Well, sooner or later I was going to get my hands into this. A friend brought me a dead Dreambox 500-S to see if I can bring it back alive. Since this is something I haven't play before it was time for me to read. After a couple of days of readings I decided to go ahead and begin my learning process. Since the box was previously loaded with a Pli image I decided to use the latest from the pli org. So RS232 null cable and Ethernet on hand it was time to begin. I first connected the box using the null cable and lunch the Dreamup program. I did a connect after setting the Com port. Later did a complete wipe out using Erase and following with the loading of the latest pli images. After a few minutes the process finished and the box rebooted in Pal. Changed it to NTSC and got picture. Its alive!! Then I load a west arc DB using the Dreamboxedit program via ethernet. Now I have north america sats. So I went one by one and set the LNB type, freq. etc. I choose one of my fixed dishes and set the proper port setting. I check to see some of the TPs were inside the list so did a test scan. Voila!! Pretty nice experience!! :th_thumbs20up:
