A NEWBIES GUIDE TO SETTING UP A DM500S FOR CARDSHARING

Ahh I ve got green light all ok but nothing in dream control centre

 

Hi pio,

Finally had courage to have a go , but at the moment I am stuck on the dream control centre box showing nothing and all connections look ok

 

hi mate again I gave you the instructions ,so you have all you need . you need to read the instructions I posted a little way back on this thread where I explained what to do after you have a green line and the network ok message .

 

bt sports is auto scanned into dm500 'all' list. no need for much effort other than putting them into bouquets?

 

I have done all on you instruction but I am stuck on where I have 2 box on dream centre one with stuff on my computer but the other there is nothing normally shows var ,cram etc..

 

piopat, this requires your patience

 

i cant really thank pio enough , it is because of pio i have been enjoying my dreambox, it was him who helped me set up from the beginning ..

 

friend, you really need to use google. my mum is past 90 years of age and can find answers to crossword puzzles on google. i think with a bit of effort you might be able to do likewise

 

hi mate I see what you mean now ,it seems either you haven't got a password in dream control center /dream control center isnt recognising the password or perhaps you bought your box already setup and the person who set it up changed the password .have a look at this picture



look under login and you will see name and passw , have you got anything in those boxes ? if so what ?.if nothing has been changed it should say
name = root
passw = dreambox

however if you bought your box already setup the chances are high that the person who set it up changed the default password , if that's the case you have to either get the password from the person that sold you the box or you will have to reflash the box , this is why I recommend that people set up their own box to avoid problems like this .

 

I guess theres a chance that the box has just glitched aswell (had a temporary malfunction) so I guess you could try closing dream control center and unplugging the box and waiting a few seconds and then plugging it back in again.that way if the box has just glitched the problem may be gone , then open dream control center and try again and see what happens .

 

fintanni thanks after doing scan bt sport is there in all list
pio

 

hi pio,

it is a strange one everythings all working and i have green line to all PC,dreambox to router
the login details all ok with root, dreambox
but when i click on FTP the 2 boxappears with one empty
my dreambox version is 2.82?is that ok
last time i used it was over a year ago

 

hi mojo mate as everything is pretty much as it should be and you still cant see files in the box on the left id have to say the password on your dreambox has been changed .

so your options here are limited .

1/ if you bought the box all set up you can contact the box seller and ask them if they have the password .

however if its been a while its unlikely that he will still have the password ,but you never know so its worth a try .and its the easiest option so id say try it .

2/ if you have a program called tuxbox or tuxcom installed on your box you can use that to access the part of the box that has the password and then you can delete the password .

some images come with this installed but not all , or you may be able to install it from the addons panel , but that's only a may as your addons may not contain that program .

3/ you reflash the box .

this is the problem when buying boxes that are all set up (I call these plug and play boxes )which is that more often than not the box seller changes the password on the box . what happens then is if you cant access the box files to edit them or if your box has a problem your options for fixing the problem are very limited .and most likely only reflashing the box will solve the problem , and that means you end up having to do all the things you tried to avoid in the first place.

 

sky keep moving the channels about so you should do a scan every 2 to 4 weeks , that keeps your all channel list as up to date as your satellite.xml file allows .

 

Thanks pio ,I have all channels Ii watch but I am concern if I get a test line I will not be able to enter it

 

hi mate well if you can do a scan and get most of the channels that's good then all you have to do is do a scan every few weeks to keep your all channels list up todate , or as up todate as your satellite.xml file allows . like I say sky keep moving channels around and adding new frequencies etc so if you cant update the box at some point you will encounter the problem of channels going off and a scan wont return them because your box doesn't have the new frequencies . but also as you say if you ever want to add a new c line your going to have a problem , and the options you will have are the options I mentioned earlier . talk soon mate

 

I had my sat moved from tree line and there is no breaking of pic now .........but still only freeview at best
my readings are (if they are relevant)
SNR 95%
AGC 84%
ber 0

 

your readings depend on your box , or what enigma version you have . if you have enigma 2 ( a hd box) then your readings are very good . but id say they are enigma 1 , for enigma1 they are pretty good on the whole , but that said agc is a tad low , on enigna 1 boxes snr and agc should be about the same . what I recommend (if you have a cline ) is that you get a test c line from another server and try it and see if it makes a difference . also can you access the addons panel?
