Had a dig around but can't seem to find the question asked before. Why can't a USB stick be formatted on a PC and a flash image installed/copied to it and then it simply plugged into the 800? I appreciate there is a file system difference but just wondered if it's plausible and if somebody has worked on a routine to do it. Told you it was a daft question. | ||

You can operate several different images from a memory stick but its all still setup via the dreambox. | ||

My System: DM 500s. 95cm dish 0.1 best LNB Dark motor 1.3 | I have often seen the barry allen USB multi boot etc and i have always found myself asking, what are the benefits of using this? The 800 has a 64 mb internal flash and i am up to 60mb already which pisses me off. does using a USB pen rectify this? | ||

My System: none | Time I got back to this thread. People seem to be missing the point I was asking. It was just an idle curiosity type question. It doesn't really matter to be honest. Thanks anyways guys. I was just wondering why images can't be pre-loaded onto sticks on a device other than a dreambox. In particular a pc. | ||

I've not seen anyone bother doing this with the dreambox because its so easy to flash a new image over LAN, but I've seen it done with Cubrevo / Abcom recievers. | |||
