    Flashing dbox2 for first time

    I've flashed boxes before but im new to dbox2. Ok so im flashing with null cable. I've read through the tut sticky, do i need to download any other files? as with other boxes ive used firmware and channel data.

    many thanks

      I do not have either net cable. I got a null cable that i flashed my eurovox with earlier. Yes there a image on box at the minute and all works fine. I was hoping to just update firmware, there are some channels on the box i cant get i.e espn, i was hoping id get them if i updated it. or any other ideas?

        u won't be able to update (add files) to the image with null, get a network cable if using a router or a xover cable if direct connection with pc, u can ftp then.

        if u can't get espn u could scan or chk ur bouquets, if u scan u may loose all ur channels if not successfull.....with a cable u could back up ur services first to ur pc in case u did lose them

        another way is to use tuxbox commander thru remote, rename the services.xml file to something else then if problems after scanning delete the new services file and change the name of the old file back.....bit fiddly get a cable their cheap....

          Is there anyway i can re-scan for channels without losing current ones?

          ESPN america and classic works fine, but the main ESPN channel only works when it wants to.


          These are the reading i get on the espn channel

          BER = 26143
          SNR = 57000
          sIG 41891
          BITRATE 5400

          I've got the Hardwork 2.0 image file

            From memory, choose leave bouquets i think Make a back up of your bouquets then if you lose them just ftp them back in

            THE TRUTH
            The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

            Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
            The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

              connect ethernet and null to comp and box with box off
              just go into local area connection go to properties

              un tick all apart from tcp/ipv4

              then click on ipv4 then properties
              click use the following ip addy
              click ok then close ready to ifa new image
              takes 5mins max
