By who? check and see if there is an image on it, it will only take a few minutes.
I can only think of 2 things that may be wrong
1. either your cable is not a null modem cable or you need a different one
2. download a different version of dreamup

Tried about 8 versions of dreamup. Might be a shoddy convertor.

Hope so. Will try do a flash through network later.
Is that possible? I see some people saying yes some people say no for the dm500.

Really confused. Must be some signal coming through the cable/convertor as when I switch on power log reports a dm500. so assumptions: drivers of, cables ok?
Have used several different versions of dreamup, assumption: dreamup ok?
Havent got to the stage of image, assumption: image not the problem.
Have tried everything I can think of, assumption: i'm the problem!!

what version of dream up are you using (if its a newer version that may be the problem )download an older version and try it and see if it works.

Hi,
I've downloaded versions 1.2.2, 1.3.2.1, 1.3.3.2, 1.3.3.6 and noe of them have worked.
I read a fair bit that the usb-232 convertors can be very problematic doing flashes to the dm500?

Hi,
I haver a question please.
I have flashed my image and scanned.
I have loads of channels but they don't seem to be in any order and the chaannel numbers don't match the chennel numbers on my Sky bos. i.i. Sky News is not 501.
Can't seem to find an option to sort them properly.
Thanks,
Besty

Create your own bouquet and sort them that way.

the numbers are based on channels scanned. as dub12dave says use bouquets. to get the best bouquets go to www.satellites.co.uk dreambox support forum. you will need to use dreamboxedit to set the channels in the way you wish. dreamboxedit can be found for download on the same site

Please help.
I have flashed image and scanned no problem.
I have connected ethernet cable. I have orange lights inside the 500s and my router light channel is on.
I have made sure dhcp and enable network is on.
I press yellow twice on the remote. Press nabilosat add-ons download manager. When I press OK on nabilo image cams I get:
Error downloading http://nabilosat.info/dreamnews/index.ph...t=NabiloCam(-2)
What am I doing wrong ?
Besty.

You are not doing anything wrong for some reason you have no internet connection on the box, double check your ethernet connection and make sure the wires are pushed in, if you have a different ethernet cable try that, if that doesn't work your router must be your problem.

Thanks, Dave.
I know the router's not the problem cause I've tried different outlets and I know they work coz I use them all the time.
I've got another cable but I'm going to try and reflash image first.
I don't seem to get the same blue menu as everyone else.
I'm awya for a few days but I'll try when I get back.
Thanks for your advice.
Besty

check youre pm
Hi Jackoooh
I took your advice and got a c line from the site you suggested I installed it on the dreambox and it was working well initially however tonight the signal is freezing at regular intervals making it difficult to watch any program. I have mailed the supplier and I'm waiting a reply but just wondering if you know what might be causing it as I have second box working off a local c line and it works fine while the other freezes so that rules out the broadband and telecom?
Thanks for your time.
