OK have downloaded IFA. Will try this evening again.

One question. I used a normal network cable to connect from my laptop to dbox. is this sufficient or should I get a specific cable. It worked, as you pointed out when FTP ing.

7. If you get lucky "flashing" will show on the Dbox screen. If after a few seconds it doesn't turn it
off at the mains.
8. The window should minimize so click on it to get it back. Select the "Settings" tab and change
the IP to 192.168.0.100
9. Click "Start"
10. Turn on your Dbox.
11. It should now come up flashing first time. If it doesn't try turning the dbox off then back on
again a few times. If it doesnt work after a dozen goes start from the beginning as it should really
work first time

Hi guys,

Having a very strange problem, hoping someone could help.

I have a perfectly working Sportster 1.7 image on one of my Nokia D-Boxes. I copied this image on into the temp folder by write one partition/flash without bootloader (its called mtd3 by default). FTPed it to my computer and flashed it using IFA to another (identical) Nokia box. It seemed to work fine and the box loads up but when it comes to the channels it says "Waiting for time" and then "Error, channel not available". This really confuses me as it should be a direct copy of an image that works fine with my cable connection.

I tried on another box and the exact same thing is happened.

I tried flashing one of the boxes with another image that previously worked and the same thing is hapening. I was previously flashing boxes with no problems so I'm really confused with what's going wrong.

I thought there might be something wrong with IFA or my computer but this seems unlikely as it seems to flash the image fine, the box loads up, but I get the error message then as though there was no signal.

It's driving me mad, any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

I should add, when I do a scan, it comes up as an error saying no channels are found. Like I said this, identical image is working fine in another box so when i flash it, it should work straight away.

As regards the signal, BER is at 26,000 right up the top. SIG and SNR are both about 44,000

Like I said, I'm baffled as to why this is not working so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.You are fantastic with all the help. Bbox is running again but I now have another prob. I did a service sccn despite all channels been there when reflashed. It only picked up two transponders. now only have 15. Should I reflash or is ther something else I can do. I can FTP to box. Using commando 8 which BrenIRL graciously supplied to me. Also in the N*l dublin area.

Again Bren and Ruperect thank you for you assistance to date. Holding my head up with a little less shame now.

I have read up on the whole thread to here (took some time) and have gone from knowing sfa about dbox / dbox2 to knowing a bit.

I am looking for the latest Galway NThelL MMDS services and bouquets files, and any other additional info that you may believe to be beneficial.

Just a FYI .. Running off a Nokia DBOX2 2X in debug mode with Neutrino Linux Sportster Software 1.10

BrenIRL - I spoke too soon. Can I confirm that for FTP the pass word and user name is now dbox2.

Sorry for been a pain. Just before I go and do anything else can you advise me.

I am only picking up two transponders in the N*TL scan. Used to get 14. Am I doing something wrong. Do I need to add a cables.xml file that I got when using origional image (sportster). If yes do I have to erase something from dbox when I put it on. Where do I place it.

Should I just reflash.

Sorry if this has been answered already somewhere else but I've spent the last two hours searhing and can't find anything.

I seem to remember coming across a message in a thread somewhere with a link to some "software" that can fix the missing lines problem on a d-box2 display.

Was I dreaming here or does such a thing exist?

If anyone has suce software or can tell me where to find it I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Paul

Are N*L messing around with the signal this morning? RTE 1, 2, TV3, Sky Sports 1 etc. are all over the place... Like they are encoded.

Any ideas?
