hi all

i got a big problem with my sagem d-box after i fixed it previously and then it froze and then i took the plug out and put it back in and nothing happens. the loader does not appear. the screen on the box is blank. can you help me fix the problem.

is there a method which i can use to fix the box

drop down the front flap on the box you will see 3 buttons, press the top and bottom button at the same time , hold for a few seconds , let go and see if box reboots

hi
i tried it. i get a little flash in the screen on the box but then nothing happens

Sounds like something has happened to the iamge, Flash a new image on to the dbox

davesmith · 13-05-08, 05:17 PM

yeah i tried it before but it would not connect when i load up the ftp software. i did everything the user guide said but does not connect

Because its not loading properly the network settings will not be kicking in, only way to flash it is with Image flashing Assistant ( IFA ) which does not need the network up and running to flash.

davesmith · 14-05-08, 04:16 PM

do you know where i will be able to get the software. i installed IFA which was on the private section it says that it only works for dbox2

BelgyFaeEK · 14-05-08, 06:07 PM

Well i assumed you had a dbox 2 they come either with one chip or two, and look completely different to dbox1's

Do you know what type of box you have? do you need a card?

davesmith · 14-05-08, 07:04 PM

all i know its a dbox1- sagem make. and it is cardless. i did not need a card to watch the channels

BelgyFaeEK · 14-05-08, 08:54 PM

Sounds to me you have a Sagem dbox2 with 1 x intel chip, if you have had an image flashed what was the name of the image previously on it.

Read this description might help determining if dbox or dbox2 with one chip

The

DBOX (also called dbox1) is an older version of the current DBOX2. It is not as

advanced as the DBOX2 and requires a specific firmware to be installed (DVB2000).
This software is not in open source, and thus cannot be easily changed/amended. It
has a SCSI interface at the back and NO LCD in the front of the box.

Update: some of

the later DBOX1 boxes have an LCD display in the middle of the front panel.

Although these boxes can be modified, a lot of work is required to get them up and

running
