need to restart your cam mate
Wot image is it your useing ...............Paul

 

its been said many times, SLY on satellite is not hackable

 

Please can anyone help?
I have a dbox 2 that works fine but my mate bought one on my recommendation that just will not find any channels.
I've tried slow scanning with the following display info

Scan for services - all services
Bouquet - leave current
Provider - brute force for UK
Fast scan - off
Background scan - on

During the scan the display reads

Cable - bruteforce for UK
Transponders - 1/303
Frequency - 39450000 etc

Provider - nothing showing here during scan
Channel - nothing showing here either
(I'm sure when I did the scan on my box there was some info showing in the above)

He is running Commando 6 and when the box is started up it does not show any image info although it does display the Commando pic.
Could this be a faulty image or is there something not set up correctly?

 

On commando 6
Push blue button on remote and set your location
Via net id setting
Scroll to your location push ok
Box will reboot and be ready to scan
just make sure both Sym rates are correct for your SP ..........Paul

 

Thanks Paul - I've tried both locations for this area (there are 2)
and still no joy.
What are the sym rates?

 

If your previous service provider was NT hell=6887
Tell*est=6952

 

Ok thanks Paul I've checked that and all is correct for previous sp but still not finding any channels I'm at a loss as to what to do next

 

Post your scan settings
Wot area are you in ...........paul

 

cheers paul......where might i find these keys mate?

 

Ok, I've discovered the reason why it's not detecting any channels. I carried out another scan and moved the cable/input socket on the back of the box while it was scanning and it carried out a sucessful scan (some of the channels are missing) ie Sky Sports 1 and the Sky movie channels but the rest have loaded.
Thanks for your responses Paul
Location is Cheltenham by the way - thanks again

 

Have you got epg for the missing channels ............Paul

 

No epg for Sky Sports 1 and this channel has still not loaded but some of the missing channels have loaded via a background scan this evening however although they have epg they are still saying 'Error channel not available'.
I began with an initial 185 channels but it's up to 302 now so fingers crossed it will detect most or all before the night's out!

 

If you have channels with epg ,and black screen
You need to restart your cam
Not sure on comm 6
Try blue button
Look for cams
And restart cam
Or change it to a differant one
Make a note of how its set up first.........Paul
