Hi,
I bought a dreambox 500S from ebay.de and am unsure if it's a genuine box (the seller assured me it was). The reason I asked is that I noticed the MAC address on the package box is different from the one when I plug it to my router. HOWEVER, both are addresses starting with 00:09:34. Could that be a clone?
Secondly, I have played around trying a few images (nabilo, gemini, marwensat).. A problem arose where I could not get a lock to astra 28.2 anymore (it says : " wait till tuner locks" and it never gets lock.) If I plug another FTA receiver to the same cable, I can watch free channels straightaway. So this exclude any problem with the LNB. Any idea? I have restored the original image, but still same problem. Could that be a hardware issue?
Thanks a lot
