    As the guys said. dual lnb or seperate dish. If you are only using 1 box at a time then loop through will work ok.
    Watching via both boxes will only work if both are set on channels at the same transponder.

    In contrast with DM500s Gemini 4.60 GSF Mod , 4.70 GSF Mod comes in a universal flashing format, with a new GSF plugin server, and max free var.
    The additions and changes on the official Gemini 4.70 for the DM500s are:


    ---READ ONLY part of the image---




    * The "clone" bomb introduced after Gemini 4.3.1 is removed. Fully tested on clones.
    * CCcam 2.1.2.
    * Fix for the jerky streaming from the receiver to VLC, plus zapstream from Pli.(*1)
    * Audio priority for Greek audio, if found in the channel stream.
    * Ngrab Plugins (Start/Stop)
    * New logos for boot, service scanning and radio mode, provided by minotavrs.
    *All downloadable languages are fully functional, plus special modded Greek Fonts.
    * New addons server accessible from Blue Panel -> Addons (*2)
    * The online image update from Gemini Servers(Menu->Setup->Expert Setup->Software Update->Internet Update) is disabled, to avoid accidental
    internet update, and bootloader crash for clone boxes.
    * A script for a software change, of the receiver's MAC address, if it's not on the genuine range of dream multimedia.(*3)
    * Updated satellites.xml for the range of: Amazonas 1/2 (61.0W) - Eutelsat W5 (70.5E)
    * Grab for screenshot taking.
    * An small Greek/English language has been added during boot for English menus with Greek EPG.
    * All flashing methods available. DreamUp, Flash Wizard and root.cramfs. (*4)
    *Other minor fixes. (*5)



    (*1) For zapstream use just use VLC and open
    http://dreamboxip:31344 (where dreamboxip is your receivers IP)


    (*2) The addon server contains:


    - GSF Flexy 1.0.7 with the biggest Greek subtitles database for dreambox use, weekly Greek schedule for Nova (Greek Provider) and many more.
    - Drtic 2.2 configured to save subtitles in /tmp.
    - RSS Reader with Greek feeds.
    - Teletext with Greek characters support.
    - New Greek Enigma1 translation from mcelliot_g. The best and most complete till now.
    - Greek/English language for English menus with Greek EPG.
    - Official Greek language from Gemini.
    - CCCam Info 1.1.
    - Tuxbox Commander.
    - Selected plugins from Gemini servers.


    (*3) The Gemini team in v4.70 has implemented an additional clone check. If the receiver's MAC address is blacklisted the box can't connect to the
    internet.This problem is easily solved using GSF's plugin(Plugins -> Fix my MAC)


    (*4) The root.cramfs flash method has been tested to Gemini versions greater than v4.


    (*5) Besides the fixes, we have disabled the remote control via web interface due to non proper function.


    We should mostly thank minotavrs for providing the logos as well as mcelliot_g for his enigma1 translation.

    I found the easiest way to format as ext3 was using a linux live disk, i had to do this for my usb stick before the DM would reconise it.

    How to change the timeshift path


    In recording paths scroll to timeshift & press ok



    At this screen press menu then select switch to filelist


    Now browse to the correct patch and press green to save


    You will see the paths are different here this is for an external mount, everything works great except timeshift on hd channels can be a little jumpy.

    this is for your router
    Configuring Static Routes


    Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.


    From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the Static Route menu, shown below.

    Figure 6-9. Static Route Summary Table


    To add or edit a Static Route:
    1. Click the Add button to open the Add/Edit Menu, shown below.



    Figure 6-10. Static Route Entry and Edit Menu
    2. Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table.
    (This is for identification purposes only.)
    3. Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP.
    4. Select Active to make this route effective.
    5. Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination.
    6. Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination.
    If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.
    7. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router.
    8. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the Metric value.
    This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.
    9. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table.


    As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:


    o Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
    o You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router's address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
    o Your company's network is 134.177.0.0.


    When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the company's firewall.


    In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. The static route would look like Figure 6-10.


    In this example:


    * The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
    * The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
    * A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
    * Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated
