cheers for that, just downloaded it, how do i flash the box, do i need a null modem cable? sorry i have a x403p, so the dreambox is totally new to me. Will this pick up 28.2e, or will i need to do a channel scan?

it will pick up 28.2 e yes, and u will need a channel scan, youve got a big learning curve ahead of you.. best way to flash is a null modem, best option is to read the stickies in red here ENIGMA1 Chat (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f213/)

Commando 14.4 (Neutrino) isn't to be sniffed at, either!
