    500c or 500s how to tell?

    hi all
    i just got a replacment board from dvb china factory after four months of waiting having some trouble flashing an image to it was wondering if maybe they have sent me a 500s board instead of 500c i only sent the board back so cant be sure what ive got back
    the tuner is an NXP sw22 0913 the error im getting is "error reseting lock bits"
    ive tried the erase flash.img and flash erase twice but still the same was wondering if maybe the crc is failing because im flashing a cable image to a sat board?

    thank you for any help

      all images will work on either cable/sat/terrestrial dreamboxes
      press menu/information and check tuner type

                    thanks

                    Code:
                    http://www.dcreceivers.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=578
                    This box has a better tuner and is an upgraded box to the dreambox 500s

                    and before you say it aint a dreambox, what is nowadays.

                    may have better $hit in it than dream clones and work just as good

                    i aint complaing anyway at price

                        I noted that DM500S is using QPSK demodulation but DM500C which is closer to the local set up box configuration needs QAM demodulation. Can DM500s be used to download dk image for viewing *hub cable programe in Singapore? .
