Many thanks for the dreamup guide.I now know I have been using the wrong cable. I will try to flash again when I get the null modem cable.

Hi Guys back again,
I got my 500c today from DVBMonkey but the power adapter does,nt work.
So i found an adapter from an old router and it fits ok.I flashed a working image I found on the net and got it working using the instructions on this thread and this fourm.If I want to replace the image with the Digital kaos one do I press flash erase on the Dreamup program or just Flash.I have;nt got around to the fpt bit yet thats why I used a working image,but I plan to do it when I get a crossover cable.
Thanks for all the great info here and will keep you informed on the ftp jobbie......
