Upload the irish10 cables.xml to var/etc at your dreambox, reboot the box, go to automatic scan and choose the right provider.

Duh, thanks. I updated the cables.xml (to the irish10 version) and did a rescan and it picked up 140+ channels. I can view a couple of them (RTE 1, Setanta Ireland, City Channel, Eurosport channels etc) but the majority just display black screens. I can see full EPG info for all channels. The BER is 0, SNR is good.
I'm running "pli-Helenite-dm600pvr-20070417-2696.nfi" image and I've downloaded a few softcams and tried testing with them but no luck - evocamd(2.16), mgccamd(1.25) . Do I need additional key files or anything?
cheers,
Anfar.

If you got a image without installed emus, keys and rom's you have to install all that things by yourself.

Hey,
I'm more than happy to try that - would you/anyone have a recipe for getting and installing these files? Or should I be starting with a completely different image? I'm having some difficulty locating various resources, probably because I'm new to the boards - sorry if I'm missing an obvious download somewhere.
Someone on another forum commented that there is a newer pli image that I should be using, and that I should possibly be using evocamd 2.13 as it seems to clear channels quicker but I suspect neither will do any good without the roms, keys and emus you mention!
Alternatively, if anyone has a working image for DreamBox 600C/dublin cable that they are willing to share I'd be more than happy to give it a spin. Feel free to PM me if that makes it easier to share!

Hi guys, A little help please??
A friend of mine has a sagem dbox2 2xchipset(intel) running blade trinity. all of a sudden it just stopped working, channel error, so when he brought it to me i done all the usual stuff, re-flashed it and copied my services & bouquets & cable file to his sagem, AND nothing, even after a service scan....??? after checking it says BER: 10485750, SNR: 22000(ish), and SIG: 0/no signal, any ideas???
My box is working at both my and his house, I could really do with your input, thanks

Do you get channels from a scan?

Hey mgb17, no channels from scan, scans through the transponders like normal, but nothing, using the exact same settings as my own box, and that finds the channels with no problems???
my brain is getting a little sore from reading all the different threads i've been reading, but i think i read in one of them that the tuner may have packed up, is this likely??

Connect the RF output from the box to the aerial input of the TV, scan at the TV and check the quality of the analogue channels. The box must be powered.

With connected scart the TV automatically switch to the scart input if the box is powered.
You need the aerial input for the test.

It looks like the input part of the tuner is faulty.

thanks for your help mgb17, do you know if it is possible to repair this, or will it have to be replaced, and if so, would you know where and how much it would cost??

thanks mgb, i'll have a look at that, don't think it's a transister, but it's directly behind the middle pin of the cable in socket. i'm 99% sure it's gone.

Hi again everyone. Just installed a Dbox2 in Greystones for a mate on NThelL and no channels or even transponders found. I tried my own box(which works fine) on his cable and the same result. Any ideas? Thanks, Larry

I'm not sure cos i don't know a whole pile about the whole subject. Its a new housing development so I am presuming its mmds. Mine is true cable. Do i need different cable/service files for mmds?

Yeah, I looked at the signal box and its definitely NTheLl. He also has a small Pace decoder box with the company name. I'm gonna try a 1x box tomorrow cos I think the scan on them is better with bruteforce etc. The Ber and SNR are very high too.
