Hi,

I am very new to all of this and I was hoping for a bit of help and a push in the right direction. I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few days but I am quite confused.

I bought a dm800se clone, sim 2.1, bootloader 82. It came with the allrusian image installed. What I didn't realise was that this image does not have any emulators installed, so I did a bit of reading and flashed the box with another image, apparently it should then have been a case of just pushing the blue button and downloading the cams to the box, I have now tried 3 images and none of them have this option when I push the blue button and I can't seem to find any menu option for addons, just extensions.

Could someone recommend an image that I could use? I am only really interested in sky hd and 3d if that makes any difference.

I have read a lot of conflicting information about the bootloader, some people are saying that the box needs to be flash to use the bootloader 84 yet other people are saying that as long as you flash with a new image that has the bootloader included then everything will work and the box won't be bricked.

Last question is about cams again! As I didn't realise my box wasn't set up properly I requested a test from a server that I am intersted in subscribing to, the line I got back started with 'N:' does this still use cccam or do I need to use a different cam for this? Again some places I read said to use cccam and others are recommending newcamd.

I know that this is my first post here and I am asking a million questions but I have been reading through the discussions and I'm now at the point where I have a million questions. I'm a bit wary of flashing the wrong image or bootloader and wrecking the box 2 days after I got it.


Thanks in advance
 
Hi Mate

I have also recently bought a DM800SE SR4...sounds like a car doesn't it!!
My problem is a bit more acute...the menu on my box starts up in Chinese when I select the menu button on the remote!!
Can anyone out there help me through the menu list to change the language settings to English PPPPlease!
 
Guys on this very forum is a download site for dreambox images. Pop in there and grab one of the images. As for cams once you get a decent image on you'll be able to install a cam from the downloads section of your image or from a plugin called ts panel.

I myself only got my box on Monday and I've spent all week after work reading and messing about and with the help of many members, in particular dibbers wiz and rat im more or less setup so don't give up, have a play and remember google is your friend and even I can help you now lol (google will bring u back here most times anyway lol)
 
I hear DW has an amazing search function. Then oddly, if you are really struggling with something specific, if you post the details of the problem, most if not all will try to help you in some way.

A little self application and less worrying about breaking the image, and you will be up and running in no time.

As James as posted, there are complete sections here with images, download them, test them see which one's you like, there are instructions on how to flash the boxes, then take it from there. The same sections also include a selection of tools, and there are plenty of other threads on the forum with details around plugins.

Please don't take this the wrong way and imho I believe I speak for at least some of the people here, but most like you to at least do some up front work and if you are having problems with something as you go, then they will more than gladly help. It's understandable that there is a lot to take in and the general first response if you just don't get it is to post in a forum that appeared in your first Google search, but It can be a little frustrating when people post right off the bat without at least trying, for others that you don't have some decency to introduce yourself beforehand and then even more frustrating when they post twice without reading the first post they where already replied to in (Yun) ;)

To clarify, what you are asking is quite wide and varied and could take as long as ten posts to explain, but if you get somewhere and have problems with say a specific image, or a plugin in the image, or how to connect the box to flash that same image then it shows you have at least thought about it.

:( sorry chaps if I offended ...lack of intro etc
Been away from the forums too long and only had cable experience in the past.....I guess my frustration got the better of me. May have been a language problem!
As for my chinese, I am a quick learner and by using Google translator....put in "language" as the word to translate into chinese; I found the equivalent chinese characters....and by looking carefully I was able to switch my box into English :)
Thanks for the other pointers that you provided...no doubt I'll need them soon.
