DM 500 HD recognize the original ??

if it shows this info, than it isn't original, it is ferrari sim

Quote from Adri212

Could I get them back up and running with some firmware for a friend?

Yes, but remember Ferrari supported only Kernel 2.6... on that hardware, if you want the latest images you need to run the Kernel 3.2, and this means using newer drivers and Sims... The Japhar is supporting the latest drivers available, and you will get IPTV support, DVB-S2/T as well via USB (as that box has a USB port on the back)... etc.

It's worth upgrading...

There are still some old images with Kernel 2.6 because it is not worth spending money on them

You will only get DVB and old oscam, etc... as well as the boxes was crashing due to bugs on patch of drivers.

The only image I would tip you to use is this one,

NewNigma2 from 2011 for DM500HD : https://mega.nz/#!57xRSD5b!D0Z…987jGboskqLWHVPtEuZMccSE0

or this one,
