The box arrived yesterday and so I set about getting it connected up. Once booted the language was in chinese and the background showed "GP" which I have worked out is Gemini Project.

A bit more reading highlighted the fact the Gemini and Clones aren't best friends so a bit more research pointed to the fact that PLI Jade would be a suitable image to load for my sky based requirements.

I grabbed the image and using some instructions on the web ftp'd the image onto the box before telneting to execute a flash and reboot.

On booting PLI Jade I finally got a nice friendly english menu and fought my way through setting up the necessary satellite transponders.

I am now able to receive the sky FTA channels no problem and must say that the picture quality actually looks better than the original sky+ box!

I then also gave the box a static IP as I like to know where it is on my network at all times!

Now for my first batch of questions.

1) Is there an idiots guide to bouqets and how to get them onto your box? I'm obviously looking for a Sky lineup bouquet.

2) How do I simply setup the box to allow me to put my full sky subscription card (white one) into the box and access the channels I pay for? I see reference to newcs and CCcam but am not sure of an idiots guide to what they are! Following some reading I installed 2.1.2 of CCcam and 1.66 of newcs but out of the box they did nothing. I grabed "Dreambox Config Creator v0.7.0" and followed the tutorial for creating the sky box key and then the newcs.xml and CCcam.cfg files but this doesn't appear to have made my card be happily read. (The card still works fine if I put it back into the Sky+ box)

Next things to be investigated:

I have a friend he has the same internet router of me and the same internet provider with dreambox 500s and everything working good.

I was wondering if you can help me! I have recently bought myself a C-Band dish. The problem is that I do not know how to set it up! Especially on the Dreambox! I currently have a Few KU-Band dishes installed ... And I know all about the Settings, LNB Skews etc.

But C-Band is new to me, and there's not much info on how to set it up especially if you are using a Dreambox. I just read use 5150, but no one with a well set up C-Band has had any courage to do some step by step screen grabs. Also to me inches and feet mean nothing! And I get frustrated when I find info and it uses inches and feet.

So if you have successfully setup C-Band on your Dreambox, particularly if you are using the PLi Jade Image! I would appreciate it if you put some of your screen grabs on this forum, to help us frustrated newbies.

Thanks

I'm glad I have found this forum.

I got my first dreambox a while ago and the guy who sold it to me said I need to pay a yearly subscription ( around 100USD ) to get all the channels.

I feel he's ripped me off, I am sure there must be a way to do so without paying him.

Now most of the channels are gone i can only watch "standard" ones.
He says there is a file he needs to setup via FTP to "renew" my subscription for a year.

Is this how DB works? I am not sure. I don't know much about this technology so if guys could help or advise that would be just great.

Sorry for my bad english. If you need any sort of info i'll be glad to give you.

Changing the buffer size really high helps and it sometimes runs for up to 20 minutes before it apparently requests too much data or something and starts glitching. once started the only way to fix it is to restart the stream.

I previously did the exact same thing with my 500S but it streamed perfectly. Is there something different in the stream the 500T sends that is inadequate ? Is there anything I can adjust on the Dreambox end to improve the streaming, ie scale down or drop frames etc ]]> Dreambox500 pawzlion http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dreambox500/162373-vlc-stream-breaks-up-500t.html http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dreambox500/162372-help-me-set-up-bouquet-please.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:58:39 GMT hi everyone, please help me!
