have a look at Devilfishes thread here For those still having problems with auto updating...read here . Also lokk here for how to ftp the files you need to your box Dreambox Guides, Tutorials, Tips and Hints

[smoggie]

Just seen you other thread, if you cant be arsed to try a fix your box so it will autoupdate,then the other option is do do a manual key entry.These can be got from a well known toolbar.

hi thanks i have already tried devilfishs but i think i acctually deleated the whole keys file by mistake?
any ideas? thanks again

[smoggie]

just transfer the keys folder you downloaded back into the same place you deleted from. hace you transferred the files to the scce folder.
If you are still stuck it maybe best restart afresh and put a new image on. what image are you using??

[will8939]

not to sure what image i am using as you can probably guess am new to all this and that is why my dream has been gathing dust for the last 6 months how would i find the image? like i said i can connect to the dream from my pc usins ftp if it is easier to start a fresh then that might be the best option? cheers

reflash it using a null modem 9 pin cable using Dreamup program in the downloads section, flash it with the DK 1.1 image and then transfer the needed files using flash fxp theres a great guide in the dreambox downloads guides section everything needed is there. once you have done it you will think is that it, realy is simple. persevere and you will get there. any questions just ask. we are here to help.
