I updated a friend of a friends dreambox 500c last night. But some things are confusing me.

1. When the box boots up there is a Digital Chaos UK logo on the screen. It sits there until you press either channel up/down or the tv button. Is that normal? If not, how can i get it to just go to a channel or bring up the epg. From what I remember when I booted the box before I flashed it, it brought up a menu for tv mode, radio, settings, games etc. Since flashing it this does not come up.

2. If I try to enter a channel number nothing happens. The only way to navigate around is by using the channel up/down buttons or by pressing the tv button which brings up a list of all channels, not an EPG.

3. Bouquets - I really dont understand what these are and how to set them.

Any help would be great, I've read lots of stuff about plugins, bouquets, enigma, etc etc - all very confusing.

I'm reluctant to give the box back just yet until I can figure out how to fix these issues. The box does work, its just a bit awkward to use.

Cheers,
Chislr

thanks Hadmad. Glad things are as they're supposed to be.

How can I get the bouquets sorted for N*L Dublin - dont want to have to do it manually if possible :)
