you will find it hard to get a 500c that already has an image pre installed most traders wont sell them like that you should flash it yourself it helps when anything goes wrong when you know about these boxes and flashing your own box is the best way to learn

hey people ive read this thread as im interested in getting a dreambox 500c, but this rdi dreambox site actually only seems to list software for the sat not the cable receiver.

i live in london so weve got former M T hell cable now vrgn i dont know how to work dreambox 500C and ive read that theyre not sold pre-flashed so as you guys know the best images emulators and keys to get my dreambox 500c receiving all the channels i would be grateful if someone could lend a hand please. even a priv message would be good

cheers people

thanks for the assistance reeso,

you seem to know a bit about the500c so:

do you know if the keys have to be manually updated on a regularly basis, if so how the hell do i do it...ive got no idea seriously?

do i have to install new images on a regular basis and if so where can i get them from?

will i really get all the channels with the 500c even if i live in london and not ireland?

these would obviously apply after i bought from your suggested place, and the dreambox needed to be updated as i know theyre prone to need updating pretty regularly

thanks in advance mate

the dreambox updates itself try the digitalworldz 2.0 image it has keys and the cables.xml for bothe ireland and england, once you have flashed the box do your scan and just enjoy the image can be got here

i got it from dreamboxes and phones.look on this page and you will find them.to set it up you need a r232 null modem cable.you will find a programme called dreamup you put that on your desktop when you open it it asks for an image you will find dw 1.6.5 on one of the sites.just load it into it thats it.oh! you connect the cable to your pc and thats all there is to it.
