[QUOTE="zanders, post: 66108, member: 182300"] Its all good. Right then - Next phaze. You need to apply a decent image to your Dreambox, you can do this a couple of ways. either plug a laptop directly into your dreambox using an rj45 crossover cable or altenatively depending on your home setup plug your dreambox into a hub and at least one other pc into the hub. From here you can put a proper image onto your DB. At this point I would strongly recomend getting an rs232 null modem cable ( you will need this at some point when you kill your DB). You can also apply a DB image using the Null modem cable albeit very slowly. A good site for downloading images from is. [url="http://www.dreambox.net.au/firmware.php"]http://www.dreambox.net.au/firmware.php[/url] I would recomend the Hydra Lucien image. One more thing that you should be aware of is that all of your satelites will be lost once you apply the new image so you will have to start from scratch again - Crap I know but this a limitation of the DB. Once you have either a Null modem cable or an rj45 cable we can goto the next step. I am afraid its a baptism of fire but all I can say is that its worth it in the end. We are all Teachers and students when it comes to the Dreambox. [/QUOTE]
