    Lenny, iv gotten it working at last, but it seems a bit hit and miss with it during the process , had to reboot the box several times ,even lost RTE 1 at one point, it took about half an hour of going through the process via tuxbox and everything came back.....then !!! i switched it off, came back and nothing!!!
    same thing again, a lot of going back through the tuxbox process and eventually it all came back.
    Is it a case of having to leave the box on standby in order to hold onto the channels.
    Thanks again for your patience and help .

    The Dbox fix also works on the 500c.

    Yes when the dreambox is plugged out all the channels will be lost but you just have to execute the hypercam in the tuxbox, wait on skysports and all will be well. Also if you execute the hypercam more than once it wont work. that could be were you had problems setting it up

    ah he said.. when its plugged out it will loose the channels, I also think it looses the channels if its left in standby for a while.
    but when i plug mine out it only takes about a min or so before it finds the channels again..

    cheers WESTHAM
    as you say " if you execute the hypercam more than once it wont work. that could be were you had problems setting it up "
    i think your spot on there, i was hitting the buttons and losing patience rapidly earlier, things not going right, and the heat, can make simple tasks go wrong.

    Do you think this fix could be written into a new image , enabling it to be flashed and stable as with previous images allowing the box to be powered off..

    Dreambox 500c - on standby all night and still working perfectly in Ireland, showing all channels (incl'sports/movies etc etc).
    So a BIG THANKS to all concerned in solving the problem.

    I only hope there will be another solution ,making it possible to hold the channels when its powered off ,as her indoors and kids aren't very good at this stuff while im at work,and i know it will get knocked off regularly at bedtime, so i see myself getting regular morning calls this summer.
    ( what button do i press now Dad !!!! )

    Better than blank screens though, thanks again AD users.

    P.S
    Kildare for the SAM !!!

    Ye i see this more as a temp fix until someone can fix that problem. I had same prob of executing the cam more than once too and fixed it by luck in the end. I also will be getting alot of calls but lets just be grateful that we have a picture and not let it bother us

    will this fix work if i keep the DW image i have ,on the box.
    or do i need to flash the DK to it first.
    Iv noticed there are no skin choices on the DK image.
    Not a big issue i know , but ????

    At first with the HyperCam_1.06 based fix, I could only get channels streaming ONLY on 1801h and 1802h, so the Beebs 1-4 and Ch4 and the like, that were still on 1800h, 1801h and 1802h weren't working. Sly Sports, Movies etc. on the N2/N3 streams were all working fine.

    Also, unlike what most posters have been saying, the fix continued to work after rebooting (and even after full shutdown/startup), perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I use the Gemini 4.3 image, but I had to start/restart hypercam for each of the channels on N2/N3 (1801/1802) stream. I did it ONCE, and then they worked from then on.

    While trying to get around the problem I had with the Beebs (still on N1/N2/N3 streams) and others, I grabbed the DBox fix, using mgcam, and managed to get that to start, but it didn't seem to help much.

    Then, just playing around, I selected the Common_Interface cam, and suddenly everything worked. N1, N2 - no matter what the primary stream was, no matter whether I rebooted, shutdown.

    I don't know if this will be any help to anyone else who can't get this to work, but try switching from HyperCam_1.06 to Common_Interface and see if that works for you.

    Perhaps this only applies to us DM600PVR-C owners running Gemini 4.3, I'm not sure, but if I ever figure out what exactly has solved the problem, I'll post it.

    His priority list in relation to the CAID. The ones still on the N1 stream are his delayed channels.

    There is an image Lenny made all you have to do is flash that image using dreamup click no to flash erase when flashing

    when that finishes do an automatic scan using bruteforce 6887 when that is finished press blue button,,,tuxbox commander,go to VAR ,
    then go to BIN, then go down to the bottom to Hypercam 106 and press ok to execute then go back to skysports 1 and wait 1 minute and change station ALL SHOULD BE BACK IF YOU PLUG OUT THE BOX YOU WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO TUXBOX AND REPEAT THE STEPS
