    Hi all need a little bit of help..
    First off i dont realy understand the way these boxes work unlike the Starview!!

    Im in Dublin using N**hell


    So from reading this forum about these boxes, i have downloaded Dreamup-V1.3.1.0 and Gemini_410_Dm500_2310200 image file. Now the problem i am having is, i have connected my Dreambox to my pc using a 9pin crossover null modem cable, opened the Dreamup programe, picked the com port, pressed connect and nothing it just says "connection prepared, now switch on Dreambox" wich i have done over and over again. So i have some questions

    1. Are these boxes worth the hasstle?
    2. Is the programe im using the right one?
    3. Is the image file a good one to use?
    4. When i done my first scan i got all the programes but when i change channels it's slow for the next channel to come through and when they come in after 3 mins the picture goes all blockey..

    Finaly is it true that you can use these boxes with S*y or is it a fairytale..

    Thank you in advance..

    You have to use a real nullmodem cable with crossed wires.
    A serial cable with 1:1 wired cables is not working.
