Open Media 500cs Receiver

[father ted]

Hi, i have ordered the openmedia box, just wondering does it come with a serial cable? if not i can order one before the box arrives

comes with box,remote batteries and phono cables but no serial cable

Did you mean a null modem cable rather than the serial cable? If you ask the person you are ordering your box from he should be able to help you out.

[boocay06]

im really new to dreamboxes, im not sure i did the flashing right, when i switch it to sat mode it just comes up with a black screen and in cable mode when i go to the scan services section its askin for satellites info, i was expecting cable (bruteforce for uk).

sorry if im not making any sense

also do i have 2 separate images 1 for sat and 1 for cable?

[smirnoff_rules]

I want one but I also want a HD box

I'm very close to clicking on that 'BUY' button,

I'd love to be able to get rid of my old Sagem Dbox2c and DM500s, oh the dilemma!

It should come with a sat image on, or there is plenty out there to chose from, i like the DKimage and the Pli image.

The image that comes with the box is fully working.

You just need to add /var/keys and /var/scce files to make it auto update.
