DBox2 now only get free channels ?? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Tromaville · 19-08-06, 04:36 AM

Within the last day or so (not sure exactly when because the box has been off since thursday night) my DBox has stopped showing all the channels - it now only shows the free ones. I'm sure this happened a few months back and the advice was to updates something or other because the cable company had changed keys(??). Is this likely to have happened this time? Would reflashing the box work or can I simply just FTP a new file on to the box?

Cheers

Trom

Tromaville, I suggest you update the image with one of the ones from the download section, i'm using lincsat b3 1.1 works great for me. Was using commando 4 but this one is defo better.

hope this helps you,

Nicky.

Cheers Nicky. That worked a treat

. Lincsat b3 1 seems to work great. Works far better than the old image on there (saying that the old one was about 18 months old).

Nice one and thanks again

lincsats image is optimized for sagem boxes, so you'll find they work really well if you have a sagem box

On my d-box there are 2 Premplus and 2 Premplus2 channels, only one of them works most of the time - check you don't have another premplus somewhere or you could try another channel scan.
