Hi Guys,
Just to say, very impressed so far with communication and delivery of 500c from dvbseller. Ordered my box 26th Aug 8.22PM and has arrived in London DHL office today 29th Aug at 12:36. Worth paying the extra few quid via DHL if you're in a rush.
Will keep all posted on my progress of getting box ready. Hoping all will go well.
A big thanks to all so far who have helped me getting the s/w and info ready, especially cgscott (cheers mate).
Just to re-cap, here are the steps I'm going to follow to get my box up and running. (please correct me if i'm going wrong anywhere).

Steps to flash 500C
I'm in London (Virgin Media Cable area). Have been advised to do following:
1) As a pre-check of box before doing any flashing etc, switch on box and ensure cabling and signal ok, i.e. check to see if all FTA channels work.
2) If ok, flash 500c with latest Digital Kaos v1.1 image i.e. Digital Kaos - Downloads - Digital Kaos v1.1 Image for Dm500 C/S/T using Dreamup method as per devilfish's instructions i.e. http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ox-dreamup-33/
3) In my case I will the communicate to Dreambox via IP, i.e. via patch cable from Router. Does Digital Kaos v1.1 image default to using DHCP or do I have to manually add IP address ?
4) Ftp contents of downloaded keys etc , i.e. keys folder to /var/keys and contents of Scce folder to /var/scce
Links for these files, RapidShare: Easy Filehosting
5) Do I need to FTP UK cable.xml to /var/etc that has been kindly sent to me or is this created automatically at some point ?
6) Reboot box
7) Do a Service scan i.e. Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Automatic Transponder Scan or do I do a scan under bruteforce ?
(I have a services file that I've downloaded. Do I use this or will the transponder scan/Bruteforce scan create one ?)
8) Go to Sky Sports 1 Hold INFO for more than 3 secs to bring up EMU manager, press OK. Wait.......
If all ok would like to back up image in case anything goes t*ts up.
9) Use Dream up to back up box. Is this correct, where does it go and what extension does the file have ?
Will this back up all the necesarry files mentioned above including and bouquets I create or do I need to back them up separately and use something like dreamboxedit to backup any bouquets I create ?
I am ok with linux commands etc so if there's another method, I don't mind using it.
Hopefully if this goes well newbies like me can use this info and all the great tutorials provided to start off.
Anyway, off to DHL depot to pick up the box......Well excited....Sick hey, but it's a new toy. You all know the score ...LOL
