gary when i installed a new channel list on my dm500s i noticed that there was no rte 1 or 2 in the the bouqets either but (if using same image) if you press green button which bring up satellite choice and pick 28e (sky) and go through channels you might find them that way. Add them to a bouqet then if you like- thats if you found them, i got my settings from the same site you have the link to so im assuming this might be the case.

Thanks a lot for that, just wondering how did you install the channel list? I can't go near it at the moment as the folks are getting the hang of multiroom :)

Hi everybody,

I am a Sri Lankan who is new to Dreambox and this forum. Can anyone please tell me what is a "Cline" and how to get it? Is it something like a subscription?

example of cline , C:afterdawn.dyndns.ws 12000 robert share1 ,a friend could give you a cline like above if he was setup for card sharing you then put this in to your dreambox (or what ever box you have)enabling you to share his subscription channels. you can also purchase a c line on various sites ( i advise reading up on all this stuff first) before buying anything.

what exactly do you mean carrick? when you do the auto scan how many stations does it say you got? have you made sure you pressed the bottom left button of the dream remote which says TV..... you might have pressed the radio button that is next to it and thats why you ccant see anything.

i see, other forums might have detailed guides on this try here somewhere-[url=http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dreambox800/][/url] but out of curiosity would you not try manual transponder scan, see if you pick up anything like that- press menu, go to service searching, then choose manual scan, in this menu highlight "type of scan" press over choose single satellite pick the satellite below it (28.2e) and try that way. basically it should look like this:
Tuner= Tuner A:(DVB-S2)
Type of scan= single satellite
satellite= 25 astra/eurobird 28.2e
network scan= yes
clear before scan= no
only free scan= no

That is the way mine is set and works no problem so give it a go.

make sure dish is set up proper and check coax to dish and box is good. and if using an existing sky dish just make sure your tuner configuration is set up right more than likely the problem lies here.

you need to look at your satellitel.xml file. this lists all the transponders scanned. if this is incorect then you will not pick up much. how long does your scan take. normally it should be about 30 minutes for a complete scan if you are scanning all available transponders

strange. i know that www.argolis.com have come out with more recent drivers. at the end of the day its just a standard usb driver no matter the box. however maybe its best that you do download the more recent drivers from argolis

i tried argolis ,they have a link on there in downloads that you click on (but it says coming soon)and dont work .so i have the card in the box at the minute (the box is ok by the way and thanks again )ill have another scout around tomorrow to see what i can pick up. it is the .tar file that i need and not the .ipk file ,i was wondering would the 7025 driver work ,just a thought.

dm7025 plus, negative no hd, positive two tuner modules. dream multimedia are a strange group. they give you the 7025 plus with usb, then the dm800hd with only one tuner, then dm500hd with an integrated fan as the box melts otherwise, but still with only one tuner and no usb. then the dm8000 that has everything but costs 900 sterling before you put a hard disk into it, never mind a dvd drive. while i don't have a 7025 plus, it is the one box that makes sense to me at a reasonable price

thanks fintanni, as i have set up the 800s i would have liked to have stayed with dream but i was talking to a guy in a television shop and he said he was getting in receivers hd and dual but opposite in size and appearance, did not give price yet, so i was doing a bit of homework, will let you all know what happens.

well i had another try at the smargo ,the ipk files are not the ones to use ,as you have to manually install the driver via your remote (these files dont show up so cant be installed) . the .tar file i have for the dm7025 keeps showiing up as zipped when i know all files are unzipped (which is strange) and lastly there is a text file saying there is no driver for the dm7020 .so i cant use the smargo it seems ,and also when you set up the first half of the smargo best to do it on an xp computer (your fine with the updater bit) but when you want to select dreambox and apply it,it wont apply it and so the smargo wont work .

correct files now sent to you. read the readme file. it is for the 7025 but the steps are relevant for the 7020. just change the names of the kernel modules to be installed. you will need to download vi editor and learn how to use. sorry no quick fix on this. i had to do it myself and its a pain but you'll struggle through it. lastly it should be possible to set the dreambox setting. plug the smargo into a different usb port on your pc and try again. so theres a bit of work for you to keep you entertained tonight
