please help the new dude!!!!!

Get a nokia dbox2, in debug mode, (nokias are more stable than sagems)
and if you care about cosmetics get one with no LCD stripes, with front cover.

It will probably need software loaded onto it, so would need a cat 5 crossover cable.

If you have doubts then post the link to the proposed ebay auction you are thinking of buying from

I have written a guide buying from ebay here

Thanks alot mate. I was onto Fantastic-offers this morning, told him i was on a major forum site and came across guys in the know that were not to pleased with some of there own purchases from him.Also told him i was thinking of leaving crap feedback, What do you know E-mail just arrived full refund. excellent. Is there anyone on Ebay you guys buy from or could recommend?

 

Well others have bought from him and got them fine. I just dont like his dubious ads for the dbox 1's. But I have bid on his stuff before, only noticed now.

You gave him 470 for 5, that is well below the going rate for dbox2's. I would expect 3 fully working nokia dbox2s for that price. He has shit loads of them so I would ask if you can return the 5 for 3 dbox2's that way you get what you want and he still gets a sale, and ebay do not get their money grabbing mits on more money.

Tell him if they arrive and are good you will post it on the forums. I have no doubt he is reading this thread anyway!

 

guys can anyone tell me how does the box work with sky and chorus, how do i find out the freq and symb rates? if antone could help me out with them my mail is richardmgriff34@hotmail.com Thanks!

 

Which box, DBox1 or DBox2?

 

Does the D-Box2 work for Sky Digital? If so is it difficult to set-up?

 

Sky via satellite is not hacked.

 

hi MGB17,
The d-box 2. recieved one the other day. I want to give it to my father but he is on the chorus network.What info will i need to tune in and where can it be found?

 

Are you sure your fathers feed is connected to a true cable network.
Chorus mmds is not functional with a dbox.

 

He is connected to the chorus digital service. Tried using my sagem dbox2 while he was out but didnt have correct freq or symb so it was pointless really.

 

Upload the irish cables.xml to /var/tuxbox/config at a sportster image and delete the file scan.conf in the same folder. Unplug, wait a little bit and replug. Select chorus cable at the provider line in the scan menue.
At some UK based images the cables.xml goes to /share/tuxbox.

guys i am on the service scan page on the dbox2. the cable provider is german how do i change this to cableuk its not giving me the option just german stuff. cant get into change the feq and symb how do i sort this out? thanks grif

 

A friend told me i have to flash the box with the Uk sportser image instead of the german. Is this right? if so where can i get it?

 

If you used the irish cables.xml you have to delete scan.conf in the /var/tuxbox/config folder and unplug the box.
At some UK based images the new cables.xml goes to /share/tuxbox.
If you ftp to the box you are landing in the var folder.

 

guys is there anyplace i could take four boxes and get them flashed with a uk image. Dont want to try it myself, i have no real experience with this. If any of you guys could help i live in dublin and will travel too you and we can agree a price. no probs. Please help. i want to give them to the folks as presents.

 

Maximum penalty for selling illicit devices is 12 month prison in Ireland.
A box ready configured with autoupdate keys is a illicit device.
The whole thing is not a kindergarten game.
