Hi,

I want to change frm Gemini to Nabilosat as I heard it has epg available for european broadcasters.

If I change my image from Gemini to Nabilosat will my cccam and cline remain intact or do I need to reinstall them ?

Thx
 
you will need to reinstall them. Also, you should consider going to DreamElite which is the successor to Nabilo.
 
I am reading this guide but need to know how I put the image onto my dreambox.
I am using DCC to connect with my dreambox.
Do I just download the dreamelite image and move it to DCC ?
How do I do this exactly ?

How to Flash a new firmware for DM800 HD

Flashing a new firmware (image) by Browser
What you need to flash
You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.
You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
like HyperTerm.
You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
(non-cross) cable.
To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. If you don't have one, you have to setup
an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.

- Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by removing the power connector.
Standby is not enough!
.......
- (1.) Press and hold the power button. Replug the power connector into the Dreambox.
- (3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. Now you can release the button.
The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.
- (4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
(four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't
work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn't
work, set an IP using the serial terminal)
......
- Now, open a browser on your PC.
(1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
- (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.

On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.
You can't flash other images (like .img)!
- Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
- Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working

Via the network connection if its anything like the 7020 you get your image, put it somewhere where you can find it, follow the procedure above until you get the the upgrade firmware link. When you click on the linkbrowse to the image and hit load.

LEAVE IT for 10-15 minutes - go and make a cup of tea or something because you dont want to touch it whilst its flashing the image!!

If the box has multiboot capabilities (the 7020 does) then set that up instead - its far easier to swap images using flashwizard :)

Right so I have the image on my laptop. Now I can just move it to one of the folders in DCC and when I follow the guide above it should find the image automatically ?
 
Eh??

The instructions above are for flashing the box via your browser. Not via DCC!

will it let my select the image file (nfi) I have saved on the desktop ?
 
Yes it will - you just get a usual file dialogue box which lets you navigate to the file.
