OK, I'm very new to dboxes and heres my problem, I recently purchased a dbox2 from ebay and it came with sporster image and all the channel lists preloaded, however they weren't working when i first plugged it in, so i did a re-scan and cut the number of channels in half, for some reason i'm getting about 20 bbc one's, 20 itv's and about 3 non terrestrial channels i.e. sky sports xtra. Now does anyone know how i can restore it to the way it arrived(with pre installed channels such as sky sports etc.) without flashing it, as i have no null modem port on my laptop to be able to flash it!!

thanks
Go into your SERVICE menu then CHANNEL SCAN, try BRUTEFORCE, fast scan OFF, BOUQUETS = REPLACE (or similar), SCAN.

Trying that method now, hope it works, though I've tried loads of different ways and they don't seem to be working, cheers for the tip will let you know.

I'm trying to sort a few problems myself, but I believe that if you switch the box off from the mains, disconnect it, re-connect, switch on and leave it running on a Sky movie channel, it will take say 20 minutes or so to tune in, but will download all available channels. then save those you want into 'Bouquets' (ie movies/sports/discovery etc).

good luck - these boxes sure ain't 'plug 'n play' as our ebay friends would have us believe!

You could try & FTP into the VAR/CONFIG/ZAPPIT folder and delete MYSERVICES.XML, that should bring them back. To find out how to FTP see one of ZAPPP64's posts for the link to his site.

I'm pretty certain that i need either the services.xml for my area or the boquets.xml for my area so that i have the correct channel listings in the epg right?

Yes that's correct. I never scan for channels I just FTP the dervices & bouquets files to my ZAPPIT folder & channels are there after a reboot.

I had the excact same problem as you when I, just for fun, flashed the latest German Yada image (both Neutrino and Enigma versions).. Reading your post is like deja vu..
Scanned for channels using bruteforce, fast scan off etc etc, still found no channels..
In the end I just flashed another image, scanned again and found all (even PPV)..
I can't explain why it seems some images just work whereas others don't, I want to research more to find out why though..
For your case, I think if I were you I'd just reflash another image. If your Dbox2 has 2 chips, try flashing this Sportster image, which is what I use and has never let me down in anyway..

Yes, you need to change the German cables.xml to a UK cables.xml..

Better still, flash a UK image..
