  • Rescanned DM500s box and now confused. Have I knackered it

    Thanks for the replies guys,


    I paid for the box and cline upfront which was guaranteed for at least 12 months.


    As I am only into the 9th month of the 'contract' that is why I am asking for this information.


    Sorry for being a bit of a nonce but how do I ftp the box to check if the cline is still in the file...or would it be easier to get a null cable.


    Thanks for the replies

  • Rescanned DM500s box and now confused. Have I knackered it

    Hi,


    I have a Dreambox DM500S which was working fine until a few weeks ago when only BBC1 was showing and all other channels were blank.


    I managed to get into the setup menu by guessing the password and then went onto rescanning the box (via the backup/restore menu).


    Once this finished the skin changed to another style and none of the sly channels are showing. Only FTA channels.


    I am totally confused and would appreciate any pointers or help. Also will the cline details still be on the flash memory so that if I could reuse it to get the channels I paid for.By the way I suppose I will need to buy a null cable.


    I hope the above makes sense.

  • Channels gone ..confused

    Hi I bought an openbox DM500s several weeks ago and all has been fine up until this morning.


    While I was watching sly movies the screen froze so I switched to another channel which in turn gave a blank screen except the details at the bottom.


    So I rebooted the box but still the same. Since then I have rebooted the router, swapped Ethernet cables and restarted enigma BUT all I get are the free view channels and on the premium channels I just get a black screen but with the details of the program at the bottom.


    I do not know the password to get to the system menu and hope that there maybe something simple that is causing the problem.


    Any help appreciated.


    Thanks
