    When updating the bootloader, do I use the .nfi or the .bin file?

  • Can anyone recommend a new image please?

    Hi guys.


    I have a few satellite receivers. but the one in question here is my DM800 PVR (Clone)


    I've had it since 2011 and basically only used it for watching sport, but recently, I purchased a VU Solo 2 SE (from the same guy) and it came 'ready to go' out of the box, 500GB hard drive, Cross EPG, very user friendly skin, very responsive to remote input, very easy to set up recordings etc. It made me think about perhaps updating the DM800.


    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a newer image than the one I have on it currently have which is detailed below:


    • Black Hole
    • Dream Elite
    • Sim 2.01
    • This is the name of the NFI file: sim201-SS82-de-133dv3PHOENIX2-dm800-13052011.nfi
    • The EPG no longer works, won't connect
    • Unable to mount hard drive, initialisation error
    • Couple of other irritating things that I kind of overlooked until I started using the VU Solo 2 SE




    I went back to the guy who originally sold me all my receivers, for a recommendation, but he said that as they are clones could possibly be bricked by flashing unsuitable images, he could not recommend an image because he could not stand over his recommendation in case anything went wrong. Which was fair enough.


    I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a newer image than my current one, which will definitely not destroy my box.


    I'd love a working EPG, Cross EPG, ability to mount a hard drive etc.


    I don't know if it will accept OpenPLI or OpenVIX images and I dare not risk it because I'll have to fork out another €250 on the VU Solo 2 SE.


    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

  • Channels Changed Frequency - Please Help!

    Hey folks,


    Just wondering if anyone could offer some advice here.


    I have a DM800SE with Enigma2 as my main STB in the living room and a DM500 with Enigma1 in another room in the house.


    Recently some sports channels changed frequency. On my DM800 this isn't a huge problem as I have Autobouquets installed and it just takes a quick rescan.


    However, on the DM500, I don't have Autobouquets and a full automatic scan does not bring the channels in for me.


    I have the settings required for a manual scan on the DM800 as Autobouquets provided them for me, however, when I try to enter them on the DM500 to find the channels, I am unable to set the FEC to 4/5, which is required. I presume there are different settings required for Enigma1 systems?


    The settings I need to input are as follows: (Two batches)


    DVB-S2, 28.2E
    Freq - 11082
    SR - 22000
    Horizontal
    FEC - 4/5


    DVB-S2, 28.2E
    Freq - 11170
    SR - 22000
    Horizontal
    FEC 4/5


    Just wondering if there are 'equivalent' settings that I can use on the DM500 or how would I get these two batches of channels? An updated Enigma1 channel list perhaps?


    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
