After looking into and researching cable boxes for a few months i've finally decided to have a crack at it.

I was going to have a go at flashing a spare sammy 2110c but that looked quite complicated and i would have had a fair outlay on tools to do the job.
(anyone in the essex area got the bits to do it??)

So I've now decided on a dreambox 500c for my room, not fussed if its a clone, as long as it does its job.

I've been reading around old tuts and what not and have established what i think i need to do, correct me if i'm wrong please.

Buy Box
Put latest image on by telnet/ftp/dreamup (which one for first image)
Load on magic keys (by ftp or .tar installer)
Scan for channels (is there more to this)

I think thats what i need to do is it not?

Also, where is the cheapest place to get a 500c clone or not, anyone got a secondhand one to sell?

Also i've had a read about narga 3 and realised this will probably render the box useless. How long until narga 3 becomes widespread.

Cheers in advance guys.

Time scale unknown mate. Vermin say full uk easter but I just dont think that will happen. Unrealistic IMHO

then read here

see ellies post about the magic files by neorage.

Most if not all DM500c sold now are clone but they are just as good. Get them from china. mate cant post on open forum tho. Around 50 to 70 sheet.

Have a look on fleabay might have a few ppl in leeds who have went N3 selling
