[caveman_nige]

Asif, its not a good idea to post so far in the this thread when you have not read it.. Take your time to have a read as so many others have had to go through the same thing recently.. If you read what is in here you will find all you need.

Am so grateful for all the help, but it still hurts my brain. All the reading & clicking & such. Will need to buy glasses very soon. How does one ftp the dreambox 500? Have done a dbox, but i dunno how to check the ip address on a dreambox. Can anyone tell me, by starting with, duhhh

the key change does not open why is this

[cowplain35]

The new encryption system that the cable companys are meant to be rolling out,the N3,blah,blah,it will probably get cracked,and even if it doesn't,everyone will have to pay ?40 per month for all the channels,?10 per week.If you pop down the pub a couple of times a week,that's at least ?10,if you smoke,you could cut down,and save money.N3 will make everyone much healthier and the cable companys richer,.

A friend (JW) emailed me this guide a few weeks ago, and it should really help some of you noobs out there, GL

Right.. I'm compiling this guide as it took me more than 4hrs to figure it out. Everyone has been very very helpful but it takes forever to join all the information together and so, here is your guide to getting you guys back up and running:

{THIS IS A TEMP SOLUTION ONLY} - For 500C running DW2.0

First, go download a tool bar that will give you the latest Keycodes. the toolbar is called BigMAQ toolbar which can be found here: LOOK FOR BIGMAQ TOOLBAR in google. This is a useful tool that gives you the latest keys.

Next you need to know who your provider is: How do you find out? Keep reading..

1) On your Dreambox, its best to start again and delete any old keys you have.

By Davido123
1. Press Yellow
2. Select Tuxbox Commander
3. Press down arrow (9 Times) until you highlight ?var? in LEFT window.
4. Press OK
5. Press down arrow (3 Times) until you highlight ?keys?
6. Press OK
7. Press down arrow (4 Times) until you highlight ?Keylist.txt?
8. Press 4 (to edit the file)
9. Delete ALL the lines by pressing the RED button.. YES all the lines..

10. Once you have deleted all the lines, press the EXIT button on the remote and save.
11. Keep exiting / saving untill you are back onto your blank screen.

Now we need to update your keys given to you by your Provider (Virgin etc). By doing this update, it will give you a hint of who your old provider was:

By Boxfrog

1. Go to a blank channel that was working.
2. Press the blue button
3. Now click ok to restart your EM CAMD 2.12
4. Leave it around 1min.
This has now created some new keys. Looking at these keys you only need to change the part that is incorrect by verifying on the toolbar you downloaded. There will only be a max of around 1 or 2 digits that is wrong.

3) Go back into TuxCommander to your keyfile.txt (follow the above instructions to get to the key file)
4) Match the key to the BigMAQ's toolbar keys that are updated regularly. Go through all the providers on the toolbar and match the one that closets resembles your current key.
5) Save and exit
6) Now you need to disable autoupdate ensuring you dont loose what you have changed..

(Additional, they just tell you to download keymaster now, get it at this link: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ys-here-12850/ )
