Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

Cabinteely. So call them up and ask them to come check it out.

What about the huge BER numbers?

 

Your area is prone to these intermittent problems. As per you BER numbers, BER is Bit Error Ratio which shows your signal is affected by you read out. Usually I would say its an internal cable problem, but because of your neighbour having the same issue the problem points to an external cause.

 

So hold out, get ntl to check cables in house, or cables into house, or signal booster?

 

They will test signal quality from house to tap and then onto cab if needed. But it sounds like an external tap problem, they will know by their BER sig.

Signal booster will only amplify a bad signal if that is the case.

 

I'll call them out so.

Thanks for your help

 

You can split them.

If your dreambox shows probs then buy a signal booster.

I have split mines over bout 10m and it is fine but i done another which was over 15m and they needed a signal booster.[/quote]

Cheers for this. The two boxes will only be 1 or 2 metres apart. I assume the signal booster is needed when the boxes are 15m plus away from the splitter.

On most of my movie channels it has the audio description on it (Which is very very annoying) anyway to turn this function off?

Press the audio button.

This has the option of having a narrator for whatever you are viewing.

 

Alright lads,

I have flashed the Image onto my DB and this has worked, i have done a Transpnder scan and it tells me that it can't unlock the Channels so i only have the Basic TV channels
Any help please.

 

Click no when asked to flash erase.

I take it you used the dreamup method.

 

Yeah i used the Dreamup method and did the Flash, hit no to erase but it erased anyway, it is on the Box but No channels unlocked

 

Use a newer version of dreamup. The older version only has the flash erase option.

Cheers. My box seems to have Narrator option as default so everytime i switch channels it reverts back to narrator audio. Is there a way to default just normal English.

Cheers for all your help. Life saver.

 

Evening everyone.
Please bear with me!
Trying to figure out what's going on with my DBox. Television signal went on Saturday (normal TV and digital) in the Clonsilla area. Normal TV's come back but I'm getting no signal on the DBox. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi all

Ive not posted any comments for a while, however phase123 has helped me a lot in the past. I tried to previously reflash my dm500c and got nowhere. I told my partner to skip the box and instead of doing that he just put it to the back of the cupboard. Well I came across it the other day and thought well if it hasnt been trashed I might as well try again for what its worth. I bought a new usb converter and rs232 lead and bingo something changed. when using dreamup,it recognises that the box is a dm500 and then the status bar goes green and it says uploading flash loader, then it says upload completed, waiting for acknowledge...

it doesnt go any further. can anyone please advise me what im doing wrong.

many thanks

 

I've had my box set up and flashed for a bit and i'm well happy with it..... I haven't got discovery channel though..... i got realtime, turbo, home and health, and all that other crap but no vanilla discovery.... also can i get the on demand ppv stuff somehow ?

Is the discovery thing a virgin thing or do i just need to search more ?
