How do I get Dbox yWeb to work?

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone is able to stream live TV to their PCs from the DBox 2 using yWeb? I have VLC and the Mozilla plug-in etc. installed but When I click the Live TV option I get a "Processing" message and then nothing - the connection to the Box is broken. I need to restart the DBox to re-establish the connection and open the yWeb interface again.
    I've tried to get this going on Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu in Firefox and IE but no luck. Is there a specific image that I should be using? Or are there some settings I've missed?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Hi All,
    I flashed the Andromeda v2.0 image last night and got an updated y-web that worked perfectly in IE7 - streaming TV to my PC, great quality - happy days! Only problem was that the Andromeda image was missing a lot of channels so I decided to do a service scan. After that I lost all channels.
    Right so having tried various service scan options (I'm in Dublin, by the way on NT*) and failing to pick up any channels I had a brainwave and decided if I FTPed the files for y-Web off the Andromeda image to a temp folder on my pc, re-flashed my old sportster 1.7 and then copied the y-web files to that image that I might have the benefit of my working sportster image with the newer version working y-web....
    It didn't work!
    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Anyone got the WinGrab install or know where I could get it? I've checked on the priv.de site but the download link is dead.
    Thanks,
