Hi, I turned my DBOX 2 on today and all the channels are blank apart from the free ones such as BBC1 etc..., only the information in the EPG is displayed for the blank channels.

I have also done a service scan and have got the channels but they are all blank with no picture, the channels information is displayed in the EPG.

Please help

Hi there,

What a nightmare. Basically Virgin Media are trying to kill the dboxes etc. They are sending out keys that these boxes can't handle. They must have upgraded the real cable boxes. The only solution at the moment is to update the keys manually. Get this toolbar for up to date keys: http://bigmaq.ourtoolbar.com/
Then you need to update the keylist.txt file. It's in /var/keys/keylist.txt on the dbox.
Just delete all lines except first 2 and change keys to the lastest ones in BigMAQ. Best to do this with a PC & FTP program but can be done pressing the blue button on remote and scrolling to Tuxbox Commander I think.

Now reboot box - should be OK now!

Trouble is, they keep changing the keys - twice a day!!

Good luck,

Have a look at this link on how to change key via dbox:

http://forums.digitalworldz.co.uk/showthread.php?t=169888

Better to use a laptop with an FTP programs such as cuteftp. Username for dbox is root, password is dbox
