    Absolute beginner

    Hello All.
    I am a fresh faced Dreambox virgin and need some help in getting started!
    I have been given a Dreambox DM500c and it seems from the reading I have done so far that I will need to flash it with Dreamup.
    I hope that I won't get hit over the head for asking, but is there a recent guide that will tell me the best versions of the software that I will need for my unit?
    My null modem cable is on its way so I'd like to have all the files I need in preparation for what I hope will be a fairly painless process!

    Any guidance will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

      DM500c's do not work anymore.

      You could use it as a free to air box though.

          Thanks for the reply

          Oh.

          I guess thats why I was given it for free then!
          I don't think I really understand how these boxes work then now. Why doesn't the 500c work anymore? Is it just obsolete technology or am I missing something?

          I think I must be missing something!!

                  Yes they do. They work exactly the same way as a Sat 500. Granted the patsy is harder to find, but they do work

                      Now I'm more confused!

                      One thing that I have learned today though is that the 500c is for cable only, and I have satellite - doh! My mates free gift to me really is a paperweight now!

                      Anyone guide me towards a good value satelite box?

                              500c is a cable box. Will not work in uk. If you have a 500s now you can use that for sat and can do lots. Easy box to work with. As in previous thread. You need a sat dish. Read about dreambox 500s lots of treads tell you how to makenitbwork.

                                  Hi there, try the Satellite Forum instead. More info there.
