Dreambox Ireland N2 Fix. Its Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you dont have a link to the image for using null onlg cos haven`t got other cables

 

got his dreambox back working with the null modem cable alone thanks to a couple of lads who transfered the files onto the image so thanks everyone for their help ...i know people are better off learning how to do it themselves but dont have one of these boxes or the router or cross cable but if i did i would do it all over to get it right for peace of mind but its done now .. cheers

 

Thanks scouser bud i did see yours but tried it and could not get it so wanted to double check and i got it in the end thanks

 

did a manual scan on 150 but no new transponers found !! but when I checked my channel list the missing channels were there, some music & docs, some don't show any picture & when I check the streaming info all channel names & freq are there but the PID's are blank !! funny one,...any ideas ?

 

there was a few problems with the dreambox and 150, did you try a bruteforce scan?

 

sorted, did a manual scan again on 150 with both INV & NETWORK ticked,..all channels present & fully working, now i remember why I always liked the DM best video quality I've seen on any dodgybox IMO

 

cheers guys.. i have replaced the files.. im not sure if it has fixed as i am unable to test from my humble abode, so just awaiting feedback..
i have had a look at the software version on this unit and it reads..

software version:
release v.2.0 31.10.2007

do you guys reckon this unit need to be flashed, also does the new image contain all ftp files?

 

Any chance you could send me that ?

I have flashed the image to the box, but cant get it to connect via FTP.

 

Hi SG, have you configure your IP addy on both the box and PC? Are you using a router or xover cable?

OR you can do it the easy way as others have done http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/100/647188

 

Yeah did that, crossover cable, worked fine for ftping to dbox the other day, but cannot get the dreambox to connect

 

^^^^ I have edited my post above. The Dbox will have a different IP and password compared to the DM. Just go to Menu - Setup - Expert Setup - Communication Setup on the DM and change the IP one above your PC's IP and same subnet.

Username: root
Password: dreambox

 

I set the IP addresses to the same, (edit) NOT THE EXACT SAME as the box. is the dreambox IP the one that comes up when you connect it to Dreamup ?

AGGGH!!! Have the IP thing now in menu etc.

Spent last night fluting about and eventually got it to flash, got the channels in etc. but just have to sort out the restarting the cam thing after powering off! So I am nearly there!! lol

 

Ah so its flashed then The Cam restart is easy enough http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/8/781186#4744784 but it does require you using FTP. I am sure you may be able to vis telnet but that would be a pain in the ****

 

Yeah, i got it flashed and have the hypercam thingy on it etc. , but just have to edit that file you mentioned in previous posts to stop have to execute the thingy everytime the box gets powered off.

Have the FTP connection up and going now, so will persevere for at least another night!!!

Thanks again for the help!!!

Too impatient to read through everything carefully and assuming things are like i think they should be!!, took me ages to realise that I could not get dreamup working with the power going to the box!!!

 

lol no worries Getting the "thingy" script edited takes a minute and then its plain sailing.

 

A whole MINUTE ??? awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Will get back to it later, have to get some grub!!!

 

LOL no worries I am off for some myself

 

So if that script already mentions hypercam, and not evocam, would that imply that the image was already done, and I spent ages trying to solve something that was not a problem in the first place??? lol
