    Hiya all,
    I hope someone can please help me,
    my mate bought a starview box and I flashed it with latest software then compared this to my dreambox, the starview has many more channels than my dreambox
    He has all the red hot channels ans spice channel and can get filmflex/ppv if someone in the area is watching/subscribed.

    Now on my dreambox, I have box office channel (called live events_ one screens the v*rg*n logo and one is blank, even had epg for ricky hatton fight, but no picture.
    Mt dreambox came pre loaded software from Kev the fake, with a disc.
    on the disk I have
    TOOLS
    flash wizard pro
    d2d-dox2dreambox
    dreambox control centre
    dream_up dm500
    Ngrag setup-0 (1).7.75

    Images
    Gemini_Wizzars
    dream bouquvetter v1 (1).7
    dreambox manager suit
    flash wizard_pro

    Images
    castle 1 (1).05 final db 500
    Diorj 0 (1).3 (formally wiggys)
    neutrino UK04 modification
    Pli image for dm500
    Colosseum DM500 1 (1).0max var image
    gemini 3 (1).20 max var
    Pli flubber all set up and good to go

    can any help me sort this box out please, has kev the fake just can't be @rsed to install all of this? or do I need updating
    I have all the red hot channels which ask for pin codes but not the unlocked ones else were.
    i really want to watch the up and coming Oscar delahoya fight on live events, plus I'm a bit p*ssed that the starview is better than my dreambox

    please be gentle with me, I'm a newby to dreambox set ups, Starview only took 2 mins, this looks way to complicated

    thanking you all in advance
    Johnny

    or just flash on top of everything I've got on the dreambox?

    cheers for your help and time Fekker

    Flashing a new image will overwrite everything on the box.

    I nearly bought one from him myself and was ready to go collect it from him in Larkhall (5 miles from me, though claims he is in Glasgow) until I found out they were fake Dreamboxes so bought a DBox2 from Germany instead. I hope your box lasts longer than some of the other fakes.

    Touch wood, I've had mine for about 2 months now, I think as long as your patient with it everything is cool
    cheers for the help
    now I got to figure out how to flash
    wish it was as straight forward as a starview box
    makes me a bit nervous when I havn't a clue

    There is no need for reflashing.
    Simply do a manual scan via the default frequency of your area and enable network scan.

    You have to type 2 leading zeros before the default frequency.
    For instance 00731 in the frequency field and a network scan via manual scan menue was done from thousands of blokes before you knew what a dreambox is.

    or even reflashing or whatever
    my original post, as I did quote

    'please be gentle with me, I'm a newby to dreambox set ups, Starview only took 2 mins, this looks way to complicated'

    I havn't got a clue what I'm doing, thats why I'm on this site,

    I am very grateful for all the help I can get, even from the 1000 blokes who knew what a dreambox was before me
