Dont forget to mention that the DM500 has not been manufactured in a while so any "new" boxes will be a clone so best avoided as support is limited.

Not sure about checking the mac address or serial there are lots of comparisons of clones/originals on the WWW but they look at visual differences. Where are you purchasing the box from?

Have a look on Google or Yell.com for "scaffold supplies" or maybe plant hire companies in your area. Companies like SGB who hire or sell scaffold are probably your best bet but you might have some luck with a local scaffold erector. I got my 8ft pole from my local Deborah Services depot, they...

Hi bebo79 You dont say what Dreambox you have or which image you are using but the answer is yes, you can download a channel list. Depending on which image you are using you may be able download a list directly from your box. Have a look on the WWW for one of the following try them all and...

I agree forum sponsors, or Mark at Satstore or the dreambox shop in Camberley (terrible website and mixed opinions on service or lack of but he is a genuine distributor). As for what its like........yeah its good Im very happy with it great for streaming to my PC but given that you have a...

Using Vhannibal settings myself as they are regularly updated and easy to navigate. Downloadable from BH firmware also which helps. Load them into Dreamboxedit and away you go.

Yep looks like its installed and runs just fine. Just set to Windows XP compatibility mode and run as administrator. Running Windows 7 64bit myself but I doubt Vista will be much different

If you can point me in the direction of a copy I will give it a go. Im not actually sure what Trex is or what I would use it for.

Check your path for VLC or just add this to the target you alread have (--intf wxwin --extraintf=http ) My VLC is in "D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"and by cutting and pasting (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http) I get the same error as you.

After studying the likes of dishpointer I was 100% certain that I was pointing at 1W.................I wasn't! Read the guides as Sateliteman suggests, I think I know all the words and I can certainly see all the photos:-rofl2.............Seriously though. Take it slowly as the...

Thanks Tom ................What a great list. Its got to be helpfull to lots of people including me!

Looking around other forums it looks like your dongle needs to have either a "Zydas ZD1211B" or "RAlink RT73" chipset but I could be wrong.

Wow slow down Im exhausted just trying to catch up on whats been going on. Be careful with the Auction sites theres lots of kit that looks too good to be true and probably is. If you tell us what this receiver is and how much its on for, is it new or used etc we can help you find a bargain...
