yea hook up the virgin box ,if all is well with your connection it should work straight away ,if not you have no signal coming in (if it works and you have a signal then there is a problem with your dm500.

so you have a signal thats good ,so what ever is wrong its to do with the dreambox . i noticed something in those two pictures of the menu , in the transponder search (single transponder the provider id is 6887 ,but in the aoto scan you have only two choices sr6900 and sr6875 ,are you sure there are not more choices than those two . i think 6887 is the correct provider id number ,if you got the frequency list for virgin in your area and entered a frequency in to the menu (to scan a single frequency) i think it would work not ideal but it might work .otherwise i would say reflash the box .

i have had a look around online for virgin frequencies but only found glasgow etc , im from ireland so any frequencies i would have would be of no use . some one here should be able to give you a list of frequencies for your area ,if one works they will all work .or you could try reflashing your box . for this you need a computer (which you have) but your computer needs to run on windows xp and not vista (vista has compatability issues) you will need a null modem cable 9 pin male to 9 pin male to connect your box to your pc . and you will need to download dreamup and an image you can get both from the link in my signature. also if your computer is new it wont have the connection that you need to connect the null modem cable ,so you have 2 choices there either use an old desktop computer or you will need to buy a usb to serial adaptor . this is a cable that has a usb connection on one end and a null modem connection on the other , you join the null modem cable to it ,plug the usb end in the pc and the null end in the box. it should come with a disk (containing whats called a driver)this basicly helps your computer see the box ,the cable wont work without it .if you get no disk dont worry you can download the driver online .

ok that image would do and you have the cable etc so thats great ,that image is a rar file so you need to open it first (you will need to download winrar or peazip to open it ,they are free ) and then you can start .one last thing i dont know if that image is up to date for updating codes automaticly so you you may have to put codes in by hand (dont worry its not hard at all ,but you may not need to )get winrar or something like it and open the rar file and get back to me.
