Dreambox 500T 500C Fixes here

Hello there,

would love some help if its availible, i recently said to a friend i would help get the channels back on his 500C, i cant seem to get a way to find where it will let you enter keys manually, or firmware to add that will work right.

was wondering if its essential to have a crossover cable(dont have) or if i null modem cable will do the job(i have) and what the correct firmware should be usuing dream-up or the relevant tool.

i appreciate your time folks

 

Read Chris`s last tutorial

 

Yeah, i worked my way through it, but its this part

--When you scan for channels if the locked channels do not show press blue and start the evocam--

it doesnt seem to show any evocam when i press the blue button.

 

oh, just to add

all i get when i press blue is

1- dreamnetcast
2-rss newsreader
3-tuxbox commander
4-teletext

 

Think my problem might be activating/restarting evocam, is that like turning on key EMU on a starview?

these boxes are a nightmare for a novice(me!) but it must be rewarding when it finally works, thanks for helping

 

Reboot and watch the screen. Evocam 2.13 should autostart... give it time to pick up the scanned chanels. If it does not then you`ve slipped up somewhere. The image works fine.

 

right thats me sorted,
had to hold down 'info' to get it to go to hidden menu thing.

anyway,
phase and the rest, thanks alot for your help,
very much appreciated.

all i need to do now is try to sort the channels out, but thats the least of my worries, they are all there.

 

Click info for few seconds restart the cam and WAIT!

That was from my post on the 6th mate.

Blue button was for the dw image. This is the dk image.

Cheers

Chris

 

Hi I have followed this and i still canot seem to get the PPV channels up a running. I have all the other channels but not them. I have flashed before without any problem but this one does not seem to be working. I have restet the cams but still nothing.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have messed about with it for a while now.
I am in teesside if that makes a difference.

 

i'm having trouble with Setanta1 & 2 ....I can get the channel but after a few seconds of viewing they lock up and say 'service not found' you have to then go up or down with channel changer and then return to view again ,...anyone else getting this ??

 

It`s signal strength... sometimes too high, sometimes too low.
An attenuator helps and I think a variable gives you more scope...

Try this mate.

I prefer DCC if its a dreambox youve got.

I posted a link to this on this thread.
