    I have just got this message from a super admin from another site i posted how to get your dream box on yesterday

    ww have our own toolbar and fixes, we do not need a post in block capitals telling us where to get fixes and download other toolbars. posts like this will get you banned
    Please refrain form this
    Thank you

    and am helping people ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha these need medication or something but by the way yesterday 2 hours i posted it but needed to be examined by the admin before it was posted he printed the same post and put there toolbars in and took all the credit ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

    Just got the DM600. It's preloaded with software and I have managed to set it up on my network. I set the modulation and freq as per this site but I'm still not finding any transponders??

    It is probably something simple but I am new to this. Please help.

    Guide for Flashing Via DreamUP
    Most of this information can be found on the Dream Multimedia website but I thought I’d put it into a quick guide for the forum. This is useful if you’ve manager to arse up your Dreambox (like I did within the last half hour).
    Some quick notes first:
    • The DreamUp utility is available from the official Dream Multimedia site at http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/english/downloads.php
    • You will need a working image ending with the .img extension. These can also be downloaded from the site (just click the firmware link beneath whichever model of box you have).
    • A null modem cable can be picked up from most computing stores, maplin electronics or on ebay
    Here goes:
    1) Disconnect ALL the cables from your Dreambox
    2) Plug one end of the null modem cable into your PC (into a COM port)
    3) Plug the other end into the back of the Dreambox (The port circled in Fig 1)
    Figure 1: Position of serial port
    4) Load DreamUp on your PC.
    5) If it appears in German, switch the language by pressing Language -> English
    6) Select which serial port you are using from the drop-down menu. (in my case COM1)
    7) Make sure “use network” is unchecked
    8) Press connect and you should now have this screen:
    Screenshot 1:Connection Prepared
    9) Now plug the Dreambox into the mains and make sure it is switched on. If everything is working right you should get a blue progress bar appearing within a second or two. After the bar finishes, you should have the message “Box attached and ready” beside status. You are now ready to flash. (one thing to note here is that the first version of DreamUp I tried did nothing at this point, I had to update to the newer version for this to work)
    10) Press the flash button and select the image you want to flash to the box.
    11) Select yes (“Ja”) when asked if you want to perform a flash-erase during the process
    12) The flashing process will now begin
    Screnshot 2: DreamUp During Flashing
    13) Once the flashing process is complete (in my case this was about 9 minutes later), a message box appears saying “Box was flashed successfully”)
    14) Hit OK
    15) Unplug the box from the mains and leave for about 30 seconds
    16) Plug the box back in and you should now be back in business

    this was taken from another forum which is very reliable V*rg*n will be making major changes to the network starting on Monday 31st March.2008

    The changes taking place will take approximately 2 weeks to complete and ALL connected equipment will be affected. All Virgin receivers will be updated during this time and ALL other receivers will no longer work on the network until an update becomes available. This is due to changes in carrier frequencies and the way the box communicates with the head end.This has started in Ireland already they are changing to nagra 3 decoding (like s*y use)this means only a few will be of use on the system, these guys are up to something back in october 07 they blew all the modems on the 10meg network and now only certain modems work right, v*rg*n are getting smarter and also have the funds now thanks too dick branson, and his boat loads of cash, we will not be defeated stand up for your rights, whatever rights we have ha ha the right for free tv.

    so now we no why this is happening and what they upto but ps by the way s*y digital is cracked and i have got it ha ha ha thats free too

    no i dont lie, i have a 2.5 meter ground mount dish motorized, maxx 1000 receiver and a dreambox 500s (sat) its called a card share facility you get astra, hotbird, thor, turk sat, etc etc about 11 sats easy with my dish, the max 1000 links direct to the internet through my router, you flash the image on the box and scan, all the channels that the internet will unscramble will be shown with a little i by them which means you can watch, bit like what pubs have on the football etc, loads of films. porn, sport etc etc all being able to change audio into english, now the dreambox 500s is the receiver for the card share you get all what the max 1000 can get but over 700 english audio programs, you get like box office from the usa that shows films only just gone off the cinema here also you get the s*y full package and i mean box office too but there is a charge for this and you only get access through a certain web site, this is called card sharing (wink) the fee i pay is £129 a year for over 700 english channels in audio, you dont need a big dish i just have one, a set up would be 1 meter dish, twin lnb £100, dreambox 500s £99 and £129 for the card share but hey you got s*y too remember they want £60 per month for same type package.
