Here is a new flashready image for the dreambox 500c for Ireland:

http://rapidshare.com/files/252302566/Irish_Backup.rar

Download image file and unzip using winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe - rename image file to "backup.img".

Flash image file to dreambox, I use Dreamup: http://www.dreamboxshops.co.uk/dreambox/DreamUP.zip - and null modem connection. If you do not have one you will need to buy a null modem connection.

When it says do you want to flash erase click no.

reboot the dreambox and search for all your channels using Dublin NTL.

Press blue button on remote, to go to Tuxbox Commander.

Select var folder
select the bin folder
hightlight hypercam 1.06.

Press red button to execute,
press exit
press red button to SAVE settings and exit.

Tune to Sky Sports or Sky Movies and wait a minute or two, then change channel again.
All channels should now be available.

PLEASE NOTE: if you execute the hypercam more than once it will not work. Also when you plug the dreambox out all channels will be gone but you just have to execute the cam again

Many thanks to those concerned.

I only sussed out how to do it yesterday evening by following westham88's very clear instructions, my box has been sitting on top of my wardrobe for the last few months collecting dust.
Again, big thanks to all involved......now, what will I watch ?

When you connect the box to the pc with dreamup open it should tell you to switch on your dreambox. Plug your box in and out and dreamup should recognise it then

Dreamup is the program you have to use to upload the image onto the box.

Download it here:

Click on the flash button in dreamup and find the image you just downloaded

When it says do you want to flash erase click no.

reboot the dreambox and search for all your channels using Dublin NTL.

Press blue button on remote, to go to Tuxbox Commander.

Select var folder

To get all the channels to scan in you have to use Dublin - Ireland NTL. They are in alphabetical order so you will have to go looking for it

Then to find hypercam:

Press blue button on remote, to go to Tuxbox Commander.

Select var folder - Should be the 4th from the end
select the bin folder - Should be the 1st one
hightlight hypercam 1.06. - Its the last one

Click ok on the hypercam 1.06
Press red button to execute,
press exit
press red button to SAVE settings and exit.

Tune to Sky Sports or Sky Movies and wait a minute or two, then change channel again.
All channels should now be available.

PLEASE NOTE: if you execute the hypercam more than once it will not work. Also when you plug the dreambox out all channels will be gone but you just have to execute the cam again
