    Little black box is the power supply for the downconverter on your ariel, cable from ariel goes to 'ANT' side and other to dreambox, DO NOT MIX THESE Up or it will blow the tuner in yor 500t!
    when connected scan for chanels on chxxus mmds and see does it lock on to a transponder, if it dont, either something wrong with your setup or tuner is fooked!

    if your mate has one working, backup the image from his box using 'dreamup' saving the file as a .img file - eg: backup.img, then flash that backup image to your unit using dreamup again!
