Hi all. I?ve recently set-up a dreambox to pick-up Ch0ru$ MMDS. While it wasn?t too straight forward I received great advice from some of you guys on this forum which made it very worthwhile. So I?m back with a few more questions!
I?m now planning to set up a box for my brother. He has a ch0ru$ coaxial cable which feeds into his house, but it has not been used since the old analogue black boxes were around. As he doesn?t have a subscription from ch0ru$ will they know if he is tapping into their signal (i.e. does he need to subscribe to a basic package to get away with it)? Also, what is the most reliable box for ch0ru$ (cable) in the Cork area?

Just got a dreambox 500 c. Read some posts which indicated I would be able to get channels IF I SUBCRIBE to a basic cable package. If this is right please confirm. I have all the book of words and the idiots guide to setting it up ( all on 1 page ). I am in Cork and have the connection comming into the house--just have not got around to signing on for Chorus. Please advise Thanks.

nokia or sagem? what image?
A sagem really should have blade on it, running gbox, 001A works best. on nokias I find evocam, nagra 7 only enabled, and ucode 001A works best. I run the latest blade on my nokias & sagems now.
ruprect it's a Sagem not too sure what image is on it to.... Could you post where to get the Blade if you have it handy please?

Guys, my Sagem dbox2 has started freezing again on me. Somtimes it fixes itself but sometimes it doesnt. Im using Blade image V2. Would you recommend flashing Blade image Final instead? I thought it might have been the weather. Based in Dublin on NT£

Am not getting anywhere in a hurry. Have dreambox 500 c. Have NOT got a clue what people are talking about with "flashing" "download" Can I just plug my system in and have it show me T.V. SPORTS AND MOVIES from chorus in Cork. I have not got an account with chorus yet--if I get a basic package from chorus, plug in my DM 500 c box. Do a scan and be away to the races.

I realise this started off as a forum about the N0kia DBox, so I might get a rather biased reply, but here goes anyway. My brother has a ch0rus true cable (not MMDS) connection in the cork city area and plan to buy a receiver to pick up as much digital channels as possible. Buying a dreambox was recommended to me, but the 500-c is no longer being sold (only clones available) and the 600PVR is rather costly. There is a huge host of receivers out there (Starview, DBox 2, Eurovox etc) so I?m finding it difficult to choose the best one for my situation. Ideally the receiver should be:
- easy to set-up,
- future proof, and
- reasonably priced.
I realise this seems like a question which may have been asked in different forms before, but having done a lot of searching I?m yet to find a comprehensive comparison of receivers. If anyone as got one working in the cork area I would be extremely grateful if you could let me know how difficult it was. Cheers.

it depends where in cor you are as some areas in cork are true cable for whch the 500 C works fine however if you are on mmds you will need a t tunner ie a 500 T or 600T,basic package with the right box will give you all the channels

plug the cable straight into the back of the tv no box or anything and see what channels you get,if your mmds you would also have a wire mesh antenna on your roof

Can anyone help me set up a DBox2 in Kilkenny please? Bought a preloaded one from Germany on eBay with Sportster loaded. Supposedly it was plug, scan and play. Ran a service scan but it did not pick up on any channels and couldn't see any transponders. Brother tried to help via phone by changing services.xml but I think this was a Dublin file. Going completely ga-ga now and mad at the thought of wasted 200 Euro. REALLY want to get it up and running... I have Chorus digital subscription.
I am new to all this so I would really appreciate any help. Tried to access some services.xml files from previous pages on this forum but sites cannot find the files.
Thanks!

Hiya, my box is a Nokia. Emailed the supplier and he said that I just need the Chorus frequency and symbol rate. I got the frequency from the Chorus box by my TV but don't know what the symbol rate is and don't know if this will work anyway?
It definitely is Chorus digital on cable and not MMDS. Will check out techno source site but in the meantime if anyone can help I would be extremely grateful!!

As far as i know Kilkenny get the chorus mmds signal via an central mmds mast with receiving antenna.
Check a subscriber box for digital. If you read ITD at the sticker underneath of the sagembox its chorus mmds.

Thanks so much for helping, mgb17. I checked the Sagem Chorus box and is does in fact say ITD60 CH. So I have MMDS then? Even though I receive the Chorus digital service, ie Chorus Digital sport, on monthly bill? How will this affect getting my DBox2 to work so?

You need a device with dvb-t tuner. The cable dbox2 is only good for dvb-c.
