missing channels on dbox2

**milko8286** · 16th August, 2014, 11:17 AM

Morning all,

I dug out my old Dbox 2 and flashed it with the ultraphat image I found on a site and added a cables.xml file I found for Manchester, did a search and got most channels but not all - eg sky sports 5 is missing.

Also the regions for BBC1 and ITV1 are wrong - it shows up as BBC1 yorkshire and says 'channel not available', similar things happens with iTV1.

I know I am very close, any tips on what I need to do to get all the otehr channels - do I need a different cables.xml file or do I need to change some settings on my box? Or is there a channel list I can load?

I live in Manchester in a virgin area.

ive tried with both net id and brutforce - whats the difference?

**milko8286** · 16th August, 2014, 08:48 PM

got it sorted - went into the engineers menu on my tivo box and found my freq id and symbol rate. added them in when doing a scan and hey presto got the missing channels and the right regions!
