Hi piopat

I set my computer with a static ip and I can set my dyndns account with my server box ip address but when i run the updater on my computer it updates the ip address automatically with my routers ip address which is dynamic, there seems not to be a way of manually putting your server ip address in the updater?

you dont seem to have to enter any details on the updater it just picks them up automatically?

the first thing to do with any box is to flash it with a good image(this is the tv software ) and also the image needs to be clone safe (if your box is a clone ) most new dm500s bought these days are clones .the items you need to flash your box are an image ,i suggest nabilosat darkstar 11 ,and you will need a loader called dreamup (the loader sends the image into the box ) and you will need a null modem cable to connect the box to your pc . you should be able to download the image and dreamup from the link in my signature area and lots more dreambox tools .

ok connect the dreambox to your pc via the null modem cable (leave the box plugged out ) and then go to your pc and open dreamup, the first thing you set is com port(this is the port where the null modem cable is connected) some pcs have more than one port so it may have options com1 and com2 etc ,i would start at com1. ok now click on connect (info should appear in the info box ) it should say box type in this case dm500 and also box is alive and speaking ,(this is the point if com1 is the wrong com port that no info will appear in the info box so then try com2 etc )you should see connection prepared no plug in your box and you will see more info in the info box. now click on flash and you will be directed to browse your pc for the image you downloaded ,when you find the image click on it and then click either open or press enter and you will be returned to dreamup . you will be asked if you want to perform a flash erase (you say no )and your box should be flashing now ,it takes about 12 minutes for a dm500 to flash .what untill the flashing process is 100% complete then click disconnect and then disconnect and unplug your box from the pc .

now hook your box up to your dish and your tv , the next step is the setup which is easy you just follow the onscreen prompts like tv type =pal and time settings = london,dublin , for the sky satellite you need to scan astra/eurobird 28.4 east . this bit should take about 5 nminutes. and now you should have all free to air channels on your box .

now connect your box to your broadband router via an ethernet cable and press menu on the dm500s remote ,now press 6 (setup) now go to expert settings ,now go to communication setup . enable dhcp (when its enabled it will have a green tick on it ) and make sure that enable network is enabled ,now press green to save and exit back to tv channels .


(you can also do this wirelessly using a device such as homeplugs ) your router should display a light to indicate that an ethernet cable is attached and you should see a little light inside the dm500s through the vents at the top,near where the ethernet cable is connected to the box . if you see neither lights plug out both box and router ,now plug in the box first and let it boot up and then plug in the router ,you should have lights now .

now you have to install cccam in you box ,so you press the yellow button on your remote ,and press the yellow button again to enter nabilosat addons download manager , press ok on nabilo image cams , now scroll down the page untill you see cccam 2.1.3 complete highlighted in red and press ok button on your remote ,you will get two prompts on screen asking if you want to install cccam and install addon you say yes both times .you now have cccam installed so exit back to tv channels and press the blue button on your remote and use the right arrow button to set cccam 2.1.3 as your default cam and press ok on your remote ,now press exit back to tv channels . you are now ready to go to the next stage which is entering c lines which i will go in to in post number 2.

(a slight change to my tutorial )to download nabilosat images or any other image ,and to download dream up and dream control center click on the first 3 links in my signature area .

Hi all,

Have been reading thru this tread with great interest. Some excellent info. My question,
I am in south Ireland, am I correct in assuming that unless I setup a cline with friends and family, I won't be able to get Irish stations? ( cardsharing sites won't include them?)

Cheers for the info

bhav you can use a spider box for cardsharing have a look here

e521 your card should get all the updates while in the dreambox but if your worried simply place the card back in the sly box for a little while every few weeks. bazsutto you can get a c line with all the irish channels from a pay server (try the link above) but it is a better option if you can set up a share with friends and family but in that case you would need to have an irish sly subscription to get the irish channels.

The box in the bedroom did you untick the DCHP box? This could be your problem.

Also have sent you a PM.
