Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

Be careful if you are sending it back, as there have been many reports of boxes going missing/not received. Or the seller claiming not to have received it, better a noisy box than none at all!!!

I don't think that would be an issue, if I registered it ,although it would cost a bit to send i'm sure I could recoup the payment, or may be not. i have sent an email to their rep called Mark, the box is not much use in its present condition. I only have it six days, got cline same time. I see how goes with their rep, I think myself its the tuner.

 

deffo use reg post or some tracking method, both ways, rathur pay a few bob knowing it is safe going and coming back, then been at a total loss of the box, they aint gonna give ya money back for reg post, thats up to you if u decide to use it

 

Just had a email from Media Rep, he gave permission to open the box.

I have the box on my desk at the moment no apparent noise coming from it.

I have asked for new box, some chance.

 

got a 800hd dreambox clone from china a few months ago, everything was ok with it at first, then it started to get noisy. i read it was the fan on a tread and that what it turned out to be. put up with it as it was was not too bad but on the plus side the picture was brillant compared to what i was getting from upc. some times when i turned on the receiver it would not boot so i might have to turn it on and off a few times but it never failed. i took the plunge and bought an orginal 4 months ago and i have had not one problem with it since. going to use the clone as a second receiver when my ccline chap decides to give multi room sub. i also found that the remote was superior to the clone remote. there is nothing wrong with my clone, the fan i can sort out, but the orginal is far ahead. hopes this helps.

 

Has anyone lost attheraces , if not what are the correct transponder settings for Ireland dm500s.Any help please.

 

i had to do a rescan and they came back,just try a scan and see what happens .

 

Carrickro,

The problem i'm having is that the machine cuts out and you can see nothing, last evening, i hooked the box back up, no joy the box just fell ouer, done a factory reset re done enigma, what came then was new, Tune A has a problem, at this time i'm loosing the plot, decided to take sat cable off turned of the box reconnected, and then it was able to see the Tunar A rescaned 28.2 and wella, stations back, I know you are saying you got a clone, how do you know? I thought I had an orignal. There should be some warranty on this, so i can return it and get may money back, or a new machine its only a week old.

 

When i do a rescan the channels disappear altoghter.ie not in channel list any help please.

 

the price will give you the indication. i gave 200 for clone and nearly twice for the orginal. as far as i know there is supposed to be a twelve month waranty with the receivers, i stand to be corrected on this.

 

hubbabubba if you paid about £170 for a dm800 its a clone as an original would come in nearer the £400 mark , as you say send it by registered post for safety ,if you paid by paypal they should be able to get your money back for you if things go pear shaped with your supplier .ton1234 im getting at the races fine after doing a scan last night the frquency is 12.303 h 27.500 2/3 you could try a manual transponder scan.

 

just checked at the races alss and it is missing. i had sound but no picture for awhile and i was told it could be a dreambox problem. will also try manual scan later piopat

 

Yes you could be right just over 200, paid by paypal, don't seem to be having to much joy with their rep, he told me switch it off when its gets hot, what a joke, i'm sitting here trying to get some thing from the box, and it comes back to, tune failed, and a load of frying noises so one would imagine its a tunar problem. I'll plug my 500 back in, at least i will get the benefit of the cline, thanks Piopat, i will keep you informed of this f*** of a box, I'm not sure if explicifts are allowed.

 

Thanks pat done a manual scan and got back attheraces

 

would expect rooney that what you say is not true. it is not possible to get at the races pid 518 on any linux box using cccam. what you likely have is pid 520 which is attheraces interactive. this has been a longstanding cccam problem that has never been corrected. but maybe i am wrong? of course if you run cccam in unison with newcamd and have an mgcamd client to ensure entitlement updates to the server it is possible. however i have never found the need to struggle with such a complicated scenario. i live with the interactive attheraces

 

Hi guys, basically Ive got a s*y Dish all wired up but hasnt been used since I have vm.
All i want to know is what i need, equipment wise and what i need to do?
Noob here sorry :$
Thanks

 

No fint i always only had interactive attheraces but i lost that,,I done a manual scan and to my surprise i now have proper attheraces..Check it out mate

 

pandoo1 you will need a box, a good starting point is the dreambox 500s, you will need a router, null modem cable and you need to download a few dreambox tools. Have a look at this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f...g_up_a_dm500s_for_cardsharing-846800/#5109350 it explains ALL you need to know regarding that box (courtsey of Piopat)

That is basically it, hope it helps you.

 

THanks bud

 

Btw, my sky dish has been pointed in the same place since i had sky, is that okay?
