    Have i bricked my dm 500s

    Hi i think i may have bricked my 500s , i am a bit of a newbie so obviously not too sure but when i used dreamset to try to transfer a bouquet to my box it said it had completed so i tried to reboot my box and all that happens now is the darkstar 2 image comes on for a couple of seconds on the screen and goes off again and thats all it does. any help much appreciated. cheers

                get cable for future use, but in meantime use flashwizard pro. i use this all the time, only use dreamup for major issues. worth a shot

                  hi many thanks for all the replies and have finally reflashed and all seems ok now except when i do a transponder scan on the satellites i only get a small amount of channels for example on 13e i get about 113 channels as before it was about 1500 and on 28.2 about 50 channels and not even any sly channels even though the signal strengh is good on both. cheers

                          ok, this is it, menu, 6, 2, 4, ok, select astra28, ok, then put ticks on network search, and the next 2, save, then go back out and select automatic transponder scan, gets the lot.

                          i have same image but experimenting and mucking up, i cant recall having to do this first time round|||
