thanks again for all your help, when i have time i will be using media portal, very complicated to get it working, i need my transponders list and dont know the best way to get them

For a transponders list (a cable.ini) you need a services.xml file specific to your area from a d-box or dreambox, you then have to modify this to suit making a cable.ini for your area. there are cable.ini bruteforce files that will get you most of the channels. Take a look in the downloads section.

In vplug, blue icon far right, middle tab "keys" right click and select delete all, start again, on the lock itself (top left) right click select quick op key- editor, it will ask for the 00 or 01 key copy and paste one or both, do it on a scr*mbled channel. let us know how you get on!

Thanks Willin, you helped me out there, vplug now working after the quick op editor, now i have another problem, when i do a scan in dvbdream it just picks up one set of channels and finds the same channels no matter what frequency i select,tried manually entering the frequencies but still picks up the same set of channels, thanks again for the help so far.

Are you using the transponder file from the downloads? are you any channels missing?

The transponder file in downloads picks up no channels for me, I edited my own freq list, symb 6952 but no matter what freq i try to tune it always finds the same bunch of channels on every scan (only 6 channels)

Ok do this, open the transponder file from the downloads with an editor (say wordpad, word etc) select all the text (Ctrl +A) then copy this to clipboard (Ctrl +C). Then navigate to the 5000.ini file in dvbdream, my computer/C or whatever letter your hard disk is/dvbdream/transponders/5000.ini. We need to delete all the text in there so (Ctrl +A) then delete at the keyboard. Then (Ctrl +V) to paste the text from the clipboard, then save the file, file/save as/5000.ini then try a scan. I am assuming that your symbolrate is 6952.

I had a similar problem with DD when I first tried it..

what I did ..
1. get the service file from my working dbox
2. edit the file accordingly and save it as 5001.ini (very important to have the right transponder freq at this stage)
3. put the 5001.ini file in /dvbdream/transponder folder
4. start dvbdream prog and go to options/frequencly list (this will open a small freq list window)
5. under port 1..delete all freq list that appear there.
6. then click add list and from the drop down menu..select the 5001 file and the click ok
7. then go to channels menu and select scan ( this will open another window)
8. from there you can see a list of transponder (if you created the 5001.ini file correctly)..make sure all the freq is selected (ticked) and click scan button..

it took about 5 minutes to perform full scan on all 27 transpoder that I have in my list...

I could try and help compile the transponder file if you have the service.xml from a working dbox in your area...

thanks
