Ok, i posted this in the cable section and was advised it was a satellite box due to it having a CAM card installed.
OK, i have got a Dbox (not dbox2) today for ?6 (not bad). Unfortuanatly i thought it was a dbox2 (should have looked at it first but was so excited it was ?6 i just bought it). Anyways, I know these are usually worthless, but can i connect it to a UK Cable provider (NTL/Vigrin media) to get my usual channels? It says its a Dbox-C which i have read is the cable version as opposed to Dbox-S (satellite). It was setup with german channels, about 30 of them maybe. I tried connecting it to my existing cable line and ran a scan which gave me about 4 or 5 channels (which all appeared to be german names) but no picture, no sound and no info on them. Tried to connect it to my satellite dish (just in case it was a satellite version) and ran a scan. Came back with the same results (and the same channels). It has got the card built into it already and im not worried about having to use a funcard or about the keys changing each day, jsut want to test it for now.Source: Digital Kaos http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...t-dbox2-35886/

Also, do you know where i can get a new image for it (its got DVB2000 Beta 8) as I just wanna experiment with it. If not, what can I do with it other than bin it or just rest my feet on it?

Cheers.
Now I know its a satellite box, can someone help me set it up for use in the UK? Wondering what satellite to point it at and where i should enter settings, what those settings are, and how to get the free satellite channels showing on it instead of using my sky STB to watch the free ones.
