I have Posted this a Thousand Times !

Do not use Dream Elite Images on a Dreambox 500HD

There Images can do some serious Damage to the Newer Dream Receivers even bricking them !!! and Dream will not repair them with a 3rd party image if you do brick it as it will null & Void its warranty.

Dream Elite have no understanding of the Dreambox 500 HD and care for the Vu+ far more than they do the Dreambox, If you continue to use there image you can expect to see Green screens as the receiver crashes over and over again, you may get rebooting every few hours, the list goes on & on.

You should refash your receiver with Gemini 5.0 or 5.1 (this been the best image) Peter Pan Neverland 2.0, PLi? Jade, Newnigma2 or other but stay well away from Dream Elite...


Dream Elite is by far the worst image you could load onto this particular receiver .... It will kill it . And maybe that is what the intent is to give Vu+ a better name over the Dreambox while helping to kill them off with doggy Images... Who Knows...

is the epg as good with gemini image as as it is with dreamelite on the 500hd , thanks

[alunfennell]

Yeah of course they mainly all come from the same Source anyway....

[patch]

ok may try the gemini 5.1 , would you not recommend any dreamelite image as i heard off another forum that 1.0 was ok . but dont want it locking up like it does now . thanks

have reflashed with gemini 5.1 and put cccam 214 on but im only clearing fta channels . i have checked my cline and its ok what can the problem be , i think cccam is running as it says cccam 214 at the bottom of the screen but the channel doesnt clear, please help

[hannahbush]

Got this far myself and wondered why it wouldn't work. I had missed the instruction to do a restart after entering the cline and everything worked well.

when ive checked in cccam server is ok , but when i go into gemini menu and plugins it says "no network connection available . please help thanks

[patch]

when i go to menu, setup, system, network and do a network test , lan adapter is green and ok local network ok , then dhcp is disabled and in red ip addy is unconfirmed and name server is unconfirmed . then if if look into why dhcp is disabled and in red it says check adaptor settings which say
use interface yes
use dhcp no
ip addy 192.168 1.8 ( this is ok)
netmask 255.255.255.0
use gateway yes
gateway 192.168 ect
are these setting ok or do i need to alter anything and should i press "restart network interfaces" ? or will this not help . thanks for your help

[patch]
