On the Dream web-site the 500 is barely mentioned any more, so maybe support is being withdrawn? I certainly hope not.......

Problem solved, I used a previous version of DreamUp on my desktop and managed to flash the new Gemini. I then tried with my laptop and had success too. I can only assume the problem was with the latest DreamUp, although on the site it says "DreamUP V1.3.3.5 für alle Modelle".

Ok, another update to confuse things more. I have tried again, this time using my desktop, and I have the exact same message. I've flashed many times before on my desktop without problems, so I guess it is something to do with the latest DreamUp (1.3.3.5), or the latest Gemini (4.7).

Oh, I have no idea. I have only plugged it in and installed the driver. Would I find this out in propertys?

Rebooted my laptop (XP) qnd tried again with Gemini 4.7, but the same message. Tried to flash with original Dream firmware, and an older version of Gemini (4.2) several times, but again the same. My DB isn't a clone as far as I know, and it isn't freezing up. I can try again and again but...

Hi all, I'm trying to flash my 500 with the latest (4.7) Gemini image, (using a null modem, and the step by step instructions in the Idiot Guide), keep getting the same error message. After DreamUp tells me the box is alive, I plug it into he mains, then perform the flash, but about 10 seconds...

Thanks again all, my DB isn't a clone so flashing Gemini isn't a problem. However getting a bigger dish is at the the moment. I did try already to find 1W, but with no success, so I'm resigned to the black screen for now. It's not a problem as I'll be off abroad again in a couple of weeks and...

Thanks for the reply. Would my minidish pick up this sat? I'm on the south coast, near Brighton. And would the latest Gemini image work too? And with what cam? Finally, would the Satan key bundle work too? I've not yet gotten into key updaters or cs so it would be nice to know what is needed. I...

Hi again all, I've been abroad for the last 6 months and have returned home to find plenty of black channels. No surprise there as my 500 hasn't been touched in that time, but can anyone tell me if there's anything openable, preferably on 19E, but anything, and anywhere within the range of my...

Well done patoinsf, good to hear you've got it working. Check out the film channels too (Prem 1 to 4, and the Prem film portal all with English audio option), but be aware it also unlocks a mature content portal too (called Erotic AB 18 or similar). Legend :)

Hi patoinsf, the CCcam is for when I am pointing at 28E with my $ly Freeview card, and the MgCamd (in conjunction with some keys) is for 19E, for the Premier Sport Portal as described above by john_graydon. Good luck.

Sorry mhku our posts overlapped. My var couldn't have been too full as I only had MgCamd and CCcam installed. I'm sure it wasn't for that reason but at least it's ok now. It is just because the error message looked familiar to language similar to that used in DreamBoxEdit which made me wonder...

Ok, I've just re-flashed Gemini 4.2, scanned 19E, added MgCamd 1.27 (and config), FTPed Satan files, and no problem, all is good again. I'm still not sure why that error came up, but it's all working again and I can look forward to the footie tonight. Cheers everyone, Dreambox rules OK.

Yes, the only thing I've changed lately is the new image (upgraded from Gemini 4).

Hi again all, I've recently started having problems FTPing Satan files to my 500, and I receive this message: An error occured copying a file to the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to put files on the server. Details: 200 Binary it is, then. 227 Entering Passive Mode...
