Hi all,

My problem is that my dm500c does not work anymore for Swiss cable and I am not getting all the channels. I would like to get the same channels as before but don't know how to get them.

Thanks for any replies.

Nobody is frustrated as I am, all of my channels dissapeared and I hardly can see everything I used to watch, I know there is changes but someone has got the answer to unblock and get access to the channels as before. Any idea please let us know, any software updates key changes or anything to get it done.
Thanks

Can someone confirm how many posts you need to make before being able to download?

I joined as a complete novice to research and have a go - just ordered an openmedia 500cs hence interested in the 500 guide

This looks like just the job but I don't have permission to download, looks like I have to post 1st but don't want to post for the sake of it.

For cable you should use DK v1.1 Image, nice Image easy to use, it?s in the download section, that?s one I?m using at the moment.

I think you can download now after 1 post.

I’m using DK v1.1 for cable and DarkStar 2 for sat, they are both doing a good job with DM500.

This vid will show you how and where to start _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7IOS9Yd4oI , but the problem is even is you get it right you will only get the free channels.

Good evening gents, Just wondering if theres anything that can be done to update my dream box 500c? i flashed it as per the noobs guide but around 4 months ago or so all the channels stopped working.

Has anyone found a fix for this?
Ive got both a 500c and 600c

Regards
Ross

You are not the only 1 m8, N3 (the new encryption) has no fix, until there is a fix you will not be able to watch free cable.
