Dreambox 800HD SETUP

[t4tonym]

Hi there I am new here today as I am told this is the best site for Dreambox info?
I have just purchased a Dreambox 800HD which has been loaded with an image ( which one I do not Know ) However when I switch it on the box says its "booting" and nothing else happens??? Source: Digital Kaos Dreambox 800HD

Does anyone know what is wrong or can guide a novice

Cheers

Tony

Hi T4

Welcome to Digital kaos.

Agree with westkill. Had this happen to me once before and the only method left to me was to re-image it. You will find this site very helpful in your quest. Look in downloads for a new image and look up the forums to how go about installing a new image.

The site has plenty of info for you to go at. Its How you learn fella if the suitation ever happened again you what to do

Hi I am also new to the Dreambox brigade and still on the learning curve but have gleaned an awful lot from the posts on this forum as I am sure you will also.You will -I think have to flash your machine (as you have already being instructed with dream up) -problem is no new computer made since Jack was a lad seems to have an rs232 (serial) 9 pin outlet. you can overcome this by buying a usb to serial adaptor:-
-to save you time and frustration :-
1) the adaptor has a male fitting on the serial end-you need a female to female serial cable and not the one usually sold(maplins have the former)
2) when you buy the usb adaptor -look for a driver disc-mine had a linux link that assigned the com port no to 5 which the s/ware needs -worked a dream(pardon the pun)

Or you could just reflash it
