A little stuck with the Dreambox 500 and in desperate need of some help please.
Goal #1: Replace my existing digibox with DM500 and get it working with my current FTA card ... (or is it FTV ?)
i've achieved little so far;
1) Tuned Dm500 into transponders etc to 28deg Astra Sat.
2) Gained access to my DM500 using LAN connection (via router)
3) Can copy/move files to and from \tmp (and most other folders on the DM500 using both telnet and CuteFTP
Now i'm a little overwhelmed, I understand I need to update or install new firmware (image?) to get it to work?
a) which image would you suggest? and where can I get it? (N.B. I have read about Gemini's and some thing called Hydra Zeus and I am confused about which one is best/easiest - and what vers - )
( As the DM500 has no usb or hdd attachments, once I have obtained said image, can I simply copy it over using CuteFTP and rename the folder "root.cramfs" and manual update?
Once i've managed "a and b" I understand that I need to copy/edit some files in order for the FTA card to work and update etc,
(c) I have read several guides and i've seen two files referred to but can't find them "card....0916" or similar and "cardser..." what do I do here?
sorry to be a bore but I am really struggling with this. Very grateful if you could talk me through it.
Thanks heaps in advance
