    If you want help you will need to give more detail
    Best to use null-modem from rs232 serial port on computer.
    Make sure com-port settings are correct
    If using USB-rs232 cable you may need to download correct drivers Accompanying disc don't always carry drivers to enable cable use Dream-Up.Found these worked with cheap cable

    If box is DM800 take a look here

        if you installed addons and your getting error messages go back to the addons menu and uninstall them ,and see if the error message disappears .
        i love it when a dreambox comes together.

              Try this version, recommended for DM800, but should work on 720
              If not try Digital Kaos - Downloads - dreambox enforcer
              Or try 1.3.3.4 works on DM800 no CA found
              Digital Kaos - Downloads - DreamUP 1.3.3.4
              Following version(5) is rated most universal
              Digital Kaos - Downloads - DreamUP V1.3.3.5
              If all above fail try this
              Digital Kaos - Downloads - Patched Dreamup
              OR
              Digital Kaos - Downloads - dreamup 1.3.2.1
              Sorry about all the versions but some suit one box & not another. DM500 & DM800 are most popular boxes & most
              software etc. is designed for popular Dreamboxes.
              Most important when using Dream-Up to ensure correct com/port is selected & Image chosen is compatible with your Dreambox i.e. bootloader etc on image matches box types
              When you find correct version of Dream-Up for your box you could try "select network" method when flashing box. It takes less than 3 mins. You need both LAN & null-modem cables

                        Jedi, think you are UK based. If you had DM500s boxes with Sat-dish there are many ser*ers for C/S at around 100-150 per year. Your boxes are DM500c, so you need a cable server for UK.
                        Am sure they will contact you by PM, as they scroll thru DK &
                        similiar sites looking for business. If they don't contact you PM your e-mail to me & I will look 'round for you

                                Can i do a re-flash using this method for DM 500c?

                                recently my DM500-c died suddenly but LED is on?

                                i cant download the dreamup cause not enough post count i think?.

                                help please.
