TOTAL NOOBS GUIDE TO SETTING UP DM500C

[shady77]

OK first up, the dk forum is THE place for all dreambox related goodies/help.
the stickies/guides are easy to follow and comprehensive.
i know from experience that when you join a new forum, it can be daunting to ask for help not saying that DK is like that, but you know what i mean. anyway i'm rambling. As i stated, the guides are excellent but maybe whats missing is all the info in one file. This isnt a critique BTW

Anyhoo, ive unashamedely plagiarised devilfish and thommos excellent guides and recompiled them with a bit of tweaking.
kudos to you guys and any noobs like i was (still am?) please take a read.
thanks

Thanks shady, we can never have too many guides.

nice guide but i'm having problems with the last bit.
Transferring the keys and scce folder using flashfxp. I keep getting failed to transfer when trying to drag the file from the local pc to the dreambox.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

EDIT..

The guide may be incorrect as its mentioning the var_init folder. As oppose to the var folder.

[shady77]

no sorry my mistake. it is /var NOT /var_init.
sorry.
as to your failed to transfer message, i dunno. i've never had that prob. not the best expert on ftp probs. guide edited and uploaded to download section. thanks

The transfer worked when i changed to the var folder.

Hello Shady77,

I've followed your tutorial with success, but still cannot open encrypted Nagra2 channels.

Can i decrypt nagra2 channels using this DIGITAL KAOS v1.1 image ?

I have a dump from a local smartcard, which keys i need to get from there and how do i store them on dreambox ?

Thank's

a lot of things on forums get winrared or winzipped so download winrar ,its free and to use it is easy too

[nelsonhtb]

Cannot open guide.
Error message indicates that the zipped folder is empty.

Anybody can post unzipped doc?

Thanks for any help and advice.

thanks for this. When you have to come back to something you done 2 years ago, it is always the noob guides you go to so you remember what you had done (did that make sense?)
