Nokia DBOX 2

j1mgg

it can seem to find channels.

when i select bbc1 it says waiting for time, then no channel available. It is the same with all channels.

will i need to reflash it?

any help would be much welcomed also guides on how to reflash

what are you using this with?
if its Virgin Media, I'd say take it off and dump it.
service T&C state that only the equipment provided by them can be used to obtain a signal from them.

It sounds like it could be a tuner problem, however sometimes it can be as easy as a reflash. Head over to https://www.techno-source.co.uk they can provide you with help and support.

You need a reflash with an autoupdating image.

That's quite a thing to accuse someone of. While it's against VM's T&C to hook up any other equipment, therefore shouldn't be encouraged, using a DBOX can provide you with a very flexible and useable PVR.

if youre going to record tv with it, chances are you know how the box works and are "techy" enough to be able to set up a home network...

if it isnt displaying the channels, chances are you dont really know how it does what it does, or you would probably know of better places to ask the question than in here... which implies they only have the box for one specific reason.

*sigh*, Of course, any sensible person would just get a DVB-T PVR for less than you would pay for a basic DBOX2 (never mind the IDE bus interface and a HDD). On freeview you actually get more channels unencrypted than Virgin. Frankly, the DBOX is crap, and the only reason you would use one is due to the added "benefits" you get from it.

Also, while its only "against VM's T&C" your still committing theft of services. While Virgin might just disconnect you the police may take it further.
