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.
All Informations about scanning for new Stations and cables.xml and scan.conf
is here.
