First thing you need to do is flash an image onto it using either ftp or IFA.Add Keys and roms if they are not already in it. Add service files, Or do a scan for your area. Read the posts in Dbox section, if your stuck come back and someone will help you out

Hi Hanky Hank,

I'd recommend trying to upgrade your dbox with the flash assistant and one of the lastest images.

Make sure you use the correct Image for your box, either a x1 or x2. There are numerous guides around to on how to use the flash software either over a network cable or via a null modem.

Cheers,

Hanky,

If you do a search on google for 'dbox2 flash assistant' the second result may help you. Also if you loook for Image Flash Assistant or IFA guides.

Cheers,

Search for IFA a flashing tool. Connect your dbox to pc with xover cable and flash new image using IFA

You needto get your self a copy of ifa mate installit and follow the instructions select your image you will get a warning .YOU ARE ABOUT TO FLASH YOUR D BOX MUST BE OFF AT THE WALL AT THIS TIME..... Push ok and power up your box at the wall it should say FLASHING if it dont within 10 secs switch off atthe wall and back on repeat this untill it does .When finished it will say flashing done REMOVE your cable .And then reboot your D box Hope this helps ...........Paul

Easiest way to flash using IFA. Give your computer ethernet connection an ip address eg 192.168.1.100 subnet 255.255.255.0 leave gateway blank. Make sure Dbox is turned off. Connect a crossover cable from your pc to the dbox. Open IFA choose the image you want to flash. click ok then turn your box back on.
As Plasterer says it will say flashing.When its done disconnect cable, power off then back on dbox. Do a scan for channels or if you have service files ftp them to Var/Tuxbox/config/zapit. reload channel list and you should be all sorted.

Nearly forgot to say, when all done don't forget to set your ethernet card back to "obtain an ip address automatically"
