Not exactly LoL. I've got access to 3 boxes locally, a 500, 600 and 800. I've also got the ability to tinker with another 500 and 800 remotely. I'm writing a PHP/MySql web app to manage it all, and I intend to opensauce it once its in a workable state, so might as well start off with a...

I've been doing a bit of work on this, not because I should, but because I want to :) I'm a stickler for punishment. CronD seems to be the way to go, fetching an update script on a regular basis, processing any changes then doing any reboots as required. One issue that I've got though is...

Hey B16MCC, can you post v1.0.1? Been trying to get access to it on DMUK but can't reply to anyone and don't want to spam that forum with pointless threads to get to the three posts rule? I have a few bug reports from 1.0.0 but don't want to suggest them if they've been fixed in .0.1.

Thanks for the comments guys. I've tested Reverse SSH tunnelling from the dreambox into a remote server, but its not stable, and if the connection is dropped, it doesn't resume. So I couldn't use it for automated C&C. At best, it would have to be either a yellow button script or a nightly...

Are there any remote command and control applications available for the Dreamboxes? The reason I ask is that a few friends and family are interested in using the DM boxes as freeview/freesat style boxes on my recommendations of price & features. However, as they're not Linux aware nor that...

Ive considered the same thing myself as my 'inherited' 28" SAMMY CRT is on its way out. Looking at the figures for most suppliers, I could buy and own outright the same kit bought from my local cumet within 10-15 months depending on the exact kit I wanted, and should last for 6 years (if you can...

I use Powerline ethernet to stream video from the dreambox to other devices on my network, so can confirm it works well (better than wireless). I've also CCCam CS also works across it. As far as the network layer is concerned, the link is transparent and is basically like any other cat5 type...

Try _www.satstore.co.uk/ They ship internationally, and may be able to source a tuner even though there are non listed. I bought my DM600 from them and were excellent to deal with.

Are you only seeing BBC1 in your channel lineup? I've seen it before where the Satellites database is knackered on startup. You can recheck these settings from the Settings/Satellites and Transponders menu item. If everything looks right, try doing a manual scan using the settings from a...

Generally when my DM600 crashes, either Enigma just resets itself, or I get a green-screen of death with crash logs shown. When they crash, can you still connect via telnet? If so, you could try typing dmesg at the command prompt and seeing if there are any clues, or browsing the logs in...

First up let me state there isn't a native Spotify client available for the Dreambox (AFAIK), but it is possible to listen to a Spotify Music stream from a Windows PC on your DM. I wanted to achieve this because I love Spotify's model (so much so, I bought a subscription) but my Netbook has a...

My DM600/CCCam 2.1.4 has since lunch time today decided that there is no card inserted. Card seems to work OK in my original Sly Amstrad box and decrypted straight away after booting, despite the Ammy not being turned on for a couple of months. I suspect this may be a Dreambox failure rather...

Hey DBFan's - just wanted to add my short contribution. The below script can be run at any point on my Debian Lenny Linux 'server' that is local to the dreambox. It uses WGET to grab the current channel descriptor from the dreambox (I'm using a Pli-Jade image on a DM600) and whacks this in...

Worryingly, I just get "Entitlements for Reader 0 not found!" I DO see Entitlements when the blue card is inserted though. I wonder if the white card is stuffed. I've not noticed any issues with heat. How queer.. Is it possible to 'test' the white card in a sky box - it can definitely see...

Not sure what's happened, but my working card appears to have borked itself. Was working fine when I went to bed last night, now it won't decrypt anything (ftv channels still work). I've put it back in my sly box, and encrypted channels just show "Channel not available". I'm pretty sure that...
