What exactly do you need to know? Is it about the lnb config within the set up menu or is it about basic image setup?
What exactly can you get at present?

Not sure that you can fly with that configuration, as there is no way to switch in the separate LNB. On some receivers you have the option of a 12/0v switch, but the Dreambox doesn't have one.

Yes its about the LNB config within the setup menu I think.I have not tried anything yet but I know this was the set up with the previous owner

I currently use a disque switch with this setup using an old humax system and it works

What settings did you use then? Can't see how it can switch to the second port on the monobloc.

Do not know as it was trial on error at swithing antenna settings in the Humax setup
Any one any ideas about the Dreambox

You can always use the dreamboxedit software to backup and restore the current bouquets on your system.

Have a play with your monobloc and hispasat setting (under satellite configuration in dreambox setup)- Are you using a Diseqc switch to connect the monobloc for astra and hotbird together with your other dish for Hispasat? FYI, I am not an expert on monobloc settings but I think it should work the same.

Hi Iqbal seem to have lost Hotbird and cannot get Astra channels am receiving some Hispasat and can not remember how to wipe and reload channels which I think are on the stick

Open dreamboxedit.

Click on ftp.

Key in your ip for dreambox.

Click browse and point to the "bouq" folder which contains the backup for the bouquets.

Click send files to dreambox and click reload settings on dreambox and that's it.

The bouquets is based on LNB1=Hotbird; LNB2 = Astra etc

I would advise you to scan and create your own bouquets using the dreambox edit software.

Good luck!!

Yes.

You need to connect your dreambox to your PC for these (use a crossover cable for direct connection).

As you have a router, this should be no problem - Alternatively, connect a patch cable from the router to the box.

Read the idiot guide sticky in the dreambox section - They are very helpful (to myself too!).

Think of your Dreambox as another computer, which it is.

To connect two computers together directly, you will need a crossover cable.

To link two computers together via a hub or switch, you will need two patch cables.

The two cable types look identical. The only difference is that the wires are 'crossed over' inside the crossover cable.

Most hubs and switches these days can actually use either the standard 'patch' lead (straight through) or a 'crossover' cable, as they automatically detect which one is connected and logically 'switch' the connections internally.

Hope this is clear.

[adrianmac]

Where can I find the latest info??

what softcam you useing you need camd and ftp latest k#y file

 

[T_G]

Info about what??
What image is inside your box?? Also, update your system profile, makes answering easier...
And really, most information about keys and cams is in the guides and in the various threads, just spend some time reading the threads.
Most modern images have direct download of keys and emus, and if you are not connected then you need to find them in the various sites. Again, many links to sites are listed, use the excellent search function of the forum.
