FAQ about the Dbox

 This following Pages should answer all your questions… 

All Files on these sites are either Rar or Zip packed and you will need Software to unpack them. All tutorials are PDF files and you will need to install the free Adobe Acrobat reader to be able to open them. I recommend a Editor Software and a FTP software to access and modify all Files on the DBOX !!

• What Power Connection has the DBox ?
  
  The DBOX is/was developed for the German Market so it will come with a German Plug (Shaver Plug). Get either an Adapter or cut off the old Plug and replace with a 13 Amp UK Plug.
  
  
• Why do I get no Dbox Picture via the Antenna out like on my UK Cable Box?
  
  The Dbox2 does NOT support a TV out via the Antenna Output only via the Scart! This is how the DBox was designed for the German Cable Market. If you need a RF out buy a Scart to RF converter. You can get them  from Maplins !
  
  
• What Antenna Connection has the Dbox or why does my Cable from my UK Cable Box not fit ?
  
  The DBOX is/was developed for the German Market so it will come with a female Antenna in socket. So you will either need a F-Type to Male Converter or you need to get a Splitter and make yourself a Cable with a Male connector (Maplins,B&Q,Homebase etc). You can also Buy a 2-way or 4-way digital Amp from Argos if you do not want to use a splitter.

• Will I need a different Image for one or the other UK Cable Providers?
  
  No, the Images are always the same, the difference are the so called Services Files. Please read down below about the Service Files.
• Where do I get a service file for my town/area
  
  Depending what cable provider you use you will need your own "services.xml" for your town/area. I have a constantly growing larger collection of services Files is here.
  If you are not to lazy here is a guide how to generate your own one using a Enigma Image for best scanning results.
