Thinking about buying a d box 2

I heard that the keys are from the one previous to yours, they have gone back a step to previous keys instead of new ones. If you could find those and try you might be lucky.

 

god help me im giving up for tonight if you have any new ideas or get any new info pleeeeease keep me posted. i know its sad but im lost without all my channels now im used having them cheers for your help

 

I got my new starbox yesterday and it worked fine till this morning. The seller told me tonight that ALL STARVIEW BOXES IN THE UK crashed this morning at 10am. He sent me a small file, I connected my box to the PC, inserted the disc, uploaded the file, and it all works again.

 

Hi there,
Are you prepared to share the file you got skywatchr? Would be great to try it out on mine!

 

im in the same boat anyone know the code and how to get a lead and instructions on how to do it

 

would a printer cable work to connect box to pc

 

not a printer cable is parallel to centronics where as what you need is a null modem/serial cable.

 

cheers zapp,know where i can get hold of one like

 

All you people who have a cable and software, use the link posted by fekker. It works!! CHEERS!!!

 

Hello. Just joined the forums.

I've read through pretty much the whole thread, and initially had quite a few questions (I'm about to buy a Nokia DBox2). Having done quite a bit of reading, most of them have been answered.

One thing that I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on yet tho is the PPV thing.

I've seen quite a few people asking whether you can get the PPV events (fights, prem plus etc) and I've seen one person answer "no, you can't" but I noticed someone else ask, in this thread, "didn't you get the fight last weekend?"

Could someone shed a bit of light on this for me please. I want to know if the PPV events such as the boxing and prem plus matches are under the same restrictions as the front row/on demand movies.

Cheers.

 

Sorry, I missed out one more thing. Another thing I'm a bit sketchy about is the recording facility on the dbox2. I believe you can record direct from the tv to it, but you need a hard drive attached. I haven't seen these anywhere on ebay, and I can't find them anywhere else either (unless Im looking for the wrong thing). Anyone got any pointers?

Thanks again.

 

to answer your question

yes you get the ppv stuff like prem plus and wwe westling, however you cant get sky box office

for the pvr go to http://netwave.redirectme.net/dbox/pvr for more information

 

You can also fit a hard drive to the DBox. I ordered one from the link below which costs about €75. Delivery is 6 weeks from Germany.

Hi, just posted a smimilar message on another thread but if your box is still down message me with your email address and I'll send the info. straight back to you. It's very easy to fix. There must be a private message thingy on this board 'cos I just got one from someone. (I don't want to put my email address on the board.) You'll need the disc and the box to PC cable you got with your box.

 

Which message are you talking about? The Starview? If it is then the fix is already on here.

 

Hi, I haven't seen it on here, just the advice to get the box working in the first place. I also spotted the one you have to pay for but if it's already on here then that's fine. Just trying to help.

 

whereever i go cant get no joy,cant open any bin files and got no lead until it comes guess i'm shafted lol

 

my box still aint workin i obviously need to connect it to my pc and update it only problem is i aint got the disc or the lead to do it any1 got any ideas how i can get hold of them????

 

im in the same boat paul no lead no software,up a creek without a paddle springs to mind,seen some leads on ebay but not sure where to get the software

 

You need an RS-232 serial cable. Any decent pc shop should stock them. If not try your local pc world. Then follow the link on this thread. You will find all software you need including instructions on how to do it. Its very easy if you TAKE YOUR TIME!!
