Hi, Having trouble with dbox and codes like a lot of other users,
mine as gone off and having got to the menu were you change the codes there is no codes there to change. How do i put the new codes in and do you have to put in the time and date with the code.
Any help would be very helpful. Thanks Topsite

Is there a keylist.old file in the dir ? if there is you can copy a line from it into keylist.txt but use the latest keys.
Or you can ftp a new keylist.txt if you are familiar with ftp.

;ROM7 AU Key Time Mon Jun 4 22:03:15 2007

is what you need after your code, the time and date dont really matter they are just a note but the ROM7 is important because this is the rom you need to enable, disable all other roms

YOu can use any date and time, this is just a note to yourself so you remember the latest codes you used. The only part that matters is the codes and the ref to the ROM
Good Luck!

HI
I had to leave mine on on a non-terrestial channel (like sky sports) for 10mins before it came up.
Can you put your keylist.txt here? (sorry I'm not at home so I can post mine)

Hi,
1 press blue button on remote
2 scoll to tuxbox commander, press ok
3 you should be now looking at the files of the dbox
4 lefthand side of screen scroll to keylist.txt then press the number 4 on remote, you need to press 4 so you can edit the codes
5 you should now be looking at the var/keys/keylist.txt at the top,2,3 codes in the middle and numbers 1 - 9 at bottom
6 scroll to the old code and then press ok, this will make the code slightly larger
7 change the code to the new one with the number on remote
8 once done this press ok, then home,it will then ask you to save, scroll acress and press ok
9 you will have changed the code then press home again
10 you must now reboot the system, press the dbox button scoll to the reboot and press ok and hopefully you should have your channels back, but beware , N*L are changing the codes every 6-8 hrs of late so you will have to keep changing the codes. down load bigmaq toolbar, this keeps you upto date with latest codes.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Go into the pvr devices forum and look for thread 'setting your dbox with remote control' message dated 7 april @ 16.45 by scoopdog,
there is a more detailed way of doing this that might help you.
Thanks Topsite

0 - download bigmaq toolbar at http://bigmaq.ourtoolbar.com/ and install, on the toolbar there is "latest keys"
this will give you all the new keys for telewest etc your old provider before virgin took over.

1 - press the blue button on your DBOX - and go to option Tuxbox file manager/commander press ok.

2- then scroll down to the option that says "var" and press ok

3- scroll down to "keys" and press ok

4- scroll down to "keylist.txt and press 4 (DO NOT OK)to edit you must PRESS 4

4a- delete all keys by pressing ok to highlight and then 8, exit if it asks you to save do, restart dbox

4b- wait for a few mins go back into keys.txt using 4(DO NOT OK), new keys should be there.

5- scroll onto it then press OK so you can now edit it
after 00 or the 01 - change the key to match the new ones from bigmaq using the buttons like a phone
you should only have to change 1 or 2 numbers/letters eg n 5a01 00 ****************:rom7 just leave the time and date
n 5a01 01 ****************:rom7 * is the ones you change
it might say rom10 insetead of rom7, don't think it matters
6 - Press ok to exit then press the button under your power button (under the orange button)

7- and save changes when asked, if box is in German press ja.

8- Reboot (restart your box) and bingo, it should work
every time your box stopes working, repeat. it's a bit of a pain in the arse but hey it's free cable

I have tried the new codes for the NTL/ Virgin UK Dbox.

It keeps the OO code when i reboot but gives me an additional 00 code as well as a new 01 code. It removes the 01 code that i entered.

***codes removed***

I still only have access to the normal terestrial channels. Does it matter if one code is rom07 and the other is rom10?

Can someone help please???

cheers

Goldballs
