after setting up the dish, the setup of the dreambox can be difficult but here are a few pointers of what you need.
Flashing your dreambox.
you need to flash you box with a clone friendly image such as pli jade.
to do this you need a null modem cable to connect from serial port in your pc to your dreambox. (if your pc has no serial port then use a usb-serial port adaptor)
you flash the box using a program called dreamup which can be downloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...=1267&act=down
the image that you need to use can be downloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...d=751&act=down
a good thourough guide for flashing your box can be seen here Guide: Flashing a Dreambox with Dreamup.
Next step is to turn on the box connected to ur dish and ur internet router and go through the installation process to scan the channels.
1.in the setting menu there will be an option to download the latest menu, do this
2. in the settings go to software management / downloads and select the cccam file as well as the cccam.cfg file and restart cccam.
To put keys or code onto your box you need ftp software called flashfxp which can be dowloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...id=84&act=down
you will need your ip adress of your box to connect your box to this program (this can be found in communications or network settings on your box), the user name is 'root' and the password is 'dreambox'.
when flashfxp connects the will be a file list, click the file 'var', then 'etc' then right click on 'cccam.cfg' and its in this wordpad were you paste any code that you need.
to edit or import channel lists you will need a program called dreamboxedit which can be downloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...=1501&act=down
log in with the same ip/user/pass and ur box is not connected and you can either load info from your box to pc or pc to box. a recent channel list can be downloaded here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...1-01.02.11.rar

It's fine getting someone to set it up but the likelyhood is that you will have to change something on your Dreambox in the near future and to be honest if it's your box you need to learn how to do it. The best way to start is to set it up yourself.
There is a learning curve to the dreambox but it's not rocket science.
I'm sorry it's not the answer you need but you will need to get a grasp of how it works.Comment

Yeah just looking someone to set it up and show me how it works really. And what the best box for the money would be be to purchase. And does anyone know where to purchase the pre installed ones that mark 8393 has said of. many thanks for everyone that has replied and to this post and to anyone who can still help me get going. ps maybe i should read up more into them anyone know of any good tutorial sites??????Last edited by gracieboo; 24 February, 2011, 21:55.Comment

dreambox 500s are so easy program go to youtube and learn.in a comment above you said you have motorized dish and you wanted to change to dreambox i recommend you get a dreambox dm500s or 800 as you can connect to 4 different sats of your choice.dont attempt to program hd ones if your not shown by someone as there a little bit more difficult and box can be damaged.Comment
