hi all
well never thought i'd be in the dbox section, mmmm can see why lol
ok have been given a dbox1 (supposidly working)
have gone through the section and most of it seems to be about dbox2's so am totally lost on this now
1st problem is that the remote is broken 2 of the buttons missing the yellow and green ones not sure if i can test/check the box without it, don't want to get a replacement if the box is no good
plugged in the box and along with 'Init x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 appearing on the lcd so did DVB 2000(witch i think is good??)
also as it starts up I get the following appear on the screen:-
model:9200/9500
flashtype: 00012258
bootblock is protected
ramsize:0x300000
frontend:02 06 0c 00 39 58
cable tuner detected
demux rev: 83, encoder rev: 84
bootup sequence ready
can get 'normal channels on tv ie bbc1,2 itv etc,(when doing a search on the tv)
if I use the channel up/down buttons on the box I get 'sat1-pro7'-rtl tel-eins ex-pheonix-zdf-das ers when i click on these it states on the screen 'no info available'
ok now the plea for help, have read about fun cards- does the box need one? if so what do i need to put on it( have usb infinity writter) and would 'fun4' work ok?
is there a way to find out if the box is good or not without the remote??
is there a tut for dx1 found the one for dbox2?
what files/software would I need to sort it out??
am in pure nthell area(south wales), is it worth th effort as all comments seem to point to dbox1 not being that good
any help or pointers would be great, sorry that theres a lot of questions in one post but this type of box it totally new to me
thanks in advance
 
geee sure is some reading there lol mmm think i'll pass on trying to sort it for now
thanks for the pointer
 
Personally, I'd leave it for the binman.

Far too much hassle IMO.
 
dbox2

I'd sack it and get get a dbox2 mate. Obviously theres more advice on a dbox 2 on here. I had trouble with my dbox2 also at first, (for about 3-4 months!). Thought it was dead. Then i scanned this forum for a good few days and figured out how to put the latest kommando image on it, and now it works like a charm! :) Doesnt like Sportster for some reason.
People on here take too much for granted sometimes! But i remember back when I didnt now anything and was struggling, so I'll help if you IM me. There's a few dbox2's going on ebay from UK sellers. Could be worth a look, as they will already be setup for you.

thanks one n all for your comments
