Ok the first thing i have to say is thankyou so much for such a great image. It really does have everything you could ever ask for and the main thing is that everything works flawlessly.
In the last 10 mins i have streamed to and from the box, recorded direct to PC, watched live via IE, recorded via IE, changed boot logo's/shutdown logo's, setup automatic channel scanning, changed the EPG cache to 24hrs in front and 9 hours behind.
This thing is the absolute dogs danglies so thanks very much! I think i have found the image my box will die with.
Ok now to help some people out.
The image has the IP already set to 192.168.1.118 so the first thing you have to do is set your default gateway if it is different from 192.168.1.1 (it has to be the same default gateway to allow connection) to do this with a router type the IP of the router into the address bar ie 192.168.0.1 and change the routers IP to 192.168.1.1 then restart your network connection. To do this with a crossover cable just open your network connections and tick "use the following ip" type 192.168.1.100 as the ip and 192.168.1.1 as the default ip then restart the network connection. Once this is done you will be able to ftp to your dbox even though the remote doesn't work.
open Flashfxp if thats what you are using click "quick connect" then type 192.168.1.118 with the username root and password dbox or anything else you like as its not required. Next go to var/etc and change the file .newrc to .oldrc as previously stated in the thread.
Jobs a goodun! Reboot and its ready to rock and roll
Scott =op
