Hi moderngirl,

What image are you using and have you changed anything since your previous post suggesting a rescan had resolved your issue??

I have used The don as my image, i found this to be the most suited to the box. I have done a rescan since the thread but to no avail.

When you scan do you pick up the channels but cannot decode them, do you have free to air channels?

I get just a few bbc five , no itv2 no e4, just to name a few.

when i scanned i get 188 transponders, 200 and odd channels, the bouquets all have the channels and the programme description.

Just an update, i have reflashed the box with a new image, and i still have the same problem of just showing bbc1, bbc2, itv, channel 4 and five, bbc 3 and a few others.

If anyone can just advise me on my next step, i would very much appreciate it.

Assuming you have the encrypted channels you need the magic files fron here to view them: Tools
You will need to ftp (use flashfxp for this) the files in each folder to the corresponding folder on your dbox i.e contents of lib folder to the lib folder on dbox etc. Once the files are transferred you will need to chmod the files you placed in the emu and lib folders to 755, to do this right click on the file dbox side (right hand window in flashfxp) and select attributes then change the value in the window that pops up to 755 and click ok, do this for each file and then go to skysports and wait for channel to clear (should only take a few mins) if nothing happens try a reboot and then go back to skysports.
If it still doesn't work post back which image you are using and I should be able to guide you to the emu menu to check it is activated and that the files are transferred correctly.

Hi Tommo, thanks for your reply. My dbox was working ok Thursday night, when i switched the box on, on Friday i got the message, as stated in my original post. Could the cmod setting have changed by themselves? I reflashed the box with LHC2_fta, and copied the key file and bin files, my sevice and bouquets, i didnt touch the lib file.

Hi Moderngirl,

You won't need lib file adding on that image, I would check the chmod again as each time these are transferred I believe they will default back to 644.

Worth having a look at this thread also: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ia-dbox-89118/

Post 10 and 14 may be of help as the guy who created the image (MetMan) offers some good advice here.

would this be a reason for not getting itv2 and other fta channels? I have looked at the link, and i think i have followed the instructions, but when i get home will confirm this.

[Tommo1973]

No this will only help view encrypted content, when you scanned did you set your location first?
Just checked and ITV2 whilst being fta is actually encrypted on cable so the issue with that channel is likely linked.

Knew you would get there in the end

Now you need to backup your image up to your PC just in case

Just a quick note, when i checked that all the magic files were in place and the location was set, i also checked the cams within the dbox and for some reason they were switched off, i switched them on, this is what seemed to make to channels work.
