Start by re-scanning the channels..
What box box / image are you using?

Hi I have the same problem but its even weirder. Most of the channels display and sound perfect, however the Irish channels breakup and have sound breaks.
I've noticed that on the signal display, the numbers change depending on the channel I have selected, so for RTE1, SNR is about 50000 but on NickJR its about 62000
I've also noticed that the signal strength fluctuates quite a bit. So if i leave on any channel, the signal gets weak (about 25%) of the possible strength up to sometimes 75%
I don't mind buying a booster if that would help.
It's a Sagem with commando, but when I set it up for the scan I chooses UK NTL Bruteforce. Although I get ~146 channels, it seems a bit odd that the irish ones are the dodgey ones.

Hi folks, got my dbox of ebay, Buy it now price worked out at ?150 p+p inc. Name of seller d-box-seller-uk. Typical anal german but got the item in ok time.
Have a problem though - initially got about 50 channels sky sports, movies etc. Picture wasn't great though so started messin around with it. Ended up fixing picture for the few stations I am able to see. All the rest are gone black. Any ideas how to fix this? In Dublin.

Is yours set up to do that? The German ones aren't normally. I've a sagem and the setings from ntl dont apply (dont matter). the bruteforce scan did get lots of them.

You can, in theory, enter this info into the cables.xml file. But really, this is not necessary at all. Any UK image will be grand, because NTL in Ireland needs to be scanned using the setting "Sym6887", which is exactly the same as NTL in the UK..
When you receive your box, simply flash a UK image (I recommend Sportster), scan your channels, and you're grand so..
Don't make life difficult for yourself..

thats grand.i only mentioned it because someone earlier in the topic said that they took the SR, FREQ and ID from a box that they had and i presumed this would be the best way to ensure that i recieve all the channels available but if theres no point then i wont bother.

Dsleeper - I just read your earlier post regarding your freezing problem on the Irish channels. I also have lower SNR on some channels and higher on others, though fortunately, and touch wood, this hasn't caused freezing issues for me. BBC1, for example, has a very low SNR on my box, but never freezes..
So I'm not sure buying a signal booster would fix your problem. Have you tried using a different image? I've tried many images, some of which gave lots of channel freezing, including Commando 6..
The most stable image I've used is Sportster. Zappp64 has some UK sportster images for download on his site: http://netwave.redirectme.net/RED-DWARF/

Yes I would, most definitely. From all the images I've used here in Waterford, Sportster 1.7 has produced the best results. If your box has two flash chips, you can download the said image here:

PS, cams included on all images :)

I'll have a go...I'm still a bit on the worried side that I'll end up with nothing!!
