had sportster 1.08 on my box. Went back to 1.7 which seems more stable, but I miss the way you could press left or right while watching a channel and it would show the current and next program on next or previous channels (like ntl menu). Any way to get this on 1.7, or was this a new feature in 1.08?

Hi everyone,
Ive been reading through this thread and have found it very helpful. However Im trying to get an image file and the service and bouquet files for the Dublin area.
I have a nokia box and Im on ntl.
I tried Benifa's link but it dosent seem to be working at the moment and I also tried booboomans and that dosent work either. So please if anyone can post commando or sportster image (Im not sure which is best) and the service files for the Dublin area it would be well appreciated.
Regards
Iba

Upload the irish cables.xml to /var/tuxbox/config and overwrite the old one. Delete scan.conf in the same folder. Unplug the box. Replug and select NTL cable Dublin in the provider line in the scan menue and switch off fast scan.
If you FTP to the box you are landing inside the var folder.
In some image made in UK the cables.xml goes to /share/tuxbox.

no unfortunately. It is called virtual zap. Some images have it turned off, it is usually in
settings
misc
virtual zap
Commando has it. I want to try out the new commando this weekend for stability

If anybody wants an image pm me your email. I have working images for sagem 1x, 2x, and nokia. All sporster 1.7, I think the 1x is pacino. Tell me which you want in the pm. They are all NTL dublin but contain a large amount of service providers, chorus, UK etc.
NTL is gone to shit at the moment, I am getting bad scans if I attempt them, no channels on the dublin cable scan. And jittery channels on others too. But my images should be OK.

It still might not work. The fact you were able to select NTL BF means there might be no need to delete scan.conf
I rescanned with a working image and got the same thing, 3 transponders and no files. NTL are messing about at the moment. If you have a working service file it should be fine. If you flash on my image it should work and you will have all cables if needed again.

I just emailed it to you. You can use IFA to load it, this is the easiest if you have never used FTP software.
If you use FTP you can connect to the box then put it into the tmp folder, this should be at the top of the directories.
If you turn off the box the image is deleted from the tmp folder, so do not reboot after loading via FTP
Then go to the service menu and select image update, it might be image restore, or in backup or something.
You then select "without bootloader", then you should be able to see the image you just put in, move down to select it and press ok. It will now load and reboot or turn itself off.

It is permanent. You can backup your image on the box at any time, it will stay in the tmp folder until rebooted.
So if you want to play about scanning you should always backup your image, then scan for new channels. If you end up loosing channels, or deleting your bouquet or something you can always just load back on your image without the need for a PC. But if rebooted you lose the old settings unless you have them on PC.

just a quick question. I have a Nokia dbox2 running Sportster image and a uk/ireland cables.xml. I do a scan on cableNTLIE Bruteforce. It picks up all of the channels but no picture or sound.
Do I need to get NTL digital installed on my line? My sisters Pace box works in my parents (never enabled for digital)so I presumed that the digital signal is sent by ntl on the cable. I thought the dbox could just decrypt the channels without needing digital installed by NTL.
any ideas?
thaks in advance
Is there a yellow key appearing on the channels
I bet Network 2 works
your cams and ucodes are not installed
have a look on tecno-source.co.uk for info on how to fix
Or get a fully working image from some1
you using commando, yea?

Thanks.
You have to assign a fixed IP to the network card which is connected to box.
192.168.0.1 for instance.

Yes I did that,
NokiaDbox2- ip 192.168.0.100
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1
PC - 192.168.0.101
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1
Is that what the error is saying,I'm running xp home on desktop and xp pro on laptop, both giving the same error.

Hi,
Sorry but Im getting a bit confused. Can someone point me in the right direction please. I have a Nokia Dbox and Im on NTL in Dublin. Do I just have to upload Sportster Image 1.7 onto my Dbox. Then plug in my Dbox including arial and the channels will be recived or do I also have to upload the service and bouquet files?
Thanks

Do you use a crossover cable?
Did you choose the right network card inside IFA?

You need a UK modded image and if you are too lazy for a own scan you need matching service and bouquet files.

@cathaldub
Which IP?
The underlying bootmanager got 0.0.0.202 and that means there was no fixed IP set to the choosen network card at the pc.
IFA use x.x.x.202 for the box and the first 3 ranges are taken from the pc network card.
