i have to pop out for an hour or so leanne ,let me know how the flash went and ill get back to you ..
hi pat
it failed
16:12:01 box is flashing from its memory...
16:12:02 Flashing failed (!!! 002 CRC failed), box will be unusable now!!
this is what happened when i flashed it and when it finished
maybe it is because it didnt ping properly
it has the previous gemini image still on
language in german with it saying loading enigma 2 all the time
it keeps saying in dreamup box is in serial http mode
and on dreambox it keeps saying the ip address and *** serial mode ***
thanks
leanne xx

What do you mean by locating the sky dish set up ?
Are you talking about where you scan for channels ?

what version of dreamup are you using ? try 1.3.3.4 or above ,you may have to try a few versions . leanne i assume you unzipped or unrared the image before flashing (i assumed that you had as you were in the middle of flashing the box) ,the extension at the end of the image should be .nfi (example )
nabilosat balckhole dm800.nfi ,if it had no .nfi at the end it was compressed which means it would have an extension .rar or .zip to open files like that you need a progarm like winrar or peazip.

Have you configured your tuner to what satellite that you want?? You need to ftp your c line into var/ect i use a program called flash fxp

Are the FREE Channels working OK? BBC, UTV, CHANNEL 4 etc ??
Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

leeanne, when you highlight sat/position and press ok you should get a drop down menu where you can select the sat. you want. if you can't it sounds like your problem is similar to mine...post #809.

dan, doesn't make sense. if you manage to flash a valid image using dreamup then the only reason you will not be able to see anything on your tv is because your scart is either loose into tv or dreambox. it simply does not compute that you can successfully flash the box and it cannot reboot considering most of the same circuitry is used in both operations. so it simply must be faulty or loose scart. is it possible the connector got damaged when you plugged it into tv or dreambox. check all the pins to make sure none are bent.

9161lee, the reason you are having your current problem is because your dish is not pointed to the same satellite that is set up on your dreambox. for example if your dish is pointed at astra 19 then you will pick up a 1000 channels but if you choose astra 28 in satellites and trasnponders you get epg not available. so your problem is simple. your sat dish is pointed at the wrong satellite. correct this and all will be fine

fint, i think her prob. is that she can't select astra 28 as her sat. of choice. not that she wants to recieve astra 19 and is locked to astra 28. i'm having a similar problem, in that, i want to recieve fta from badr4 26 but i can't figure how to get a listing of satellites. ref post #809 and 815

jondalar., simple solution to that. use http://satellites-xml.eu/ to generate your satellites.xml file for the satellite you want, transfer to /var/etc and then go to satellites and trasnponders option and select that satellite
