    Hi, I have successfully flashed my box in the past, thanks to the help of Markarman and Cscott. The last time I did it was May, I lost the movie channels during the summer (dreaded nagra I think) but continued to use the box for kids cartoon channels and music etc. However in the last couple of weeks these are all just showing a black screen with programme details so all i have are about 6 basic channels. Am I goosed, should I consign my box to the scrap heap or is there a more up to date image that I can still get what I had a couple of weeks ago? I'm in Dublin thanks in advance.

    Guys the AU Fix included in the image i uploaded in May has not changed.

    Unless you are in ireland and leeds UK. Then all you need to do is reflash your boxes.

    Also you will need to start the cam when you do so.

    Use deamup to flash and click no to flash erase. Unless you are in the 2 locations stated there is no problems anywhere else.

    Hi Miarach. I am in Dublin too. Yeah its the end of the line :( for the time being at least. Nearly all channels gone here too. The Ntl basic digital package is only €5 per month dearer than the standard analogue package. I think I am going down that road.
    Happy Xmas everybody

    I thought as much mossymor but was hoping against hope! I have the digital n*l basic package, very handy for taping, pausing etc but for general tv i always used the dreambox as it is easier to change channels and see whats on. There is a time delay with the digital when changing channels, using the guide or menu which drives me to distraction! but otherwise it looks like i.m stuck with it. Hope this helps, happy xmas everyone.

    I recently had the "man" in as I had trouble with my signal. I was going to get another box off him but he told me to hold off until about half way through january as the prices are going to drop considerably.
    Happy Christmas everybody from Galway, Ireland.

    Hi All,

    I have a 500c which like many here was working. Currently I have only RTE1 and maybe 3 other crap channels viewable.

    Is it possible to use the 500c in a similar way to a freeview box to get the channels that N*L basic package (in dublin) provides?

    I Don't think so. NTL are encoding more and more channels with nagra3. As i said b4 an extra €5 a month on the basic analog package will upgrade you to digital with all the channels apart from Sky movies sky sports etc. Until someone cracks N3 ( no time soon)thats your other option.
