Default Anyone in Manchester/Stockport area?

I had an old Dbox (sagem) about 2 years or so ago - I used it for a while and actually gave it away to a friend. (it was a great bit of kit but it wasn't ideal for working with my tivo).
I cant remember half the things I did to flash it (I put the pacino image on it) and no surprise by now it needs doing again with new keys etc.
I'd rather pay someone local a few quid to sort it for me as the time and effort to re-learn it and find the required keys is too much of a faff as I'm not now the user.
So anyone round my way that can sort it for me?

thanks

Dont pay anyone my friend, download one of the latest imaages that support the new auto update and get friend to flash that to box and hey presto it will work.

All you need is Image flashing assistant, an au image ( from the links in fta downloads ), a crossover ethernet cable and bobs your uncle your away

The learning curve for a dbox aint so big...got a dbox going, without knowing anything about them, in a day...so if I can do it anybody can...just read around the forums for simple tutorials

Yes its just a pig to do it when its not going to me me usig the actual box!
Getting hold of the keys seems a bit of a pain.
If I put the box on ebay would about 50 pounds be whats its worth?

I'll give you 50 quid for it, thats if it only needs flashing. But if has other faults then don't bother
