    Hi coady007
    Mine is a 1 chip so cant send you my image but if you check out the "Dbox in Ireland" thread there is a link in there for the 2x version of commando 6 plus the newbies guide to flashing a new image.Have a good read of it and then try and ftp the image into the box its the easiest way in my opinion.Then give me a shout if you still have the same problem.
    Cheers wiz.

    Hi coady007

    The way i got everything working on mine was selecting my location from the menu (dbox/settings) or blue button/setmylocation and then doing a fast scan,wouldnt work on slow scan.I dont think your location is in there if not you need to set your netid,freq and 6887 but make sure you do a fast scan and see what happens.

    Hi coady
    Unplug n*l box from wall then press and hold the up and down channel buttons together on the box,then plug box back in keep buttons pressed until engineers menu comes up the info should be on the first screen.

    Hi Wiz569,


    Put the box where my N*L box was and done a scan and found 22 channels. Now scanning using the net id and freq. Was originally using old analogue cable line which i was advised to use for signal strength purposes, will let you know how i get on.

    Hi Wiz,

    Getting nothing on fast scan, only 22 channels on full scan. Trying uk bruteforce full scan now. The analogue feed is N*L as i have moved the N*L box to this cable and it works fine. Think I'll call it a day so i don't go around the twist and give it a go again later on. Thanks for the help.

    Coady

    Hi coady

    No probs if you need any more help just let me know,could be a number of things.What eventually sorted it for me was reflashing the same image setting the freq,netid and symbol 6887,fast scan,bouquet=create new.Just a thought i am sure you already done this but did you save the scan settings before you scanned otherwise they revert to default.

    cheers
