Are you on a static or dynamic ip from your ISP? If dynamic you'll need to set something up like DynDNS DynDNS.com - Managed DNS, Domain Names and more!

Do you have a static or dynamic DNS address? If you're dynamic create an account with Dyndns and setup a host record. PLi? Images website

Then setup your router to automatically update dyndns (if it has that feature) or on your Dreambox Blue button -> Services/Daemons -> Inadyn (Dynamic DNS Client).

Now give your mate your DynDNS hostname.

For DM500 with EPG from Rytec try PLI Jade http://linuxsat-shares.com/dm5…-pli%AE-dm500-images.html

Rytec EPG Stuff here Rytec.be - Xmltv import plugin - dreambox enigma1 & enigma2 epg settings

Are you connection via a network cable or wireless connection? If you're using wireless could you try using a network cable and see if its still stops during a transfer?

Have you managed to get it working?

Thanks you that will be very useful for forum members.

My Openbox has the brown/yellow card reader board. Unfortunately I've had to send it back to the dealer for a replacement because it looks like the power supply has blown so not had chance to test the new firmware yet.

Try to get my kids to bed before 8pm but that doesn't alway happen LOL...

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is an easy way of identifying a clone from an original openbox other than the yellow brown card reader circuit board for the in the original against thre green card reader circuit board in the clone because of the 2011 firmware issue causing the clone box error.

I've included photos of a clone and original from another forum but was wondering if there is another way of identifying them e.g. MAC address?

Finally is anyone have any problems with the March 2011 firmware on Original Openboxes?

The blind scan is a really useful feature anyone tried this and does it work?

Thanks for your help I'll have a look

Here is a link to check your port is open through your router.

Open Port Check Tool

Don't do it with a Gemini Image either...

vHannibal is also good http://linuxsat-shares.com/eni…bal-e2-bouquet-packs.html

To go with the 7 days worth of EPG I also use a plugin called AutoTimer which will automatically scan the EPG for programs I want to record. Very useful! With Gemini this comes up as one of the available plugins to install from Manage Plugins.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Openbox will play a ..TS file copied from a Dreambox onto a USB drive plugged into the Openbox or if there is a way of converting to the Openbox DVR format?

Hi,

Just wondering if the Rev M tuner is worth the upgrade? Currently have the L3 in my box and everything works ok with an inline booster. Is there that much of an improvement?

You can also import the Satman feed into CrossEPG. I've provided a script here: http://linuxsat-shares.com/dm8…g-feed-into-crossepg.html

You can use file manager if your image is Gemini Blue button followed by the Red button then browse th the /tmp directory and I think its green to execture the installer file.

Alternatively you could use Putty or Dreambox Control Centre from a PC. Use the telnet option then the ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-crossepg_ETC.ipk

Hi,

I picked this up from another forum. It connects to Satman, downloads the 7 days worth of EGP data for SKY UK and Sky IT, loads it into Cross EPG and restarts Enigma2.

Tested on Gemini V4.7 and 5.1.

Remove the .txt extension, put the script into /usr/script, set the permissions to 755 and run from file manager.

I got it from here Downloads - crossepg - An EPG for enigma2 based dvb receivers - Google Project Hosting

Puit it into /tmp and did a manual install.

Also did the WD40 trick myself still nice and quiet 3 months later :-)
