I think this has a DBS Tuner?? from looking at the spec. I dont know anthing about these type of boxes. Have tried to find the DW2.1 image but cant find it anywhere. Grateful if anyone knows where i can get this as I'm hoping to have this sorted for my friend today as i'm off on hols tomorrow
Thanks,
Mel

 

Alright lads,
I loaded the new Image from this discussion, the new Image is up and i have all the channels there but they are not loading.
Can someone please let me know what i am supposed to do or what i am doing wrong etc
Thanks
PM the images and step by step if you have it please.

 

Why don't you skip the ntl and go for sky. you get alot more channels and no subscription is needed. Visit EUCardsharing.

 

Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd let you know i done another reflash this afternoon for the 100th time i'd say and it has finally worked. All stations are now appearing and are perfect. Left it for the last hour and it fine.

Thanks a mill Hamster for all your help

The key to remember is to click no to flash erase.

This has been a major mistake made by numerous people previous to yourself.

Glad you got it fixed.

Hello peeps after scouring this forum from page 1 of this thread i've picked up loads of help and decided to buy a dreambox 500-c and have a go at flashing the thing my self.. I couldn't get hold of a null-modem cable.. maplin out of stock !! so had a go at flashing it over FTP.. It got stuck near the end of the flash and froze for about 10 mins.. I flashed it using the guide fromHere

After pulling the plug from the dreambox, and the PC, i'm left with a dreambox that turns on... then turns off about 2 mins later..

Can i still go down the null modem cable root ? Or am i fluffed ?

 

Null modem will recover it no problem. This is the safest way to do it.

By doing ftp and it freezing the image is not fully installed therefor you wont get an active I.P address. Simply get the null modem cable and upload the appropriate image.

Then you will be in business.

Cheers

Ps A cheap wee cable for u.

Nice one mate... just cheered me up no-end.

Most of the stuff on here that's helped me so far has come from you, so many thanks...

big respect

 

No probs thats why we're here aint it.

Let me know how you get on.

Quick questions guys.

Once i flash my box via cable. I then scan for the channels.

Is this a permanant fix or will i have to keep updating it?

 

Permenant fix.

As said in previous posts.

 

cheers for the link.... cheep..cheep

 

MEL27 - This is not your box, it is your signal. My box atopped working there after months of perfection, i also tried a second box and a second house but with the same problem so it is not your box but the signal. Either NTL are doing tests on certain transponders or they've got a screw up for the dreambox

 

Not true asMel mentioned she got her box going.

If your having problems try reflashing.

Then come back and comment.

 

cgscott / chris....

thanks alot mate;

after a failed ftp flash.. i got hold of a null-modem cable and succesfully flashed my box with your image and fixed it

I recommend anyone new to this to get yourself a null-modem cable and follow this guys tips FROM HERE...(scroll down to null-modem fix) he knows what he's on about.

I'm that impressed.. it's friday night and instead of going out on the beer in town, i'm sitting here tinkering with hundreds of new cable channels

thanks for your time fella

 

Repeated may a time,

This image works uk and Ire.

Those who cant get it working are making a simple mistake....

Simple fix....

Thats what i uploaded.

Cheers

Chris

 

Happy you got it sorted.

Post a message explaining where you went wrong.

Let other people learn from your mistakes....

You tried the ftp way first but the null modem is the safest way.

Type up how you done this so other newbies can understand.

Cheers

Chris

 

If you accidently flas erased it just start again? i treid the same box in a different house and it worked fine, just not in mine or my friends

 

Click NO to flash erase,

Simple.
