:) hi all newbie here am thinking of getting the dm500-c and dm500-s
are the boxes easy to program with the img files
would like to know for the DM500-C which img file would be good to load in to and for the DM500-S dont want to load the wrong img files for the wrong box and bugger them up :confused: any help would be most welcome i have looked at other posts and there seems to be lots of files for both
 
The onliest difference between 500c and 500s is the tuner. Every image work on both. For the satbox you need sat keys but keep in mind sky via satellite is not hacked.
 
for the dm 500-c you will need an image modified for uk cable

theres plenty about

for the dm 500-s i would use the latest gemini image

you cant realy bugger these boxes up unless you throw the fecker out the window lol .any dm 500 images can be flashed to these boxes as long as you got the right leads ethernet cross over cable and a serial null modem cable , if you have a bad flash or your box frezzes up on you use the null modem cable and dream up to recover dosent happen very often: colors1
 
A funcard is not much usefull for satellite.
You should use the latest mgcamd for instance
 
sorry about all the Q i ask mgb its all new to me am sure in a couple of months i will look back at what i posted and say dohoo why did i put that lol but any way am still on my learning curve
 
Just for your own info.if you have the two boxs in the same room the remote control will operate on both at the same time this can sometimes lead to problems.
 
why not buy a 7025 with dvb-c & dvb-s tuners
 
HI satpink i would like to get the 7025 but am using the DM500-c downstairs and once i get the dm500-s flashed thats going up stairs for late night (cough) tv shows : colors1

just looked on dvbshop
7025 (twin cable but don't think 1c 1 s will be a different price)
£450
can 3 500's for that...

I see he is advertising the new 600-c pvr for 209

can these dreamboxes be flashed with just an ethernet cable? the same as my dbox

Yes though if it goes wrong then you may need a null modem cable and a copy of DreamUp to put the original firmware back.

It can be flashed with DreamUP via ethernet cable but last working IP must be known by user.
