Dear homer
For a minute I thought you had pulled one on us oldies
Thor Kiosk1 working.
But Kiosk1, of course, is the preview. How about 2,3,4 etc ??

 

[homerjay]

May I suggest hydra56xx_zeus, as I have just installed it myself, set up Lon/Lat, then selected a list of Sats sto scan and off it went, unlike the previous couple of images I have tried. Plus it looks cool too.

Only one problem I have is either my dish is not set right or not sufficient to lock onto certain Sats like 42E and also I think it needs find tuning on certain Sats too.

Keep us informed how you get on.

Cheers

 

[homerjay]

cheers djc, thats what i'll do...

right image flashing, this'll be fun...............

 

[homerjay]

right im stuck

using dream up through network hub.
hub 10.0.0.2
pc 10.0.0.10
dream 10.0.0.5

now i CAN ping 10.0.0.5 but using dreamup i click connect and it just sits there?

any idea?

 

[djc]

When I flashed I used the Null Modem cable. Also when starting Dreamup you need to untick "Use Network".

Thats how I did it anyway, its slower than over the Lan but more stable, when I get setup better I'll give maybe try over the Lan.

Cheers

wont work, just read on sat-industry that i should just dump the image in temp folder via ftp and rename as root.cramfs then select manual update, so thats whats its doing now, fingers crossed...

 

[T_G]

well Homer, using dreamuplan or flashwizard seem to be the best ways of loading up images. The root.crmfs is also a method, but I am not sure it is the best.

 

[homerjay]

right, got my box now on my router so internet connection working.
got hydra image installed.
downloaded newcamd [5.27] (5.28 not in download list?)
still struggling with diseqc for multi sats though, so still on thor.

Download the latest panel by the green button. 5.28 is there. Exit and go back in again.

How you getting on Homerjay ?

 

[homerjay]

terrible ;)

 

[Striker10]

What stage are you at? ....

 

[homerjay]

the end............... coz i think ive killed it....

see thread entitled "Almost there with DB5620S"

 

[BGonaSTICK]

Bet you haven't. Stay cool, and try a flash erase. Take it slow. They're harder to kill than Osama Bin Laden.

 

[homerjay]

i'm gonna get myself a new cable today and try a flash erase...

 

[T_G]

we all been ther Homer, so why shouldn't you supper as well?! Just null modem the bastard and it will be ok.

 

[easysat]

Maybe some enterprising university could offer a degree in the subject: BA Combined Dreambox Management and German Studies... At the very least there should be enough in there to do a City & Guilds Dreambox Proficiency Certificate.:-comp
