[Tony Montana]

Right, i have put a 2 way splitter on the broadband cable. Broadband and dbox working fine. I connected cable to virgin box etc and turned it on, all i am getting on the screen is....

"ntl:

first of all you could have got that same box for half the price


these people selling on ebay at extortionate prices just because it is "uk ready" take the p**s a little bit




anyway...

you need to first set your location, usually under the d-box or blue button menu

its different for different images...mine is under the blue button menu

once your location is set...go back, then go to the d-box menu...go to services, service scan...then scan


if all of that fails you will have to re-flash the box(sounds hard but is really easy once you know how)

hope this helps
