    where is the BACKUP button on dreamup?

    It's now in the early hours. I thought I'd got to the point to try a new image (1.0.8). So I got the latest dreamup (universal) and the DM500 version for good measure. I also got the 1.0.8 and the 1.0.6 images. I read carefully the DM500 manual. Got all the cables plugged in all right. I real...

    DM 500 Question

    Sounds like you're not NATing the outgoing packets ? ... not sure how you would do this with a 'DOZE' box ... for me it's a setting on my ADSL (routing) modem

    ggrab is better

    .. by PC, I'm assuming you mean a PC running Linux? I've read the man page, the source code and sat tracing the IP traffic ! Still no joy. If I launch ggrab 'by hand' with pids etc, I see inetd(8) lauch two processes on the DM500 however both of these have their connections go into FIN WAIT 2...

    ggrab is better

    Can you give me some idea of how you are using ggrab ? I've built it (redhat9) and finally figured out that you need to start it via sstream (not ggrab command) ... how do I kick off a 'record' If I use the web interface I just get some NFS activity (and a zero lenght file) but nothing seems to...

    DM500S motor cannot find Astra2 (28.2E)

    Ahh! Only recently got the DM500S. Can't understand the drive to install the 'alternate images' ... I gather some have dodgy codes etc, but aside from that, why? (I assume the answer is of the form XXX has these features YYY) is there anywhere to get lists of XXX and YYY? What I was intending...

    ggrab sstream for linux in german

    Heeeelp! I suspect it's possible to record the ts (video stream) from my 500S (the docs say it's TBD) to that end I got hold of ggrab in source code and compiled it clean for Readhat 9 (built like a dream in about 10 seconds) However the small amount of documentation is in German making it hard...

    DM500S motor cannot find Astra2 (28.2E)

    Yep, working fine with gotoXX (this is a rotor sat HH100) ... btw this quotes operating voltages of 13-18 V just quoting slower speeds for lower voltages. I've not tested my LV supply, but I did for a couple of 9V supplies for DVD players etc and they were somthing like 10V and 12Vso most of...

    DM500S motor cannot find Astra2 (28.2E)

    Nope, since the manual lists DiSEqC 1.2 in the tech specs and instructions explain how to setup & install it. Also it's not just the gui that offers it, it would not work at all unless they had installed the hardware to generate the currents.

    DM500S motor cannot find Astra2 (28.2E)

    Always nice to start a new forum with a solution rather than a problem :-) Got a brand new DM500S, and a motor (Rotot sat HH100) going west to east, after I'm out of the trees it works great up to 28.3E ... which is a pain given how many services there are there :-( Anyhow to cut a long story...
