DM800HD Clone

[iKay]

Hi all,

I've been using DM500 for few years and i'm fully comfortable in supporting it (flashing, editing services, etc).
I just purchased DM800HD clone which has the below info:
Gemini 4.6
Kernel 2.6.12-5.1-brcmstb-dm800
Bootloader 75

I feel bit lost here cuz I've been reading some posts warning us about imaging, and some others talking about SIM card.

All I need to know is the basics for DM800HD image flashing please. No detailed step by step guides. Just guidlines on what to do and what to avoid.

The clone I purchased is to play around and get used to the product. I'm planning to buy 5 more for the family and I will be supporting them. I don't need any troubles.

Thanks in advanced.

:manusign:Seems to me it is already set up you just need to put in usal/diseq details. bootloader is the sim ie in this case sim 75 and it has gemini 4.6 image already loaded

thank you for the prompt answer.

the image says bl72.. is it safe to install it on my box which has bl75?

also, is it gemini image?
do i need to install any drivers?
what about the sim?

i hope i can get some answers.. thanks in advanced.

yeah it is already setup.. i was just wondering if i can use other images (like gemini 4.7 or even gemini 5.0).. just need to know if it is straight forward thing like DM500,, or there r precaustions need to be considered first.

here is link to Nabilo 12 ssl 75 , reportedly working dvb subtitles , read that 72 dont support subs , only working on 75 , so here you go

only other advice is research your images before loading , forum i use is the chinese sellers support forum www.8a8f8.com (http://www.8a8f8.com) , lots of info and links there ,

btw , any issues with the tuner glitching on HD channels , presume it will be rev l3 tuner in your box , can you confirm it is glitch free ?

The tuner installed is the original one (as per the manufacturer in China).. i only received the box today by DHL and i just started working on it for the past few hours.

i've been watching JSC Sport HD (which i guess rev 3) with no glitching so far


thank u for the site.. im going through it.. also for the image. i will load it into my box in while.. but plz tell me how can i make NFI backup of my box first?

[westkill]

think there is a plugin/addon via the net with nabilosat images if your box is connected to a router
called nfi backup,i think to the hdd :)

Did you get away with the customs charge..? as i hear that 3 weeks later DHL send you a customs invoice for approx ?50.. did you not have to pay this?

I have tried that, and when telneting to run the backup utility, it returns errors in German.

Is there any guide to show how to make NFI image for DM800?
