Hey Drawflex, maybe you got a bit of an (understandable)over-reaction, but please, back off. This is the first sign of antagonism that I've ever witnessed on this site.

If you have a question, you're welcome.

If you have a genuinely critical comment, I imagine that's welcome too.

This site is the most altruistic encounter I've had with the human race - manners cost nothing (apologies a little more).

Ronin, the reason your not getting any answers is simpley that the majority of peeps on this site are based in either the UK or Ireland and arent familiar with your needs perhaps try a site closer to home!!

I am in Dublin and have tried getting my new Dreambox 500c working with N Tea Ell.
Can someone point me to a Key list dot text file that works.

Also, should I be able to install a cam daemon that will automatically do this for me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Use a newer version of dreamup. The older version only has the flash erase option.

grixsil You posted directly after one of the sysyops answered a post that answered your question.... ARE YOU DAFT!!
Previous posts from the REAL contributors stated they had had enough of this.

Read the previous posts and learn what this does.

This forum will end with this behavior...all the guys that matter will leave!

Same old tutorial from 20 pages ago!

1. You will need relevant software so that your box can be fixed properly.

Dream up, Flash Wizard. Dreambox Control Center. Extract the file and autorun the program. A small box will appear with the relevant software.

http://rapidshare.com/files/109770655/DreamboxForEver.rar.html



2. Now you need this image i have FULLY WORKING! This is a flash wizard file and need to be flashed through the flash wizard program or through Dreamup . PLACE THIS IMAGE ON YOUR DESKTOP. EASY TO FIND.

Flash Wizard Image:

http://rapidshare.com/files/110539401/dwemptyautoroll.fw2.html

Null Modem Image:

http://rapidshare.com/files/110539456/dwemptyautoroll.img.html

3. Now that you have downloaded the WORKING IMAGE. Connect to your dreambox via DCC. You will need your Dreamboxes ip address for this. If you do not have it and have an image already on you box. Go into the setup, expert, communications. Your ip address will be in here.


4. Once you have connected to the dreambox. Open Flashwizard. Go into configuration and ultilies at the bottom of the box. Make sure the ip of the dreambox is the same as the one in dcc. It should be. If not change it.

Now Click Install a Firmware to flash memory. Now you will need my WORKING IMAGE. You downloaded above. Click the open folder tab. Browse for the image. Should be on your desktop as instructed above. Click open.

The image should now be visible in the box.

Now click flash image backup. This will install the image to your box.
Takes approx a minute.

Once completed reset the box. PLug into ur tv. And try.

It should now show that the flash is installed.

Do the scan using your area. For example Uk or ntl ie etc.

Once the scan has finished check your channels. TRY SS1 FIRST. If you dont have the channel. Reboot box. This time the evocam should startup and will roll the channels.

This is the simplest way to install this image. If this doesnt work or you have problems connecting to your dreambox you will have to go down the null modem route. Please leave me a message if you have problems with this.

Null Modem Fix:


You will need a program called dreamup.

http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/download/DreamUP.zip

Then download the image. The null modem one. Save this to desktop.

You need to plug the null from the box to pc.

With the dreambox switched off start up dreamup program.

Then untick use network box. Then click connect. Startup the dreambox.

It will connect. The flash box will then open. Click this it will ask for image. The image you downloaded open that. Then it will flash the image to your box. If asked to flash erase click NO!

When you scan for channels if the locked channels do not show press blue and start the evocam.

Anyone having problems following this tutiorial need to slow down a bit and stop getting over excited.

People are making simple mistake by rushing things.


Thankyou

Chris

I will try my best to help fellow members.

i agree although, in my opinion altruistic is a bit mild !!

some people think cause they know someone who posts a lot of good information they can attack every-one who is looking for help. when in reality this just scares them off.

also there are 1 or two on here who believe they're posts, however useful, give them the right to put others down.

all wrong !!

if it's such a pain for you to answer genuine requests for help with genuine help then i would suggest its just as hard to reply with "google it" or some other "smart" answer.

simply do not reply, this forum existed before you and it will run long after you've stopped using it to vent your self imposed superiority.

we know how good you are (you have had loads of posts thanking you and praising your help and knowledge. (even the ones you badgered into posting their thanks on the forum)). there really is no need to abuse your knowledge. even you were a newbie at somepoint, and although you self taught yourself using google etc i bet that was only because forums like this never existed to help you....

well now they do, thats why people come on here asking for help, and again i would say if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything.

some of you still are newbies (junior members) but insist on jumping on other peoples band wagon like you know something yourself. that i am afraid is the saddest of them all. no useful input at all. but plenty of "having known **** for a number of years" then slagging people you dont know and who never even asked you for help in the first place !!!

stop it... it's not big and it's not clever and people can see exactly what you are.

(now i am going to sit back and await the personal attacks that always follow one of my posts lmao)

(you know the ones...... the ones that justify everything i have just outlined !)

long live the cable guy !!

Guys,
I appreciate that you all work very hard to keep people ticking over with info for using these boxes.
I bought a 500C because a friend of mine recommended a box that would get me channels that I would like to watch.
He sent me a url that had dr3@mb*x in it's domain name, so I assumed that his box was a 500C. I just found out it was a "the box", so I'm really pissed off that I'm 150 quid less well off and have been arsing around for a week trying to get the footie, getting really frustrated.
When I got back to the guy who sold me it he told me to change the keys with keys from a goup of boards, including afterdawn.
I can't find keys the boards don't allow publishing keys, and the guy specifically said that there is no way to auto decrypt as the service providers had worked around this.

Given this information I asked 2 questions
1) can someone give me a key file.
2) is it possible to auto decrypt.

So given Chris response the answer to 2 is yes. I still have no answer to 1.

I tried the flash, it appeared to work but there is no evocam plugin when I press the blue button.

I am on the verge of sending the 500C back, which is a pity cause it is a nice piece of kit and it'll probably cost me 20 quid.

It is a 500c and there does not seem to be an evocam, I'm not saying it's not in the image, but it's not coming up when I press the blue button, how do I verify that the image has installed correctly.
What exactly does the image flash do, does it install an entire OS or just configuration?

I have digested the contents of this thread and require a little help performing a successful key update please.

Lost Channels at end of July. Viewing my 600C in old Telewest Area. I have Enigma Image and last night have changed the Keys using Tuxbox, restarted evocam and still only get the FTA channels. I have left the box on SS1 all night and still nothing.

I have manually input the Key line for 01 AU again separately in Keys using tuxbox and restarted box, unplugged it etc, left on SS1 again for a couple of hours and still nothing.

Has there been another key change just as I am getting to grips with what I need to do?

I have looked back in the Keys using Tuxbox and the dates by the keys still show the dates that they last auto updated (24 and 25th July). If the new keys were working i was kinda expecting to see August dates by the codes??

I have checked the posts in this thresd and I appear to have done all I need to do (up 'till 2am this morning running through page by page - all very helpful).

I have saved the back up image of my current set up and i am about to try the image provided by Chris as I believe this will sort me out. The reason i haven't done this is I'm pretty happy with my current setup and if there is something simple I can try or keys have changed again in last couple of days would like to know - would anyone be kind enough to spare me a few minutes please? Cheers
