teclocker, start your own thread as hijacking another member's thread is a forum rule no no.

teclocker did you unzip the firmware ?. firmware files usually end with .zip or .rar ,.zip and .rar files are basicly put compressed files , files are compressed to make it easier and quicker to upload and download etc . but before such a file can be used you have to uncompress it or simply put you have to open it .I call opening such files unzipping or unraring , if you don't unzip or unrar the file your box wont recognise it . so you need to open the firmware file , you need a program like WinRAR or paezip to open these types of files , you can download both from the first link in my signature area . personally I use peazip , then all I have to do is click on the zip file and peazip recognises its a zip file and peazip opens , then I click on extract and peazip opens the .zip file for me , couldn't be easier . once you have unzipped the file put the usb stick back in to the box and try again and the box should see the unzipped firmware .

Only other cost with dream box purchase is personal distress and constant questions. Usually you try and convince yourself you made the right choice but after time you question even that. Hope this helps

teclocker sorry I forgot that 4shared now require people to have a 4shared account in order to download from other 4 shared accounts . 4shared accounts are free , so you have an option of opening a 4shared account and then you will be able to download my files . as for ilivid they have ads all over the place , you don't need to download ilivid so you can ignore that ,its just an ad and I have to say one of the more annoying ones as it seems to be every where .
another option is to google peazip and find another download source , you should find it easily .I know there can be a lot to learn with these boxes but don't worry im sure you will be fine .

if you need to reply to me send me a pm , to send me a pm just look to the right of my name and you will see a little arrow pointing down ,click on that and you will see a few options , click on send private message , basicly just enter the title of the message and then type your message and when your finished click on send .talk soon

Sorry ddp but i thought you meant don't jump onto "another" off topic thread again.....i was working on the assumption that you can't hijack the same thread more than once....having recently retired from the world of rules and regulations , i was hoping to have a more relaxing life from here on in....apologies again.
