Hello chaps - new to the forum, hope you don't mind my first post not being in the introductions section.
I've just purchased a DM600C clone from LinuxSat.co.uk. At the same time, I've also purchased a 120GB 2.5" IDE drive (I was sad to learn that I can't use the 150GB SATA drive I have spare from my macbook). As the Dreambox hasn't arrived yet, can anyone in the know tell me if these clone boxes include the necessary 44 pin IDE cable? I assume so, as they seem to be quite hard to come by at the usual suspects - eBuyer and the like.
Secondly, I notice there are some informative quick-start guides to setting up the DM500 for n00bs to the DVB-C arena such as myself. However, are there are guides to getting the DM600C running with Virgin Media with a softcam?
All advice, bad and good, much appreciated. It's nice to see a forum where we're actually free to discuss such topics.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm planning to install the PLi Jade 3 image. Is this a good choice or are there any better alternatives I should be aware of?
