using dbox2 for sat

hi, can anyone tell me if all sagem dbox2s can be used for sat if not how can i find out if mine will work with sat as ive tried a few images and it still asks me to scan for cable even though ive deleted the cables.xml anyone any ideas, thanks.

A satellite Sagem Dbox2 will work for satellite strangely enough!

If you have a Cable Dbox2 then it won't work.

lol cheers witchy i didnt realise there was 2 i thought there was one type which could do both how can i find out if mine will do sat. if im right sat ones can be used for cable. but i cant see any thing that says its a cable or sat.

sat boxes r for sat and cable r for cable
the sat box has a screw connection for the sat cable and the cable box has one like an aerial connection

lol cant believe i never clicked on to that. thanks for your help time for a dbox2 sat me thinks.

they are more expensive than cable boxes and the channels you can get are limited, my dish is a mono pointed at hotbird and the channels that can be decoded has dropped over the last year.
I mainly keep mine so my daughters boyfriend can watch his turkish stuff when they come around.

My Sat DM500 is my main box now, my cable box is gathering dust

(motorised system on a really good CS server)

hi marra,
you can solder in a satellite tuner and the box works with the dish.
the hardware is totally the same exept the tuner. the tuner
as a spare part is about 40 euro.
on astra 19° you have digital+ a great spanish provider,
all films in esp and english and lots of sport.

thanks for the replies i currently have a motorised setup with a tm1500 im looking at using a dbox for c/s and other stuff recording and streaming etc, thanks again
