for peeps not getting all channels.. keep scanning.

After my first scan i only get 50% of the channels, sky1 and discovery vanilla are the last ones to be found. Do a scan twice a day for the next few days or so and the missing channels should apear... they did for me :)

if you look for cgscott posts on previous pages, he has posted links to nw imags. make sure you download the 2 of them as Im not sure which one the dreamup programme doesnt recognise. then flash with that image, it will ask you whether you want to erase, make sure you click the no button. Good luck. Dave

if you look at the page look for 3 letters and a box next to them, type in letters then click download it will then download, save it to your desktop then open with box disconnected open the dreamup up then press connect it will then ask you to connect the r232 cable then it will say now connect box so power up box , when it has connected to box click the flash , it will then ask do you want to erase flash click no, then look in your desktop for the image you have downloaded, it takes 10 mins or so to do it

He watched Liverpool eh? he must have been bored stiff, anyway I hope you get it working ok. Its all down to CGSCOTT this, without him we`d all be in a pickle.

A little bit off the path... but

Since i've had the dreambox connected to my router i've been playing with the web interface...Cool or what.. Anyone had Ngrab set-up on the PC to use as a kinda sky+ thing ?. that'd be wicked.

I've read i need to install Ngrab on the PC but can only find german versions... also read i have to set-up a NFS share or something.

Also what plugins do i need on the PC to be able to watch streamed TV over the network ? i can stream audio, but not video.

Any help kindly recieved.

Im a newbie at this but ayway here goes..I tried using DCC 2.6 to connect to box via router - it connected fine. I then ran flashwizard 6.3 and used scots instructions from april to flash the new image but it canot find My_Flash_Image_Backup.flash, however it finds the old Mybackup.fw2 only. do i have to rename the file to fw2? even the backup.img file it errors saying this is not a firmware. I messed up the box so i resorted back to the old april flash file.

I then tried the new dreamUP software however whe i turn on the box after it tells me it just hangs on "connection prepared now switch on dreambox."

any help would be very much appreciated. Im not using null modem. thanks in advance.

no need to use ngrab to record, if you create a share on your computer, then mount the share on the dreambox as a drive/folder - point this to me the destination for the recording.

this is what makes the dreambox a far superioir box than the others. The amount of stuff you can do, wait till the DM 8000 comes out, twin tuner, dvd drive, front usb ports, hdmi output but the price is whopping 700 quid.

to resolve the issue I have renamed the file to My_Flash_Image_Backup.fw2 and it has been recognised as an acceptable file in Flashwizard. Flashed ok, then did a bruteforce scan and picked up all the channels.

Then decided to be a total id and tried to download a new skin cos the heavy metal default didnt do it all for me, uploaded the new skin into respective directories using ftp now the box keeps restarting every 20secs, and cant flash it cos it wont connect via ethernet for more 2 secs because of the restarts.

Ive finally realised that DreamUP is to be used with a null modem cable so looks like I'll be galavanting across the icy streets of bham looking for the right cable.

Many thanks you guys and especially to Lord cgscott!
