    Default ###how to flash DM500HD ###

    What you need to update the firmware:

    You need a image for the DM 500HD that has the extension *. NFI.

    Connect your Dreambox to your Switch / hub / router.

    Turn off the dreambox, use the switch on the rear of the receiver.

    1. Press the button on the front panel and hold it down with one hand Then turn on the Dreambox via the switch on the back with the other.
    3. your Dreambox now get the next free DHCP IP address from your router.

    Go to your Browser Firefox etc, Enter the Next IP address on your Router, if your PC IP address is 192.168.1.101 then the next will be 102 then 103 104 and so on

    This screen will then appear

    Select your Image

    And select Flash

    hi alun.
    can i ask do i need the usb cable connected from the mini port
    on the box to the computer at the same time as the cat5 to the router,
    next i get nothing when i hold the front button and turn on at the rear switch
    the sat box turns and tv screen just stays black
    i tried the ip ddress that was in the network section in the box menu
    and it takes me to dreambox web control page not to the one you posted
    that i need to load a image. also do i need to scan the sats and chns before
    loading a image,

    No you will never use the USB mini Port, and using Dreamup is not Required for Flashing.

    But you can if it its easer for you:

    Manual update firmware DM 500HD via mini-usb & Lan Network

    Items required:
    1) mini-usb male to male USB & Cat5 Network Cable



    2) Universal DreamUP 1.3.3.5

    Process:

    1)Unplugged the Dream 500HD

    2)We connect the cable for its part mini-usb port and "Service" of the Dream 500HD and the USB to a USB port on your PC and also the Lan Cable from your Router

    3)Just plug it in, the PC will detect new hardware connected to the system:

    4)The PC will ask the driver for this new component, Windows 7 will download the driver Auto

    5)Open the Windows Device Manager, and you will see the new hardware installed, will appear as COM port (even a USB cable). In the following example, is recognized as the cable into the port COM4.



    6)We opened the universal DreamUP 1.3.3.5 (for example) and select the update COM port (like any other model of Dreambox). At this point, we choose the COM port that we appeared in the previous step (COM4 in this example).

    7)Press the Connect button the DreamUP universal and we can turn
    the Dream 500HD to start loading new firmware.


    So there are the Two ways to flash the Receiver, and Yes a Previous Copy of E2 Channel List is the best way to upload the Channel List, or you will have to scan each one Independantly.

    Is the procedure same for OpenMedia 500? Is RJ45 same as CAT5? What if I don't have USB? Can I use RS232 instead? Would the computer 'system' recognise plug-play device on RS232?
