    Help with DM500C!

    hi guys, i bought a DM500C from satsun and i've just received it today.
    here's what i have done since i got it.

    i powered it on and i started to scan through the channels.
    i found quite a number of channels but i could not connect to any of them.

    then i started reading the guides and here's what i did.

    i downloaded flashwizardpro ( dont have a null cable ) and i flashed my box with DK 1.1, then i put the keys and roms in var/keys & scce ( steps following http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...71/#post143518 )

    then i started trying to search for channels, however i wasnt able to receive any channels and the message shown as "all known transponders have been tried, but no lock was possible.verify antenna and cable"

    next i downloaded cables.xml the ones with the brute force and i ftp'd it over. but i received the same problem as before.

    i notice some user's talking about emulators and how it could be found at the blue button/hold info for 3 sec at DK screen.

    i tried doing the above 2 methods however i wasnt able to find any cam of any sort on the plugin menu on the blue button. (only dreamnetcastinternet radio, RSS newscaster, Tuxbox commander,teletext).

    could someone please help me with getting started on my dreambox500c from scratch again? ( i reflashed and started from scratch using the steps here " http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...71/#post143518 " for like 3 times and each time i wasnt able to even scan for any channels )

    im from singapore and
    my cable provider is starhub
    i dont know which kind of encryption it uses however when i got the box with the default filmware, i was able to detect channels. ( only after i flashed my box, the problems started)

    items on hand > ethernet cable, flashwizard pro,filezilla ftp

    thanks in advance

              freq 206
              354 SID 0x195
              hi, i've changed the frequency to 206 MHz
              and as i wasnt able to see the SID and such i press the yellow button ( enter pids )

              and i saw a couple of options

              and here's what i added

              Name : unnamed service
              Provider :206
              Video pid : 0000 PCR PID: 0000
              AUDIO pid :0000 is AC3 PID (unchecked)
              Text PID: 0000 Service ID: 0354
              TSID:0000 ONID:0000
              No DVB (checked) use sdt (unchecked)

              hold names (checked)

              than i save ( blue button )

              under main options
              ()
              ()
              Frequency: 00206 MHz inv (unchecked)
              Modulation: 64-OAM FEC : auto
              Symbol rate : 06900


              ( btw does anyone feel current running through the cable wire ( from wall to DM500c the one carrying the signals) i changed to a new cable and when changing i felt both give out some current.) ( signal seems fine though, i checked the signal and i was able to watch normal free channels on my tv ( without the DM500C just direct to TV )))

                  Not sure for dk image try var/tuxbox/config/enigma

                  you will need to restart the box when you've copied the file over
