Quote from cazuela

you cant use the same cline in both boxes at the same time ,meaning that one has to have #C:....
so that the other can feed of the cline 100% ....
for example if you are using the dreambox C:.... then the openbox should have #C:...... and vice versa..

no, i try a cline in my dreambox for 1hour ,,,,, turn dreambox off ,, then put same cline in openbox for 1 hour get some glitching ,,,,,,,,, the dreambox is 10 feet away from router ,,,,, the openbox is 30 feet ,,,,, does it matter how long the cable is or could it be a software problem ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thanx

no,,,,,, just using same cline in both ,,, one glitches,,,one doesn,t ,,,,,thanx

getting a bit of glitching on my openbox but don,t seem to get it on my dreambox ,, the only difference is the dreambox is 10 feet away from the router while the open box is about 35 feet away ,, could this make a difference or should i update firmware on openbox, if so does anybody reccomend a stable firmware......... thanx

got home from work tonight and its started working again,,,,,,,thanx

my tm2600 has just stopped working, its only 9 months old,, its been working fine untill tonight ,now it just doesn,t move at all can,t drive it with my dm800 and can,t move it manually also no light is on underneath ,i have checked the cable for looseness seems fine ,,,, is it worth trying a different cable or has anyone else had this problem,,,,, if its died can anyone reccomend a decent motor ,,,, thanx

i have read that , i wondered how do you get (54.91913) from Lat:54:55:09N and (-1.74859) from Lon:1:44:55W ,,, thanx

if my latitude is 53.4312 and my longitude is -2.1833 ,,, are the figures i enter into the dreambox diferent , if so can someone tell my why and what the figures should be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thanx

its ok, sorted it

does anybody know how to delete just a few channels, instead of deleting everything ,,,,,,,,, thanx

you have to record for over 2mins otherwise nothing records

can someone point me in the right direction for a tut on how to flash new firmware on to the s10 ,,,,,,,,,,, thanx

cheers,,, thanx for your help,,,,,

can someone tell me the difference between a clone image and a clone patched image,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thanx

right got it working now ,,, followed the instructions from thread 13 from lfcforever apart from the telnet thing ,,,,, instead i just changed the recording path on the dm800, menu/setup/system/recording paths changed the path to media/hdd saved it and it recorded ,,,,,,, thanx for all the help ,,,,, thanx

when you say telnet to dm800 and mkdir/media/hdd/movie ,,,,,, do i just type mkdir/media/hdd/movie and press enter on telnet screen on dcc , because it just keeps saying not found , i don,t normally use telnet , i usually just ftp ,,,,, thanx

tried both solutions apart from reinstalling dreamelite and still can,t get the hdd to work , it shows up but i can,t format it or initialise it ,,,,,, any one else had this problem, i,m using bootloader 82 and its a samsung spinpoint hdd ,,,,,,, thanx

Find the best method is to download Gparted

Code

h**p://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

Burn to cd, turn off PC and attach only the hdd you plan on adding to the dm800 (simply unplug any other hdd's)

Now boot gparted and go with the defaults, once it boots the partition tool will auto start.

You can now see your hdd, right click it and click new and choose ext3, click apply (if it already had a partition delete it then create the ext3)

Power off the pc and remove hdd and add it to your dm800, now power on dm800.

As it's the phoenix image, blue button twice and then choose device manager, now press red for mountpoint

Highlight the hdd and mount to /media/hdd and let it reboot.

To record you need to make a movie folder.

Telnet to the dm800 and

mkdir /media/hdd/movie

Have added quite a few external and internal hdd's to 800's for friends and family, never had a problem with this yet.

Personally I do not think the dm800 is powerful enough to ready hdd's 500gb + on a dm800, hence so many people have problems.

Good Luck.

[edit] BTW, Gparted is a live linux partition manager.
