DM500 No on-demand channels

[mo.p]

Hi

I cant get on demand channels working on the dream box (box office) does anybody have solution?

Thanks in advance

Well I think I have half the answer. Dreambox has no talkback (back channel) to request any on Demand channels. So you wont be able to request them. However, if someone else in your street has requested them, then there ought to be a way of seeing them (add to services/bouquets). But you would have no control over what crap they "demanded".

...welll I did say only half an answer!

If you do a normal channel scan, the on demand channels are added at the top of the All Services page. They'll be named...

563 SID 0x52f
563 SID 0x53b
651 SID 0x05

etc etc etc

They will be different for your area so no point in adding them, just do an automatic scan and you'll get whatever is being transmitted at that time.

Sky Box Office Sports is another thing altogether, there's a thread in there on how to get it.

i take it a normal scan is a area scan,,

[Devilfish]

Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Automatic Transponder Scan > Choose Config > Scan

Im not with you there Df,,after Automatic Transponder Scan > I get 3 choices,,how do I "chose config"?

[Devilfish]

Choose whichever setting is appropriate for your area.

If you're in an ntl area, scan on 6887.
If you're in a tw area, scan on 6952.
If you don't know, use Bruteforce.
