    Default missing channels on dbox2

    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.
