    Dbox help needed in Glasgow

    Hello everyone,

    As per most of the people who post here, I am new to this and I need a bit of advice.

    I have a Dbox which, over the last year or so, has started to lose channels. I started losing some FTA channels and others. Yesterday I lost Channel 4, Channel 4+1 and ITV4 so I thought I would get some professional advice on this forum.

    I am based in Glasgow city centre, I run a Dbox with a Neutrino Sporster image, date 30.07.2005, Version 2.0. I have done a couple of service scans but no luck so far.

    I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers to get the missing channels back - I'll throw a crate of beers in for your trouble!

    Cheers

      Hi MetMan,

      I do have a laptop I could connect to the box - not too sure what cable is needed though but I can always buy one. Also, I don't know where to get the img.

      The service scan setting I am using are:
      Only TV
      Leave Existing
      CableUK Sym6887
      Fast Scan Off

      Cheers

              I have read through the forums and tried to update my FTA image via ethernet cable. It worked but I realised I loaded up the 2x image and my Sagem box is a 1x.
              The Dbox now does not boot up and says something along the lines of 'Kein' on the LCD screen.
              I have purchased a Null serail RS232 cable but unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a null plug - the USB adaptor doesn't help either!
              Anyone in Glasgow with an old school laptop I could use to load up my 1x image?
              Cheers

                Turn all antivirus,firewalls off set your network card to 10baseT_halfduplex and use just your crossover and the portable version of IFA it should flash you might have to try it a few times.

                  Thanks for all your advice - I successfully removed the old Sporster image from the Dbox and flashed it with the newest Commando 12 via ethernet cable.
                  I have also ran all the necessary updates C12-1-1 and even installed Pacman and Lemmings!
                  I then chose the 'Glasgow' in the city location, put on the UK Brute Force scan and did a service scan (took about 25min)

                  BUT

                  I've back at the exact same point - I am still missing some FTA channels including Channel 4, Channel 4+1, STV, E4, E4+1, More 4, More 4+1 and ITV4.

                  Any help would be welcome!

                    You need the magic files m8 to make it work correctly ... i.e keys and roms ... Then bobs yer uncle
