How do I tell what sim version I have??

[bubbles69]

like i said before did you buy it as a clone? or pick it up just as a dreambox not knowing weather clone or orig?

"I don't think so as it has the fan and heat sink on the cpu"

The thing is if I use telnet and type the following:

ipkg list | grep secondstage

I get this:

dreambox-secondstage - 76-r0 - Dreambox second stage bootloader
dreambox-secondstage - 75-r0 -
root@dm800:~#

When I press and hold the standby button on at boot and type the IP displayed on the front panel in to firefox, I get this:

Product Name DM800
Booloader version Dreambox Second Stage Loader BUILD #72, built 20090303
Flash Size 64 MB
Production Date (YYYY/MM/DD) 2009/04/30

and so on. Which to me is saying it's BL72 on one hand and BL75 & BL76 from Telnet????

It seems that there is no easy way to check but here's some handy hints which I've pickup on the way. (CLONES ONLY)

1.) Using telnet when booted can report the wrong bootloader.
2.) When holding the standby button on at boot will only see the boot loader version the flash image is using. (so I'm told anyway)
3.) If your DM800 had a sim2 (clone) in it you should have a sticker on the bottom saying so, if it does not then it will most likely be sim1 (which can use upto BL72, see below).
4.) Your DM800 can show a BL69 but could actually take upto a BL72. If it is sim 1 then you just have to go with a BL70 image then BL72 image till you get errors, then just go back one step.

I now know I have a sim 1 so my next question is should I buy a sim 2.01 (or this Ferrari sim) and is it really worth bothering with? I mean what will I gain from it as it seems most images are patched anyway?

I have a DM800 I bought off eby (was cable but changed the tuner for sat).

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've searched all day and cannot find the answer.

How can I check what sim version I have, I don't see any gold stickers on the base of the unit but I have managed to find out it has bl75 via a telnet command.

Any help on this would be great and I'm sure other will also find it helpfull.

Thanks for any help on this in advance.

When you power the box, give extra attention to what is displayed on the front LED panel.
On my box it is displayed there in small characters.
May be this explanation will help. Cheers
