hi im new here and confused with this d box stuff, i bought a d box from ebay and it said it was in debug mode which i was informed that i could just plug and play, which it doesnt, i have the tools disk( whatever that does and when i switch it on and connect it to my cable i get an image of a pirate and it comes up with all this info but then theres no channels and on the display on the box theres a row of 99999999s if that makes sense and all that it says that there is 5 channels on the screen which look german to me, i have tried going through the menus and scanning but this produces nothing, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you've got a German image on your box. You will need to reflash it with a UK image.

There should be plenty of them in the downloads section.

Do a search on how to flash your box.. should be plenty of threads on how to do it

Are you sure you have a Dbox 1? If so you're probably best advised to chuck it away. What part of "working fine" do you have if you can't get any channels?

carrie · 19-10-07, 10:06 PM
