I think the simple answer to all your problems is get a dbox 2 (two).

To the best of my little knowledge ther is no "easy" way to sort the dbox 1 out, short of lifting surface mount chips / reflashing with a dedicated programmer and resoldering. There is probably a JTAG option, but again not worth the trouble.

Imagine the scenario that one week ago you managed to sort it out, sitting there watching your telly and BANG, no more channels, key code changed. Time to get the soldering iron out again...

I agree with winker!
sell it, get a dbox2 or any other dreambox, eurovox etc which will auto update.

You can for the Dbox2, the 1st model needs a fun card and some under the bonnet work. If you know what you're doing though then they're great because you buy them for next to nothing, if not then they're more trouble than they're worth.
