Guys

I have the following setup Nokia DBOX 2 Dons 4.2 X2 image

Lately (almost a week)

I am having real problems with non FTA channels the picture freezes for around 20seconds or so every 20-30 mins

I have tried Ucodes 1a . 13 and 14 and the Evo CAM, MAGCAM, NEW CAM and mixed and matched the UCODES and cams

I also tried the sportster 1.10 image but had the exact same problem..

any ideas? I feel i have tried as much of the troubleshooting as i can.

Any help would be appreciated, please no pops about spoon feeding though :)
 
I am having the same problems, I have updated my cams and still experiencing small issues every now and again, I have no ideas other than just putting up with it for now until there is a work around, looks like the cable firm is one up on us
 
where are you based? someone mentioned it may just be while the 20mb upgrades are happening in your area ( my area is being upgraded at present)
 
Leics area, I have just read another thread which is linked to 'magic keys' download, apparently it is more stable for newer images, I will give it a try, but just looking at it now it is still freezing :(
 
yeah I am also having this problem , never experienced it before , really annoying as I tried to watch Silent Hill last night , it kept pausing!!

Let me put your mind at rest, I thought that film was severely disappointing! :)

Hopefully it will not last for long then if it is just upgrade work.

cheers

did you try a signal booster ?
 
Hi Yido

i hope that i am wrong but that link you posted refers to broadband disruption it doesnt say anything about TV broadcasting. ?

yea thats the broadband problem they do run hand in hand

and its funny how its happened to so many at the same time there is nothing else it can be but the ccs messing around gettting prepared for the 20 meg



cheers
 
its not just the boxes my rom11 image is doing the same but i got another image and it has stopped so it must be down to the embedded rom image on the dbox ect
 
i have a sammy 2100 in cw and a dbox2. both were fine till the 25th then this has been happening to me also. it doesnt happen on my sammy with funcard but does on my dons v4. i have tried all the ucodes and cams but no luck. it was fine for weeks until the 25th. my area is already 20meg bb, it changed a few weeks ago also.

Hi Yido.

Till the modifications are finished .

hehehe cheers for that :) I am using The Don's V4 v2 image... I also reflashed my box but still the same problem, changed the EMU's and Ucodes but the problem still exists, not to worry as many people have said its because of the upgrades :) let's just hope this gets fixed quickly ;)

cheers
 
Same problem in Belfast, tried a few different images on other box and its the same with them all.

if i was in your shoes i would wait for a week or 2 and see if it gets better

as there are quite a few with the same problem
or until the 20 meg has kicked in in your area


cheers
