    Why do people factory reset. There is no need to do this.

    If you lose channles just simply rescan and it should pick them up.

    I am about to move house & have always used cable. Now will only be able to receive Sky. Do these dreamboxes do the same job that Eurovox boxes do with my cable. Advice would be appreciated prior to purchase :). Thanks

    Sky is not hacked in order to view channels through sat you need to go down a route called cardsharing.)

    Google and you will find out more about this.

    Hi all. 1st post. Just wanted to say a big thank you to cgscott.
    I have been trawling the web for a few days looking for a fix for my dreambox, when I came across this forum & more particularly this thread.
    I D/L the Image posted by CG back in april & followed the tutorial for the null modem cable & hey voila! I have all my channels.
    Brilliant & so simple even for a numbskull like myself.
    Thanks CG.

    just flash over the top of the old image....(that is to say
    you do not need to perform a flash erase first)

    if your using cg scotts newest image, when asked if you want to do a flash erase you must click no, else it wont work

    good luck

    I've spent 8 hours and 47 mins with my DM500c today and so far not so good. I know you probably don't care but who else can I tell?! Hopefully you feel my pain.

    After countless dead ends I finally found cgscott's image (thank you dude, very much appreciated). I've flashed the dm500c with it once and followed the advice religiously but no luck.

    I did allow dreamup to perform a flash erase during the process however and have read that this might cause a problem so I'm in the process of reflashing now.

    In fact, it has just finished so I'm going to sign off and initiate a brute force scan again.

    No questions yet just saying hello and thanks for all your advice thus far.

    Regards

    GoodP

    YYYYYyyeeeeesssss!!!!!!!

    No playing with keys, no installing addons, no editing camd_cfg...

    cgscott you rule!

    Ok as I managed to get this going without asking any stupid questions can I ask a couple now?

    1-Although I understand Nirgin aren't upset by the presence of the dm500c won't they notice that the digibox is no longer connected? I guess they probably can detect this but would register it as a fault and their efficient customer services will be concerned that I have a reduced service and send someone straight around?

    2-I've read a lot about keys and autorolling etc... as I didn't have to worry about this (thanks to cgscott) do I need to perform some sort of update every few days?

    Thanks again for all of you who asked good questions and for those sweet sweet answers.

    GoodP

    PS Shame there's nothing on ;)

    Thank you Phase123. I have ordered one from the page you linked to.

    What an amusing project. Next thing I want to get in to is my car's engine management system... anyone? ;)

    Best of luck to everyone.

    GoodP.
