    Looking through the guide it says in technical data that the dreambox 500 supports FBAS - Obviously my googling skills aren't too good, is this code for composite?

    I was under the impression that the box also support component out (and the dk readme file says that the software doesn't support it - implying it's there in hardware?) - am i right?

    This guide has every bit of information you need. The easiest was to upload an image to the box is via null modem cable and dreamup.

    You will have to do some reading for now. Unless you have a null modem cable in which case i will send the image to you and you can follow the guide on dreamup.

    This is a null modem cable

    A 15 pin cable is a video cable not a serial cable and a 9 pin serial cable is not a null modem cable... A null modem cable is has its pins wired differently.. to make the null modem cable connect to your PC or laptop you need to have an rs232 to usb convertor if you do not have a 9 pin serial port (most PCs sold in the last 5 years will not have one)

    So basically all you need to get all channels is to dreamup the box when you get it and youll get all the channels?

    What you mean update? When the keys roll you dont notice any change at all.

    I have had the dm500 for 3 years now and have never had any problems with it.

    Channel scanning takes bout 10 mins but this is normal.

    If using the DK image you can also quick scan your area. Only takes couple mins.

    I mean the keys rolling right now it is being done or can be done by theprovider every 20 mins if they need to but they are going to change and make it 10 to 15 seconds
