I have followed the instructions that I found on this site and have no problems accessing the /tmp directory on my dBox however the sportster and the commando_6 images that I have are 8,257 bytes and the xfer always bums out after 7,512 bytes has been xfered.

My guess is that there is not enough memory in the dBox ?? What can I do to free some up? What can I do at all?

The box has DigitalWorldZ-PRO 2.0 loaded but I am having no joy with NTL/Virgin

Any help at all will be gratefully received
If my memory serves me right, 7512 b is the right size when viewed on Linux - when you say "bums out" what exactly do you mean?

Different problem now. I have managed to scan with DigitalWorldZ 2.0 found all the channels but I can only view the free ones there is a legend on the screen below the channel identity bar showing several icons. key - 16:9 - Dolby - Subtitles (i think)

Every channel besides the free ones has the key icon highlighted and whilst I can get the channel info I get no sound or picture, is there anything I can do to unlock the channels

hi everyone. i'm having problems using direct recording with commando 6. i've set up a shared folder on my computer allowing other users to change and mounted it on the dbox changing from 'ro' to 'rw'. but when i try to record i get a message saying "the recording directory is not writable". in the shared folder a 0kb xml file is created. i have tried writing to this shared folder from other computers on the network and it is possible, so why not for the dbox. any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

I set up my new d box yesterday, but there must be about 40-50 channels that comes up waiting for epg could anyone tell me what to do to get the channels. Bought the DBox from Germany but everything seems to be set to English ie using remote all menus in English. Is there a setting I need to change to access all channels so as channels are fixed?

Thanks in advance for any support.

Reboot the box.
Press the up arrow button and the standby button at the front panel of the box simultaniously. If the display changes release both buttons.

tried this a few times, but still freezing after a few minutes. the guy who sold me the box says i need to flash the local area services xml file onto the box. i've kind of heard of this, but hes only a couple of miles from me. surely if he had no bother, then the services.xml file should be ok for me too, given the proximity. does anyone think this would solve my problem and if so, point me to the info/ instructions. thanx in advance

I live in Bolton/Manchester..

I use sportster 1.7 (this works perfect)
i cannot get power commander to work (any version)(get no channels)
if any1 needs service files and/or boquets for this area pm me..i will be happy to help !

it seems the message would be to stick to sportster for this area it works well.

Also it is much easier to FTP services across than to scan (which i find is unpredictable to say the least.(i find FlashFXP to be easiest.
i also have come across another niggle...
services and bouquets.xml files seem to ONLY work with the images that created them EG powercommander OR sportster ect.
i have tried to use a services.xml (created by sportster) on a power commander flashed box..and it wouldn`t work.(but worked on a sportster image)
i hope these findings have helped some1
cheers

since that post above (which was a while ago )
i have delved much deeper into dbox modding..and i can get any images to work.
images work better in some areas more than others..also...the settings (cam..ucode) differ from area to area too.
if u r struggling viewing premium channels (they show they r there ...but is a black screen)..then this is a KEY issue ..or a CAM issue.
if the channels simply aint there ...then this is a services fault.
cheers
chris
