    Dreambox 500C - Doorstop or useful?

    Hi everyone
    My Dreambox 500c has been consigned to the garage shelf for some months now, after the boxes failed to get any useful channels.
    Just wondered what everyone is now using these for, as I presume they are now next to useless?
    Shall I leave mt 500C in the garage or can it be ressurected?

    cheers

    you presume correctly... there ARE some cable c/s servers out there, but they're like a needle in a haystack m8
    Fave replies from various threads

    1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
    2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
    3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

      Useful with a lot of readings, useless without. There are a lot of needles Shady

      You can also use it as a server for Sat sharing if you like.

          No two different providers and two different ROMs but why would you want to do that?

              Keys where never the same only in each ex franchise area, i.e. NTL, Telewest,ex C&W , even Ireland was fragmented into two, (Chorus & NTL), going by memory.

                  No two different key sets as two different providers. Regards the server they do not have a working one for Ireland to date. There was at one stage.
