dreambox 600prv cable advice on scanning channells

[chriscross9]

hi, i am using the image "gemini-420-dm600pvr-200712172013" and would like to scan for all cable channells but it thinks i am using a satellite dish, please could you suggest the best image to use if appropriate (other than gemini) and suggest how i would do a bruteforce scan. i could do this scan before but when i flashed my new image on the box it wiped everything off, please help, i live in the manchester / oldham area ( ex ntl ), will apprechiate any reply, thanks
chris.

If you want to carry using this image you may just need a cables.xml.

Digital Kaos - Downloads - Cables.xml

Copy this cables.xml file to /var/etc and reboot.

advice on copying cables.xml to dreambox

firstly thank you for the quick reply, when i use dreambox control centre to ftp the cables.xml file over to the box it it doesnt move over, is there an easier way to do this?
thanks

managed to copy cable.xml but still having problems

even though i have copied cable.xml into the folder you said, when i try and do a scan, my box still thinks that i am using it for sky as it doesnt come up with a bruteforce scan for cable, i tell it to do an automatic transponder scan and it comes up with,
simple/default
frequency bands
frequency steps
it usually said bruteforce for virgin, please help
thanks

Try copying the file to /etc/tuxbox as opposed to /var/etc.
DM600s are different, sorry.

If you follow the above instructions then reboot it will work for sure. Tried and tested.

Any problems give us a shut dude, as ive done this many time.

abit more help

i'm learning so much about the dreambox by your instructions, i have done all of that with the image i had on, did a scan and found all the channells, most of them were balnk and didnt get any sound or video, just flashed my box again to a older version of pli images i cant remember which 1 and ive put the cable.xml file in it again, just doin a scan now, hopefully fingers crossed it will work, would you be able to provide a link or something which enables to get me more cable.xml files and also some of the naughty ~~~~ challells like spice extreme, i'm 18 years old for gods sake, give me some slack thanks again for helping me previously mate,
hope to hear from you soon,
chris.
