evening too you all.
just got my toes wet and got a dm500s clone.
now i have pluged it into my tv and fixed dish provided by sly.
now i have scanned 19.2e and getting some free channels.
now what next,it seems to come with some image GP.
do i update image to another and use dreamup .
then i need to read and set up internet connection.
thanks.
i have a 80cm motor dish but not sure its working not used for a few years when i first got a fortec box.

Hi, what do you want to do with it?

There is no need to update the image if the image you have does what you need it to.

I'd recommend downloading a pre-made channel list. We have some here in the linux settings section (the 500 is an E1).

Code:

Only registered members can view code.

.
Use dreambox edit to transfer it. You can then test your motor.

thanks,

i put motor to 0 degrees then moved to thor0.8 then next sat along and scanned channels.now i can't get motor to move,though i wonder if has seized as it is the first time i have used for a while.
will look at revert back to sly dish unless any ideas.

thanks again.

The benefit/point of transferring a channel list is that you do not have to scan for channels.

Simplest way to check of motor has seized is to have a look at it. Point somewhere distinctly different from where it is pointing originally, 30w or 39e.
Sorry to ask, have you setup your receiver to use usals or diseqc motor controls? If usals, are your co-ordinates correct?

Will a dm500 clone power a motor Im sure I read somewhere that they didnt have enough power out of them ?.

my 500 moved my dish no problem

mine is moving my motor but i think i need to move dish a bit,looks like it has moved.
i will revert back to my sly dish until i can get the ladders and find how to do it!
anyway how would i know what image i have per first note,as it came with an image on so i presume i can keep this without bricking it.
anyway as i will have some spare time tonight to play about, as thewife is in work.A BIG THANKS FOR YOUR KIND INPUT AND EFFORTS i
