Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

Go to manual scan, type 00291 for the frequency, enable 64qam, enable network search ONIT BAT, start the scan.

 

Nothing again i'm afraid, is it worth flashing again?

 

Type additionally 06887 for the symbol rate.

I followed this tutorial, its flashing OK, it finds transponder but does not find any channels, i tried manual scan with 06887, still no joy??????

 

Are you sure you cable feed is alive.

 

Yes, i have a starv**w box which shows all channels when connected to the same cable. Is it possible this is a clone box, would it flash at all if it was?

 

Only newer gemini images are killing clone dreamboxes and after that such a box is really dead.
Do you get something at the bar for signal strength in the manual scan menu at 291 mhz?
Btw you have to type the leading zeroes for 00291 at a 500c box or you get 29,100 instead of 291.

 

If you have a clone box and have flashed with an inappropriate image could mean that the box is now undetectable. There are loads of clone boxes out there and if you read other threads here you will see the complications givin by these. If the wrong image is flashed then the boxes can be fried so to speak.

hope this isnt the problem your havin but if it is then

SORRY MATE.

Cheers

Thanks for help. I typed the leading zeros. The fact that the box flashes OK and i can get a menu, etc. Would this suggest that it is not 'dead'. Where is the bar strenth? I don't have the box connected at the mement, but i was seeing 71% and 99% in two bars at the bottom of the screen, are these the strengthy?

 

A killed clone dreambox give nothing anymore. No lights, no menus, absolute nothing.
Do you get n*l cable, n*l mmds or ch*rus cable?

 

Hi, everyone my DW 2.0 Image is working fine, thank you for the instructions.


Thanks Robert

 

Yes, i've got cable, mmds, bruteforce. I've tried them all, even some of the UK ones, finds nothing. Surely someone has seen this before??

 

Maybe the tuner is faulty.

 

Yest this has been seen before. When using a null modem cable when asked to flash erase you must click no. If you click yes you end up with the basic image again.

Dreamup asks you this after youve selected the image you wish to install. Always clcik NO to flash erase.

 

OK, i've tried this and it still didn't work. I've acepted defeat and finally given up, i threw the box in the bin today. Thanks for help.

 

oh no dotn do that i was todl it was one of the best boxes out there. You jsut gotta persevere. Ok i didnt do mine but a friend got it to work for me floolwed CGSCOTTS advise and got it working so doing give up hope mate! it might be complicated and yes one of the probs i think was people were erasing stuff they shoudlnt - jsut all got confusing but you will fidn that most people on here managed to get the D boxes up and running again. Im sure if you look back at posts you WILL find the answers go thro it slowley step by step - maybe if you cotnact CGSCOTT he may be able to help you further - he is a good bloke!
