new to dbox need help pls

[Renwich]

the main issue you have here is that you have a none UK image on your box,

Borrowed from Al cheers m8

FTP into /var/tuxbox/conf and edit the settings I've marked in red to your known local settings in the scan.conf file...

TP_fec=3
TP_freq=643000
TP_pol=0
TP_rate=6887
TP_satname=
TP_scan=0
bouquetMode=2
delivery_system=0
diseqcMode=0
diseqcRepeat=0
netid=00005
satCount=0
satNameNoDiseqc=Virg*n Media
scanSectionsd=0
scanType=0
scan_mode=1

Mimic all the other dark blue settings as above- and make sure the green item reads like mine. (replacing the * with i of course; this is board safety in action). This links into the cables.xml file and will enable you to toggle to another provider if you are NOT 6887 nor 6952 (VM)

Then SAVE the file and Reboot your box (or the changes won't work!), Then try a Scan again.

how do i ftp into ???

u need a ethernet (network or patch) cable to connect to box and then use an ftp app like flashfxp

u use a normal cable if u connect through a router (hub)

or a similar cable but a couple of the wires crossed known as a cross-over ethernet (network or patch) cable if direct to your pc

or if u only got a normal cable u could use an adapter

i've always used a router and never had a prob connecting...use a straight ethernet cable...go into your dbox/settings/network....

set ipaddress 1 number above your pc ip addy or in the range of ur router
set default gateway to the ip address of ur router and
set dns server to the address of ur pc


eg

IP Address 192.168.1.3 - dbox
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 - router
DNS Server 192.168.1.2 - pc

The img is all the software on ur box always 7.87 MB / 8,064 KB if ur img ain't this size don't flash it and it has to be the same as your box 1x or 2x chip.

All boxes seem to be different it's a matter of 'sucking and see' which one best suits your box....i'm forever flashing new imgs just for the fun of it but once ur happy with an img then stick to it....but you'll never know if the latest one created is better....

ps after any mod to ur image save it, save bouquets, service and ke*y files after any change...can't stress enough to save regularly, best bit of advice i was given when first starting out....

ok,im now connected through the flashfxp to my dbox,previously i was told to go into scanconfig file and change some settings,how do i get into this file ? do i need to transfer it from the dbox to my pc first using the flashfxp ? im totally confused

<--cablefreejunkie added 20 Minutes and 15 Seconds later...-->

the problem i have is that most of the channels i get the error channel not available mesage on the screen,the only channels available are bb 123 it 1 and 4 and 5 nothing else is available,im being told to do all sorts of actions on here that i havent got a clue how to do,i was told to get the flashfxp which i have done and connect and go to var/tux/config and edit settings,i have got to this folder but the files i cannot open,do they need to be transfered to my pc first ? am i doing the right actions for the problem i have with my d-box ????

if u can see the files that's good....have a look in var/keys....do u have the new nagrarom7 file to transfer across? it may be worth saving ur img as it is first....go into press dbox/settings/service/backupimg or expert user...save img back up one partition.....then use flashfxp look in the tmp folder and u will see a file called mtd3 or 4 right click on this and transfer to pc...
