    I had branson round for tea last night.

    He assured me the boxes were going to be fine for the time being as they do not want to disrupt the services over christmas.

    He was a gentlman. He also commented on my DM500 stating that in the near future he may relase a box just as small and petite as it was sitting on top of my flashed xbox 360 which he also commented on.

    He asked if he could take a picture and to send bill gates whom he is quite pally with.

    I said "Go ahead"

    So there you have it from the horses mouth. We are still good to go for a while yet.

    Good times.

    Hi guys,

    I'm just getting back into the loop after a few months out.

    I have a dreambox 500C here gathering dust and need to know what to do??

    Last I heard I had to flash it with an image and change 3 files in the var folder I think it was??

    Could someone send me or put up the correct up-to-date image and files etc or even a tutorial on how? Is it possible to mess it up? ie damage the box when flashing??

    Cheers,
    sham

    at present there is no way around N3 for cable and dont see it happening anytime soon, sat is different as you are getting the chans via sat, but unlocking em from the router.

    Why ethernet on a upc box, not sure, havent had one in a long while,

    Don't mean to jump in Mickah mate, UPC don't even know why the newer boxes have an ethernet port. I asked one or two installers. Mind you they don't tend to know jacks usually. One said it's for further down the road, which I take as 'I don't have a clue'!

    Don't see why not. Also to copy recorded stuff off the box to pc as I imagine it would show up as a drive on your network once configured correctly. Thats what I suggested to one, cue blank stare from him!!
