    Can I use a T-mobile USB stick for CS?

    Just moved house and don't have BB set up yet. Just wondering if I can stick my t mobile USB stick into the dm800 for CS facilities?

    Thanks

    i had to use my meteor dongle in a hub to get my broadband,interesting idea but i would have thought it would have to go through the lan connection,maybe a different ip also?

        If you have a pc/mac. You can use the dongle in the mac/pc then share the internet connection over LAN.

        When I was without internet I had to tether from my iPhone to my mac then shared the internet connection via LAN from my mac to DM500.

        Works

          M8 if you search you will find lots of threads on this, you will need a 3g router and you will be good to go and if you get a good signal it will be no problem

                  You need to put your 3g dongle into your computer and get it connecting to the net as normal. You then need to run an ethernet cable from your dreambox to your computer, after this you need to go into the settings in windows and turn on the internet sharing option of your internet connection. You will have to google for this as its not easy to expalin how to do it.
