You need dreamup software this is the easiest way to flash, connected to pc with null modem cable. Which image is currently on the box and where are you based ?

[bugaloo41]

duane the quickest way to flash the box is with an ethernet cable using telnet. have a read here

if you are not used to this though skegs is correct null modem and dream up is simple stuff read here

hi guys

thanks for the info i am in northwest uk.

and another one wat would u say is the best image to put on my dreambox?
i have now got the null modem cable which looked the simple way for me.
plus how do i go on with the keys do i need to insatall them on different program?

everyones got there own preference on image, i use dk on mine and its great. when you go to do the keys i use flash fxp you will need to use an ethernet cable into your router or cross over cable if not http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f34/guide-how-use-flashfxp-ftp-your-dreambox-1307/

You could of course put on an image that is complete but you may as well learn how to ftp while your at it :D

[duane100]

Hi mate, seeing as your also from the North West i'll PM you some 'stuff' ;)

[maca]

why pm with stuff why not share it with everyone so more folks can learn..

[duane100]

right done the image with no problems.
went and did a search for transponders and cant find anything.
these are the two it is searching which i dont think are right

sr6900
sr6875

how do i change this so can look else where

[portbhoy]

Thats a sat box you have there mate by the looks of it it's defaulted to the sat settings.

[duane100]

looked at the box and everything else it is all saying 500c even the barcode on the box?

[portbhoy]

Try this image mate flash with null modem and dreamup say no (nein) to flash erase and do not factory reset, when image is on just scan RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting (http://rapidshare.com/files/224326698/DK1.1.zip)

[duane100]

ok no probs will give it a go

[portbhoy]

If it defaults to the same scanning options then I would say it's a sat box ;)

[duane100]

just uploaded the image soon as i put it on went to scan and had a full list of areas to search so just scanning for channels now will let you know soon but all looks well and cant thank you enough for the help.

[portbhoy]

No prob you'll probably end up with loads of doubles but you can delete the non working ones thought you had a wrongun there usually when it defaults like that it aint a good sign lol

[duane100]

just doing a search on cable uk.
must admit i like this site and will be on here for ever more lol.
must admit was bit worried but would of just put that on the sat as i have technomate sat reciever but think could be time for a change.

Just thought i'd send him the file that way - the same way i got mine!

No bother it was only a Pli Jade image here

2shared - file upload (http://www.2shared.com/file/7597255/20dc1e76/ImageBaby.html)

Works great for me on the CABLE side, can stream/record etc etc pretty easily :proud:

[duane100]

right did a scan it was saying it had found the channels but when go to view them they are not there and when look only has 26 tv channels but with no picture?

[portbhoy]

Ok factory reset and tell me what scanning options you have?

[duane100]

i have all the scanning options bruteforce cable uk and really looks like the full list

[portbhoy]

Ok bruteforce ;)

[duane100]

right got the channel list of all the channels on now but only getting the free stuff.
i did the cable uk6952 as i have a d box and remember seeing that on there.
so question now is do i need the keys?

[duane100]

sorry going to go to bed now but will be back tomoz with more questions lol.
thanks for the help
