    just picked another dm500c up,set it up in bedroom& some channels have a weak signal. when i had this problem with my dm500 downstairs I bought a
    Cable TV/Modem amplifier with 30dB gain with return path. However I am now thinking about buying a 3WAY 30dB CATV Cable TV Booster Amplifier RETURN PATH, just in case I decide to add more boxes, any advice on which kind to use?

    Hi, I've just bought a second hand DM 500-C, i have sucessfully flashed with the recommended image using null modem. I can find a transponder but when i scan (using bruteforce IRL) it cannot find any channels. I know my signal is OK because i have a starv**w box which finds all channels. Any pointers? Thanks.

    It sound like your not scanning the right feqencies. Make sure your have an Ireland cable.xml file in the box before scanning.

    Hi, Im thinking of buying a dreambox but would like to know if it decodes the HD channels. If not, could you reccommend a box that would?

    Thanks

    the dreambox 800 does mate but it costs a fair bit might be better off waiting considering the small amount of hd content available on cable at the mo

    Stick with eurovox if your picture is poor its your TV not the box, dream box is a nightmare to install and fix, just look at the problems people are having in this forum, i have the same box as you and the picture quality is great.

    I see that something has happened to peoples' signals or something. Either way the forums are overrun with CODE BEGGARS and i'm having trouble keeping up with all the BEGGING ie Forum Rule abuse so i see no other course of action but to close them all down, i see even the long-running threads are being abused too.
