Default Re: Use a Dbox with Virgin media

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....

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
