Maybe you should use a nokia for checking the real frequencies.

I do not understand what you mean by "real frequencies"

If NTL broadcast at 355.123456 then the closest my cables file can get is 355.0

If I edited the cables to have 355.0 and 355.123456 then I still think it will generate 355.0 in the service file, just because it is first.

My nokias and sagems use the same cables.xml and so generate identical service.xml files too. I cannot see how the nokia would help.

I could only imagine the pace could be of help. Do providers send frequency details to the box, or does it do a similar scan like a dbox and pick the first one it works well on?

I figure the nokias have better tuners so cope with a poorly selected frequency better. I feel if my sagem was at the properly broadcasted frequency it would be perfect.

On digitalworldz many are reporting perfect results in the UK when using blade with gbox, these people had sagems that were chirping very badly.

NTL is using exactly 355.500. The space to the next frequency must be 8.000 or higher.
The AutomaticFrequencyControl (AFC) at a sagem is better. You can get a picture with a more shifted frequency then from a nokia.

Hi all, have been using the the dbox2 without any problems for a while now, past few days channels are freezing and sometimes no channels,using sportster 1.7 from benifa and all went fine,did a reflash and updated to irish cables 9 but problem remains,have no clue of cams/keys yet so any help welcome, also romote has lost the volume(nothing happens it scrolls up and down but volume never changes)not a big deal really.
I do have true cable as one room does have a cable box so signal should be fine,but other room with dbox2 is freezing now an again,any suggestions welcome.

Thanks but I've heard some bad things about Starview and I've been steered away from them

Irishstu, I am having the exact same problems in Tallaght too. DOnt know what to do. I got the blade image and am going to try that tonight. I read that it fixes the sagem dbox2 freeze problems.

If I were you I would use a Sagem box because the tuner of this box is better than the one of Nokia.
Also most Nokia has only Avia500chip inside and Sagem boxes has Avia600.
Someone wrote here it´s easier to flash a dbox2 than a dbox1. I say this: You can´t flash a dbox1 and you can´t compare this ones. They are too differently.

Thanks for the reply dc69, i googled "eurovox max" and it's from the same company that make "Starview" but is the "eurovox max" a better box? and for £115 (?170) including shipping will there be no need to update the system from time to time?
