is there a guide any where on using the dreambox control centre and is this the best programe to use with the dreambox 500c
 
Don't think there's a specific guide as such. It's a very comprehensive program with a lot in it. Not really that hard to use, set you ip address, router ip (if you are using one) and PC ip address and that's you.

I don't use it because I feel it's too much. I use an ftp package and telnet and that's about it.

FTP - you can ftp images, plugins, etc to the /tmp folder and issue a command via telnet. You can flash using this method which is probably the quickest and most secure way of doing it. This is the way that most packages will flash the box but have their own GUI in front of it for ease of use.

If you want to backup your image you can use a telnet command then get the image file via ftp.

If you want to backup your services and bouquets use ftp to copy the /var/tuxbox/config/enigma folder or /var/tuxbox.config/zapit folder to your PC.

It's really whatever program you feel comfortable using. But sorry I don't think there's a guide for it on this forum, maybe someone else has one they could upload.
 
whats the best way to add the extra games to the dreambox and also the themes or skins i have downloaded some games for it and some skins but i dont know how to put them on
 
The games are plugins (.so and .cfg files). FTP these files to the /var/tuxbox/plugins folder and chmodd 755 the .so files. They should appear in the plugins or games menu.

The skins are alot harder to install and depends on how they are compressed. Have a search for skin as I'm sure it's been talked about before.
