I'll have to correct you on that, "MAC Checking" started, on Gemini V.4.30, with a "DOS" (Denial of Service) where "Blue Panel" access denial, was implemented, and, where MAC harvesting took place. On Gemini v4.31 the "head.ko file was changed (with Dreambox's help), the result was corruption...

It's not about the picture, it the MAC address the units uses which will determine weather the unit is a "Clone" or, "Original". If the units MAC address starts with 00:12:25:xx:xx:xx it's a clone. IF it starts with 00:09:34 it's an "Original" About the only danger to a "Clone" is running...

@Turok Actually that 2 minute startup, sounds pretty close to normal, for boot up time on a Dreambox. Dreambox is very different from most STB's, in that, it's a computer, doing satellite tasks. If this is a new install, have you completed the rest of the initialization process , like setting...

Probably only picks up the Chinese version, of the "Grand Old Opera". But, seriously, even Real Dreambox's, don't denote or list, the true country of origin. I'd wager the clones and real box's were both produced by the same factory's. And, the clone issue is really just over another contract...

Did you add a channel list, or, are you trying to scan for channels. Adding a "known working channel list", is the fastest, and the better option, to getting the system up and going quick. Scanning seems to be Dreambox's Akillies heal. None do a very accurately, or, consistently job. DSM's...

I agree Stay Away from Gemini, unless you want your clone "Bricked". If that happens you'll need to reload the boot loader with a J-tag connector. What gets you hurt with Gemini, is the unit's MAC address 00:12:25:xxxx is a clone. Your box will run just about any other image though. Start the...

Your assumption of it being a "Real Dreambox", just because it displays a official hologram is flawed. "Clones" have the same security Hologram, as All the units were manufactured in the same factories in the P.R.C. The more logical thought is to look at the units "actual" Mac address, (and, not...

I take it your trying to cut down on the time it takes the Dreambox to scan active transponders. Figuring there's no use looking at dead wood. Well, none of the images available do a very good job of scanning active transponders in the first place, The best of the lot is DSM's image. This is...

WOW, Just to see if I could do it from the instructions, I tried it. This was the easiest done, yet most complex thing, I've tried is quite some time. And, it appears to have worked, except, one of the DL sites failed to connect, and timed out, after 20 attempts. So, I think it why Ngrab wasn't...

Subject: Generating Satellite XML lists for Dreambox scanning There's a lot of satellite lists out there, and, the one size fits all approach leaves a lot to be desired for most users. I've found two sites, that when used in conjunction, that could greatly help in generating the information...
