Hi
Please forgive me as i am not as clever as i should be with the Dbox2
I have a Sagem DBox 2,
I have the NetID key for Stockport, as that is where i live, but is that relevant? I found it on the forum
Please can anybody provide me with the correct services.xml file for stockport, so i can upload via ftp
Also i have been reading about the rom 7 fix, and was just wanting some clarification. Am i correct in saying that i do not need to enter keys if i add the rom 7 via ftp. or do i?
Also please can anybody provide me with the file or a link for rom7?
Thanks for anybodys help.
If this makes me look confused, please can you put me on the right level.
Mark

Al you say is true mate
If you do a location scan
it will generate an up to date service file for you
Rom 7 fix is neededfrom November 08
After that no longer need to manual update
Wot image you running
Rom7 ftp to var/keys
overwrite the existing ..................Paul

Hi Paul, thanks for your response.
Last night i flashed commando x1 v10 to the dbox 2 because there was 1 intel chip in the box.
After the box had completed the flash, i put the ariel into the back and did a scan, so the system would generate an uptodate services file for me.
However no transponders were found in the search and the services.xml file was bytes. No channels were found (error, no channels available)
Therefore the next thing i did was test the signal on a few channels and the
SNR = 64-64500
BER = 4
SIG = 195
Bit rate = 0
I read the minimum SNR is 55000, so am i still ok.
Does this mean the splitter is ok and that i shouldnt need a booster.
Anyway next thing i did was, i copied the nrom7 fix in to the Var/Keys via XP FTP, and i copied the services.xml file for stockport (posted by another member of a forum in Feb this year). This file was 24kb, and copied the relevant bouquet.xml file.
Now when i restart the sagem dbox i have channels with "waiting for time",error, channel not available.
I was wondering if the direction of the problem may lead to the image, or is the SNR still too low.
The snr was 64000 connected to the spitter as well as having the splitter removed.
Sorry if this is long winded, i'm not sure if its the signal or the image.
Thanks for your help again yesterday

You need to do a location scan via the Blue button
Commando menu
Set my location
Scroll to your area and press ok
The box will re boot and be ready for scanning .................Paul
Did you transfer to var/tuxbox/config zappit

Hi
Firstly thanks very much for the image.
I flashed the dbox with the image you gave me and i performed a "set my location", rebooted, then performed the scan. I received the message "transponder failed".
So i tried a "complete" scan. the message i got was "no channels found", no transponders.
The signals were below when plugging the feed in.
ber = 3873
snr = 30368
sig = 61840
i know the snr is lower than 55000, but ten minutes before the scan i tested the signal and on bbc1 the signal was 63-64000
I bought a signal booster, because i read the forums, but please can you advise how the booster will help me? will it pull the signal up.
I have no channels when plugging the dbox directly into the live feed with no splitter.
do i need something else, like a 2 way f splitter
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29530
or will this not make a difference. I dont even know if i have a faulty dbox, because you have sent me a working image.
Do you have any advise i could try, i am trying,
I do have an active broadband line and i am looking to split.
Thanks again
Mark

REFRESH
So you plug your cable connection into the D Box
Not the Aril cable
Is the Cable feed active for,Broadband and , or cable TV feed
If it is and you do a location scan
And dont get FTA channels
Your Tuner may be Goosed
Lets Know the next step
is to attach a null and run bootmanager and let the lads see the Result

I used the image you gave me and tried a service scan, i got "transponder failed"
I tried the commando 10 image and did a service scan, found 303 transponders and 300 channels.
However the SNR was only 30000 with a booster, and connected directly to the main feed. (no splitter), got "channel not available"
Therefore i copied the services and bouquet off that image onto the image you gave me (by FTP) and reflashed your image
Then i rebooted the dbox, and all my channels were there,
I dont have any channels working (channel not available) but the following frequencys were on the channels
BER - 60
SNR - 64000 - 65000
SIG - 30326
(These results are with a booster connected to the main feed
I leave the box for an hour, but nothing.
So, i have the correct services file based on the scan on another image
i have a working image from yourself
i have a SNR above 55000
When i unplug the coax from the box, SIG = 0 and the SNR = 13000
Then i plug the cable back in and SNR goes back to 64000. Does this mean the tuner is ok.
I only have the broadband line at the moment, i dont have virgin tv. Does this matter with a sagem dbox. Will virgin tv have stronger signal
Please can you advise if i need to try anything.
Thanks
