It updates TPS.AU, whereas 1.29 had stopped doing that on 10/4/8. The strange thing is that TPS.AU not being updated didn't seem to prevent operation.

Did you see my message #16? I connected my 500 to a friend's computer last week and was surprised at how easy it was. Don't give up!!!!

I connected my 500s to a PC running XP using a crossover cable successfully recently. Be sure to tick the DHCP box in the Communication Setting of the Dreambox and reboot the Dreambox. In my case, the Dreambox then found the correct IP address and I was able to go on line using the Blue Button...

Further to my last message, which concerned the information to access the box via FTP or Telnet, if you want to access the user information for sharing, look at the file "passwd" which is in /var/etc. You can access this, either using Total Commander from your PC or via Tuxcom, which you can...

Unless the details have been reset by your room mate, the original username is "root" and the password "dreambox". It's worth a try!

I have identified the event causing the Enigma restart referred to in message #3. After using the Links Web-browser, the exit (lame) key enables return to the TV programme, as expected. It is a subsequent attempt to change channel or bouquet that results in Enigma restarting. These changes...

Hi theorangelaptopguy, If you're still interested, I bought a Technomate 8000 in late 2003 and struggled with it for a few months. It dropped out frequently when watching programmes and the promised software updates were not available. It didn't meet its spec in many areas and I returned it...

Hi again HB13DISH, Have now upgraded to Gemini 4.20 (with problems of Hotbird (13°E) not locking until I put in new satellites.XML file) but have still had the enigma restart when changing channel or going from a plugin back to a channel. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Thanks HB13DISH, I have noticed one or two problems recently, such as enigma restarting occasionally when changing channels. I suspected the old 7000s power supply problem, due to my recent additions, but now I think it may have been caused when I upgraded to 4.10. In this game it is always...

Having owned a 7000s since 2004, I could never understand the need for a keyboard until one became available on Ebay recently. This forum was the only place where there seemed to be any interest in the topic and it was due to the information unearthed by HB13DISH that I decided to buy one. I...

Hi HB13DISH, Many thanks for your quick reply. I'm terribly sorry that I have wasted your time by an imprecise message. It was a Dreambox keyboard I bought (for £12.50) and it is details of the Dreambox keyboard that I was seeking. I had looked at the threads you described, before deciding...

Bought a keyboard on E-bay recently, have been delighted with E-Mail and Browser plugins and have also used it for entering keys. The full letters and numbers are available, both with Tuxcom and on Internet, but I have one or two minor problems. When entering text, "?" character appears when...
