If your channels are sticking/delaying etc here's instructions on what to do. I have no idea what they mean so can anyone explain it to me in an idiot proof way
Quote:
If you are experiencing freezing / sticking issues with your box, then you should change the uCode
to 001a.
Credit to kampanita for the following.
Delete ucode.bin file and rename the 001a u-code file to ucode.bin.
Upload it.
CHMOD 755 Then reboot.
Cheers

Hi folks,
Having a bit of trouble: doing a bit of work round the house earlier and asked the missus to knock off the trip switch fo rthe lights: she hit the sockets, 4 or 5 times! Now when I go to switch on my Dbox2, it sticks at Loading Kernel. Reckon the power surges must have corrupted some file (no surge protection plug, another thing I keep meaning to get). \From reading the posts, it looks like I'll have to flash teh box. I was using Sportster 1.7, but I'd like to use the Don v4 to see if that stops it from freezing up as well. No idea how to get IFA, the Don, etc (Isee them on a weblink, but I think I havre to be invited to join to download anything). Can someone give me a little or lot or help, please? Thanks in advance

Reflashed Services.xml file and have >140 channels now using C8.2.
very pleased. thanks everyone for their help and TUTS.next stop HDD.does that really function well as a PVR ?
Is it possible to actually take the Tuner and install that on a PCI card on a Linux runing PC and using two of these as PVR ???just a wild thought i guess...OR IS IT ???Hmmmmmmmmmm

Agggh!! Can someone point out where I am going wrong on this?
Have flashed fekkers 2x blade2 image to a Sagem 2x box
ftp'd dsleepers services,cables, and bouquets to correct locations
deleted scan.conf
turned off the box and turned it back on again (and got nothing)
performed a scan 6887, fastscan off, and still got nothing.
I had this box working fine a while ago but then had some freezing problems with it. All help appreciated.

Use the irish cables.xml.
As far as I know the cables.xml goes to /share/tuxbox at a blade image.
You have to pull the plug after deleting the scan.conf.

I got sporster 1.1 with gbox working on my sagem 2x. Strangely the SIG comes in at 40-41000, which is similar to a nokia. The sagem on any other image was always 23-26000.
Pretty similar in operation to blade with gbox, I still get the odd black screen for a few seconds that recovers itself. I prefer blades menus.

The numbers depends on the tuner driver version.
You can only compare the numbers from the same version.
Nokia tuner driver and sagem tuner driver are different.

It depends if your signal is too strong or too weak.
If the signal is too strong you need an attenuator and if too weak an booster.
A variable attenuator is also good to fine-tune one of the cheaper boosters. The gain control is mostly not so good at such devices.
I got a variable attenuator and I gto my BER down near 0. Still only getting 109 channels. Do you think I need a booster?

BER with 0 is good.
Use a the right cables.xml for scanning.

Do the channels that you do get have good picture? If so you might only need a services from somebody in your area. Or try scanning in a friends house. Maybe have the coax going via a video or dvdrecorder, this can stabilise the signal.
At times I couldnt pick up a single channel when scanning, but if I had the right service file on all the channels were there and working perfectly.
Scans in dublin are now working fine, when 1 month ago they were terrible.

Lads, I need advice. I'm getting one of these things, no doubt about it, but I haven't got a clue what half of yiz are talking about.I dont know what a commando, sportster or a picture is. I certainly wouldn't know how to "flash" one.I just need to know a few things in "beginners" language.
1.How often do these boxes need to be up-dated?
2.Does it cost money to up-date it?
3.How DO you up-date it?
4.I have a wide-screen plasma, do these boxes show pictures in 16.9 wide?
5.I know you can hook them up to the pc, can the electronic channel guide (the channels) be re-arranged to your favourites?

Sorry for the double post above, I just wanted to edit the word "picture" for "image". One more question while im here, can these be used like a sky+ box to record programmes? I came across one on ebay seems to have this function (I will now try to insert the link)

Lefty, mostly for all your answers its YES YES & YES.
Yes (so far for me i have had this dbox2 for 6 days only) They are GREAT,
so far hasnt needed any further updating....of course if you are a total newbie to all this like me then it takes some time to make it all work .. i didnt knew how to FTP anything and got the box working in an overnight session...you have to search and read all the GUIDES and TUTS freely available on all these forums ... just type DBOX2 GUIDE in google and then away you go... beileve me if you have the dedication and willingness its quite easy and saright forward.
it dont cost nutting if you are doing it yourself.
and Yes any channel thats broadcasted in 16:9 is available in 16:9 ..
and yes you can use Bouquet wizard to rearrange all your hearts content...
so get the guides print them out and read them start to finish and away you go...
