Thanks buddy,
anywho im back with some problems.
the image i installed was too unstable and kept on freezing.
someone recommended i install jade3 pli.
i ftp'd "PLi® Jade3 - for the Dreambox DM500" from:
PLi® Images website
(the bottom one)
during telnet it erased the flash but said "illegal instruction" afterwards.
double checked the command line and the image filename (backup.img) and everything looks right.
have i flashed the wrong image onto the box.
strange thing is that i can still use the box for watching tv even though the flash has been erased.
i can still ftp in and out of the box too but flashwizard pro will not connect to try and flash the image another way. :S
i even tried flashing the original image via telnet with the same error.
Any advice is much appreciated,
Mubs
