you have to treat these box`s as 500c/s they come with fta pre installed images for a dremabox 500

Sorry to sound real stupid, im not very familiar with dreambox's ive only ever played with the nokia dbox that i have got (with a lot of help from the guides on the net!!). are images for the dreambox not compatible with the dbox (and vice versa)? so the nokia dbox2 is not a 500c?

[max_gee]

no the images are not compatible BUT once the actual image is loaded onto the openmedia box it is very similar to the dbox interms of its look and feel (thats if you go for the neutrino image for the openmeida box)

To load an image onto the openmedia box you use dreamup not bootmanager as opposed to loading an image on a dbox.

however once the image is loaded you can FTP into the image and its very similar to a dbox from there. i.e. you have a keys folder, a bin folder and a scce folder ....... and many more

Thanks for the super fast reply,
so once i have a Dreambox image on the openmedia box i can take the files (services cables, and others) that are on my dbox and just copy them over? or are the files specific to the box type?

[max_gee]

you can copy across the files in you keys and scce folder.

for your services and boquets you need to copy them to the tmp folder of the openmedia then goto blue button / extras menu / convert dbox services to openmeidia services

this will convert your existing dbox channel line up into your openmedia / dreambox.

Thanks for confirming m8. At the moment I have a Technomate receiver and haven't had the chance to look further into Dreamboxes since I last got rid of mine but after a lenghty absence I'm thinking of getting back into linux based boxes and explore the CS side of things.

[solangi786]

can i get it ?

Look out folks...there's a new receiver on the way!

Combined cable and satellite tuners in the one neat little package.

Keep an eye out...more to follow!

I don't know about this particular receiver but I pretty sure you can get the DM 500 over there. Nearly all stuff in Pakistan comes cheaply over the border from China and the chineese clones of the DM 500 are widely available here.

Just look up DVBSELLER on this site and you will find waht you are looking for m8.
