    Help! I think my Dreambox is dead

    Sorry I should have said, When I run dreamup on my PC, it doesn't see the Dreambox at all. I've also tried pinging the box via ethernet but no joy. I'm thinking I'll have to try JTAG programming, but I haven't looked at what's involved yet. Thanks for the replies Regards Mark

    Equidia International

    No, it's specifically French Racing. At least for now, maybe German at a later date. Rolf, I presume you meant the PC Card section of this forum? Thanks to you both for your help. Regards Mark

    Equidia International

    Sorry for this, one more silly question, I read about the Skystar 2 Card and it implied it was only good for Free to Air Satellite channels. Can I use it for a TPS Subscription Service? Cheers Mark
