I have a dm500s, it was setup by somebody and was paid to setup everything unfortunately after long research i was ripped off by these people due to the fact they would turn off the service whenever they pleased and have me pay for a fix.
I've learned a lot from this forum by browsing, i think im at the last steps to successfully get the channels i had.

What ive done so far?
1. null modem cable flashed image.
2. DCC backed up sattelite, user bouquets, cables, config
3. Replaced DCC backup with previous backup when satellite was running eg. all bouquets, channels etc..
4. Manual installed Rqcamd and added my server in line 152.
5. when i start up dreambox it asks for disceqc one sattelite etc.. and LNB type this is the stuff i dont understand because i dont know where my satellite is facing i had all american, south asian, arab channels, i was able to watch movies aswell like HBO WEST etc.

If i post a sattelite.xml or anything that you guys need to help me configure my satellite configuration let me know i will be glad to post it.
