Adding Sky Box Office Sports using Tuxbox Commander

**Devilfish** · 14th February, 2008, 10:02 PM

First of all, do this...

MENU
SETUP
SYSTEM SETTINGS
OSD SETTINGS
TUXTEXT POSITION (YELLOW)

Position the two right angles at the top left and bottom right corners of your tv. Doesn't need to be perfect, probably better if you bring them in a bit and not exactly on the edge.

OK when done
Green to save or highlight Save and press OK

Exit out the menus and return to Tuxbox Commander.

Now...follow these instruction. It will take a while but should work.

You need to use the remote to do everything. When you're adding characters it will be like texting on your mobile phone. Press '7' 4 times to get an 'S', etc etc.

Scroll down to var and press ok
Scroll down to tuxbox and press ok
Scroll down to config and press ok
Scroll down to enigma and press ok
Scroll down to cable and press ok

You should have a list of userbouquet files with numbers and letters after them. You need to find the Sports bouquet. On my box, it was called userbouquet.d7d3e4.tv. Highlight the file and press '4' to edit. You can see at the bottom of the screen it tells you what each button on the remote does.

At the top of the file it will say what each bouquet is called.

For example, my Sports bouquet is called 'Sport' so at the top of my file it says...

#NAME Sport

Ok so far? Good.

So you've found the sports bouquet and you see a load of lines that start...

#SERVICE: 1:0:1: bla bla bla

These are the individual channels in your sports bouquet.

Highlight the line directly under the #NAME Sport line and press GREEN twice. This should create two empty lines at the top of your page.

Highlight the first empty line and press OK.
The bottom of the screen should change to show you what each key on the remote does. Use these buttons to enter the following text...

Code:
#SERVICE: 1:0:1:6a4:7:f020:0:0:0:0:
*** Note there's a space after #SERVICE: ***

The 6a4 is the service id for the channel
The 7 is the transponder id
These numbers are for ex-tw only.
For ex-ntl is might be this but I'm not sure because I can't test it.

Code:
#SERVICE: 1:0:1:0275:007a:f020:0:0:0:0:
Anyway...by now you should have used the buttons on the remote to enter that text.

If you want the '#' press 0
If you want the ':' press 1 until it comes up. Watch out for the ';' before it.
If you want capital letters for the SERVICE, press 'yellow'

Now highlight the second blank line that you created and press ok.

Put the following text in...
Code:
#DESCRIPTION: Sky Box Office Sports
So now you should have the following at the top of your userbouquet file...
Code:
#SERVICE: 1:0:1:6a4:7:f020:0:0:0:0:
#DESCRIPTION: Sky Box Office Sports
Press EXIT on the remote then RED to save.
Press EXIT on the remote then RED to save. (yes again

)

Select the Reload Channels option.

Check your Sports bouquet and it should be at the top.

If you want to move it elsewhere in the list, use Service Organising from the Setup menu.

I hope this works, it did for me, and you get the channel.

must admit i tried this and it worked well for a while and now its black screen ,i had to do a rescan and i think it threw it off so i re done it it came on for a few mins with a film (which i got before the wwf) then it went black screen?

**Devilfish** · 1st March, 2008, 03:40 PM

I'm the same m8.

It seems to come on right before there's an event or just after

.

But it's showing a blank screen for me too now. But it did that before and I didn't do anything and it came on after the last WWF match last time.

I think the CC is turning it on and off.

Can't you just rescan?

**felix1** · 15th April, 2008, 10:10 AM

i think thats normal that the channels go on and off. same with channels like multivision and taquilla. may be just to intice people to order.

the channel will be there, just a black screen at the mo..., as post 3 says it will come back on just before a pay per view event is starting.

SBO is classed as a PPV channel. Most channels can be defined by a service type.

service_type_1 = tv channel
service_type_2 = radio channel
service_type_4 = NVOD channel

Sky Box Office Sports is a type=0 channel because you need to subscribe and pay for it separately. The same with some of the adult channel.

Because it's a type=0, the dreambox won't pick it up with a normal scan. It needs to be done via a manual scan.

As aftermath says, there's not always a picture on it and the bouquet might say 'removed service' but it's still there and a picture will come on when there's an event. If you do a manual scan a few hours before the event it should be there.

Can anyone tell me how to manual scan for box office, so I can watch the boxing tonight.

**ZooLio** · 26th May, 2008, 04:30 PM

sweet little guide this one Devilfish. Works a charm as well.

What other channels do we have to manually scan for then? I assume it's the 3 Red Hot channels, Spice Extreme and XXX Nightly? As these are the only channels that don't appear on an automatic scan?
