The open media box is dm500 clone so everything that applies to dm500 applies to your box.

open Media has hung please help

Hi,

I recently bought an Open media receiver with the pre-installed Neutrino image - no problems. I then tried to dlash the dk_v1 image using Flashwizard pro. Unfortunately it hung and now the box is unreachable and does not work. Any ideas please.....

Flashing an image with the latest dreamup and a null modem cable will fix your box.

story so far was getting 4 satalites ,and was steadyily getting there, got thor on it so scanned and got the channels then it asked if i wanted to scan another sat ,said yes and the motor moved ,but when i looked out the window it was way past what it should have been,tried a manul turning of the motor ,it wouldnt budge,went back up ladder and i couldnt see any power to it tried to reset and press the button to move ,nothing ,took the dish off and the motor and tried to run the motor and my mates and couldnt get anything from it at all, one motor which i suspect is knackered ,lucky white heather or what but i wont be beating i know i can do it so im gonna wait till i get fresh supplies

ok story so far ,have got new motor and had it for a few weeks now just didnt have time to get it up,today i managed to get it all back up,just flung it up and played around till i got a lock on a sat and done a scan and whoosh loads of channels ,but the next question i have is this ,i had a problem with my box and sent it back and the chap who sorted it kindly put the box on his sat set up to check it out (you know who you are and thanks again by the way )he put on 19.2 e and 13 .0 e ,now i have every channel he found working and i scanned another 2 sats and have all the channels on them they must be differnt form the 19.2and the 13.2 because i dont have double channels ,but i cant get astra 28.2 or the other what is it 25 something ,so all in all i have 4 different ones ,do you think its an image thing? or a tunning thing?

getting a dish and motor soon (1st one!) dreading setting it up. I like the openmedia set what probs did you have with your box? or was it your dish?? iv done loads of reading and im ready for a go at the sat side of the world, see what its all about!!!!

It sounds like you're not properly positioned on the arc so your dish is out of alignment.

If you're not on the arc properly, you tend to get satellites that are closer to 0 degrees, the further east and west you go, the less you hit!

See the pic for some examples.
