I have n*l 1meg broadband, i have connected my dbox2 to my feed and scanned for channels, which only brought up a certain few (no sly sports, movies or front row) but when i plugged my box into someone elses feed who subscribes to n*l digital tv i got all channels. We put this down to my signal strength and have just got off the phone from n*l who say i cannot recieve digital TV in my area. My question is, if i subscribe to the analogue tv service will it work with my dbox the same as digital tv or will i still have this same problem with low signal strength. Is the signal for the analogue tv higher than that needed for broadband and so by me subscribing to analogue will allow me to recieve all the channels on my dbox.
Sorry for this long post, i just keep getting held back from the full potential of my dbox and it is really frustrating.

uk gold is deffinately working and i get sky two but not sky one and i am not sure about the rest

have you heard many ppl not being able to run a dbox from a analogue tv signal
 
Try and get the services.xml and bouquets.xml from your mates dbox and copy them to your box.
 
hes not running a dbox, he has a chipped cable box however i still have the files from the scan i did on his feed and all the extra channels i recieved are not available

thats probably what it is my dad has analouge but he got a letter from cable saying that he can upgrade so i got him a dbox and works perfect


but for you if you cant get a digital signal then you will probably get all the channels thats on the analogue box but some of the sports should work though


cheers
 
Yeh, you won't get any Movies or Premium Sports channels but as Gav says, you should get Sky1 and the UKTV channels, etc.
 
Thank you for all your help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
