Cheers Dig Deep - Yeah you were right - I got an gemini image about version 3.1 and it came back to life! Now to find a decent image for it that has a good Sly EPG - cheers for the reply!

Hi, I mistakenly (in my hurry to look for a bargain) bought a cloned 7020Si. I've been playing with on and off for a few years now. Basically, the box will power on withe the Dreambox logo in the display, it then says "boot 35", then "dhcp... /flash/zimage.elf" then the lcd goes blank. In this...

Safcsat - I've had a different experience to PaulR - I've had no problem pairing both my sky cards to the same HD box. I've never been asked for a box seriel number, only the software version. I had the first card paired when the engineer turned up. I then removed that card, used it in my DM500...

Willy - sorry for not replying sooner. AS I understand it, if you can't connect your sky box to the phoneline, the installation will fail. The engineer who set up the HD box said he'd had a few instances where the box couldn't install due to the phone line and he'd had to take the box away. I'm...

Tried that link and it's dead - moved to other domain. Is it the same info as the menu on one liveonsat > links > Sport on Satellite TV? Cheers

Hi Willynt, I'm fairly sure the 800 can be used to read a new sky card using NewCS with the boxkey inserted in the config. There's loads of threads with tutorials on how to do this. This issue that I cam across is that if you don't have HD at the minute, Sky have to sell you your first box so...

Just a follow up note to say I've managed to get my HD upgraded. Contra to Analogsat's post, Sky did not ask me for the Sky box's Serial number - I just had to replace my original HD card in the HD box with the multiroom card, perform a new installation wiith call back and the signal went...

Cheers for the replies. I had a call from Sky customer care last night after I wrote in complaining about one of their call centre monkeys screaming down the phone at me. After getting sorted what I needed and a bit of a credit I asked her about it. I basically said I was being given a HD...

Sorry if this has been answered, but searching for this has brought up either zero or millions of results! I've just had Sky HD upgraded and the multiroom card is still just normal Sky+. I want to upgrade this to HD, but use a non-sky supplied box - eg a Dreambox 800. Having spoken to Sky, I...

Hi - been following this post with interest. Just upgraded to HD and had it installed last week. I received the new cards but didn't update them until the engineer arrived. Hid my 500 in the bedroom and let him install the HD box and move the old Sky+ box into the other room and use a new...

Thanks very much! I'll get downloading. Only reason I went for the LT5 was to try and get the Sky epg. Still I'll give it a go and try and get it working

Well that certainly would explain things - I did try to press left and right and nothing came up. I'll try again - got nabilosat going on there now - if that works thenI'll go back to LT5 One other thing - tried telnetting into the box and first time got a message like "press <return> and then...

Just got my DM800 and flash the LT image to it via dreamup and null modem cable. ONcew booted go to tuner configuration and detects the tuner as an ALPS tuner, but says nothing connected Have I missed something real easy (btw - the satellite cable is connected and I've tested that it's working...

Nah - there was no rain. A little overcast, a bit windy - feel like Michael Fsh now..... I bit the bullet and got an engineer round to test the signal and he reckons it's fie - tested a couple of different sats so looks like the arc is fine too (he complimented me on setting it up too -...

So I'm watching Sky Sports this morning - fine for an hour - then the BER rate starts to go up and the SNR drops from 91% to 65%. Lose the picture so I turn the TV off. Go back to it 20 mins later and it's back perfect. There are no trees or obstructions behind the house, nothing has touched...
