    Hi All

    I have a dreambox 500c, I am using an image created cgscott. I have followed the instructions. I have done a bruteforce uk scan and it finds a transponder. I then start a scan for channels and it only finds one channel which is 587 SID 0x0b. Am I doing anything wrong?

    I am a complete noob with this.

    Thanks for yor help.

    i am not sure if it is worth mentioning but I am based in England and was an old TVest customer. I currently use a cable provider for internet access.

    Why don't you check if your provider box works first, then test your box.

    I'd heard from afew people that you need the basic package. I doubt anything other than that will work.
