    hi rob,

    if your using chris's fix then he has said previously if its not working press the blue button on the remote and ok to re-start the emu. this should solve the problem.

    the fix is complete and really doesn't need you to do any more. make sure your scanning the correct service though.

    i hope this works for you (don't forget to let us know how you get on and post a thank you for chris. he made the image himself)

    Hey all,

    Been reading this thread for a bit, but have become confused. Have a DreamBox 500, and can get some channels, but theres lots that I cant get since they all went down in April. Can't RTE1, UTV, BBCs Sky Sports amongst others. Have had a look un Tuxbox and can see the codesbeing refreshed quite regularly. Any idea what I can do?

    Thanks in advance

    FRESH INSTALL IMAGES I PROMISED


    Ok Guys. Heres images for both null modem and flash wizard.

    This is a fresh image not a backup of my box.

    I started from scratch so it is just a working image.

    The images have autoroll and have scanning for every service provider.

    Once installed it will ask you to do a scan. There is a list of diffrent scan i.e uk, ntl ireland etc

    Make sure you scan your area.

    Once you have done this. select a channel wait at least 1 minute if the channel does not start press the blue button and press ok on evocam 2.12. This will start the cam. And you will get your channels.

    This is a fix for everyone and especially the irish boxes so that you dont have the double channel problem

    Nullmodem Image:

    Flash Wizard Image:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/110539401/dwemptyautoroll.fw2.html

    I have flashed a box using both methods and can tell you now that they work.

    Tested myself. So guys get Loading.

    Had a look at doing that, but dont think I have the right cable, to connect to a network.

    Do you have the latest codes for the dreambox, or where I might be able to find them?

    Try this colmise.

    Chorus: Updated 28th April

    5F01 00 1519024767228CE0
    5F01 01 8EC394BE2EE008EB


    Ntl: Updated today.

    5E01 00 F9AF1BFD2B0AC8CF
    5E01 01 5CE93B1A4F0110FF



    But my tutorial fix does work so when you do get the right cable fix it.

    Saves a lot of time and hassle.

    Remember post back if you get it working that way other people know whats happening.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Cool thanks Chris for the reply, I will try to fix it proper once I get the cable.

    About the codes, do I have to delete all the stuff about rom7 au etc.. and just have the codes that you have given?

    Sorry about all the stupid questions :(

    hi colmise.

    i dont want to step on chris's toes but,

    when you change the codes change the 01 code first then save then save.
    go back in and change th 00 code then save then save

    you must then re-boot your dreambox and wait i minute or so.

    there is a full tutrial on how to change the codes manually on here somewhere thats where i learned how to do it

    good luck

    I have not had chance to do this yet. But thanks very much for your quick response and origional solution respectivly. Will let you know tonight when I get access to cable at my folks.

    Just to confirm there is no need for me to enter any of these extra keys that I see given out.

    Thanks again your superstars

    Ok first I,ll say I,m not very technically minded and maybe I missed something in the fix.i Flashed the Image chris posted with null modem cable and found all channels but even after rebooting i still had to change the freaking N** keycode by the usual one digit to get the channels.Any suggesions? Did a goof it up or did I miss something?

    The image you need and the instructions to do it are on this page.Just read cgscotts posts.You just need to download the image chris posted from rapidshare and the dreamup sofware if you don't already have it.All you need then is a null modem cable to connect your box to your pc and flashing pretty straightforward from there.
