    Connect serial cable to back of your dreambox .Now you can disconnect the USB cable from PC & use a Mains powered USB hub the unit will boot in Phoenix mode.Now you have external cardreader.


    Please note. with certain images depending on the firmware you cannot reboot your box with the serial reader connected, i am using plijade and there are no problems at all.
