    you need to make sure your cable is working (connect in your normal way and make sure there is a signal and channels)

    you need to make sure the connection to your box is good and to the correct plug.

    you need to scan the best service provider for your area (i am in dublin, and when i scanned ntl dublin i got "no transponders available" when i scanned brtueforce uk however everything worked)

    good luck

    hey guys sorry if this is not the right forum to post in but my brother (accidently he said)
    put water on my dreambox 500c now it wont work.
    i tried unplugging all the wires for a few minutes etc. all that comes up on the screen now is loads of lines no picture just sound. is there anyway of saving it or is it only fit for bin.
    if its a case of having to bin it would you recommend getting another 500c or trying maybe the 600 series one(would i get more channels with this etc).

    thanks again

    Hi Lucas
    I bought a blackbox last december from the website below. It works in exactly the same way as a Dreambox 500. Same cables, same software ect. I did have to wait a little while for delivery as they were out of stock when I ordered but it works fine. I am delighted with it.

    hadmad,

    i would suggest that chris would be a much better person to check out your download, he is the master after all. alternatively phase could take a look if he has the time. I would gladly take a look and offer my opinion, as limited as my experience is with these things.

    send me the link

    cheers !!

    Hi Paul (hadmad)

    I think its great what you have done, both images, both uploading programmes, instructions.......

    it seems you have thought of everything.

    Fair play to you mate.

    post the link here for newbies etc.

    you should also try and see if you can get this folder put into eamos library, thats where most people get their software etc.

    Dunno if you need chris scotts permission to share the image though.

    nice one (i wish i had the patience to put something like this together)

    cheers mate

    Mark ..

    oh forgot to say.

    when you post the link you should probably put instructions how to use megaupload as well. i have seen a couple people complaining they couldn't get the file (it turned out they hadn't put the security code in at the top lol )

    Here`s a good tutorial for the people who don`t want to search through the thread looking for answers. It`s got a good bit on satellite instal but you can skip past it.
