Hi guys...
Having set up the new Dreambox 800 I'm recieving very weak signals on some of the transponders that were previously very strong on the 500s....I have also noticed that on some of the HD channels,especially S*y HD it's at about 20% strenght and quality...Has anybody else experienced this...My LNB is an Inverto IDLP-40SL Low Noise Figure 0.3dB...any suggestions would help...I'm CS and it's a pain not getting to watch. Cheers

Hi m8, I have just about figured out what Im doing with mine now. got it reading my sky card in the internal reader and connecting to my cardshare. I have tried Gemini, Pli and Nabilo Blackhole images and have had problems with the first 2. Nabilo has been rock solid. Gemini would not move my dish, Pli kept deciding to reboot itself for no apparent reason. When your flashing your box make sure to put the latest second stage bootloader on there, v62.
 
Hi tom...
I'm using latest gemini,...
* Is v62 inbuilt into gemini? or is that a seperate upload
* When I say CS I'm actually just recieving so at the moment I don't really need to read a S*y card..
* Has your signal dropped at all? I read in one of the threads posted here that there is an issue with the signal bar ,maybe I have got good signals but not showing up as good??
* I used nabilo but couldnt figure out how to download CCcam 2.9 with it..so went back to gemini...where do I download with nabilo?...BTW how's Freddy getting on with his new toy???
cheers

Yeah I think its built into gemin i3.8 but thats the one i could not get to move my dish, 3.7 drove it ok. The AGC is your strength of signal mine is 99% Snr is showing30%, thats the highest i can get on any channel. In blackhole you just press the green button then the yellow button to get on to their server for downloads

Have not seen Fred yet, hes coming up l8r for a tutorial, could be a long night, lol.
 
Cheers...will try nabilo again.

A good idea is to have all img on an USB so You can change whenever You want to - and quick as well.
