I just got a dreambox 500s. My problem is I live in USA NE. And there are no sats in his box for NE like AMC1 OR amc4 or intel5-6-8 or anything I can use. How can I get these sats in my sat list on dreambox 500s?:confused

Posting in the dreambox section, rather than the technomate section might be a good start.

I don't use dreambox, but I don't see why you couldn't move the dish with diseqc instead of usals, then manualy scan the transponders in. You just need to remember which sat you substitute with.

You can certainly add satellites using the menu, but there are probably satellite lists available for download.

Download a satellites.xml list with your choice of NA satellites from here -


_http://satellites-xml.eu/?fb

Then you can replace the old satellites.xml file with your new one.

Yeah I do that with my VSU, I hit 17 sats wih motor could get more but house in way. But on my VSU I can manualy move moter then save seting and when ever i click on a sat it goes right to it. But dreambox 500s only has ''go to '' featrue. :mad:

Try Dreamset. Easy to use with serial or LAN.
