just for the fun i did a google on dm500 satellites.xml and shockingly top of the google list was the site i needed satellites-xml.eu. load into /etc/tuxbox using flashfxp, dreamboxedit or whatever. make an effort.

agreed, but its not about spoon feeding either. the ability to google is considered a prerequisite.

download flashfxp and open. press the lightening tab that is on the top middle of the screen. fill in the username password and ip of your box. user is root password dreambox. ip is like 192.168.1.111. press ok so now your connected to your box. press the etc library icon, then the tuxbox icon. now on the left side off screen go to the location where you have stored your satellites.xml file on your hard disk. right click on it and select transfer. once done reboot box and do a automatic scan again

what figures are you getting on 'satfinder'. you should have at least 90% signal strengh. does sound like alignment. satfinder can be found in the same menu where you do a transponder scan
