    the 500s is okay but this Hd one is very annoying as they dont have the ccam.config already part of the image

    ,sim & bootloader version is vital to avoid a " no ca error ". Dream elite pheonix edition is a great image and you can d/l all you need through the image, just make sure bout your sim and bl.

    look on the box it came in or under the dm800 itself, your looking for something like sim2.01, turn your box off and on again, and watch the lcd display on the dm800, you should see something like bl 76c or d or 82. There are different types of sim and this dictates the images you can use for your clone,once you find this you can start looking for images to flash to your box.

    your bl is 82, your sim is more important, it's more than likely 2.01, but you'll have to make sure. So you can then try ie. " images for Dm800hd sim 2.01 " you have the latest bl82, just the sim you gotta check now.

    extract to a folder on your pc, keep all your images in it. Then anytime you wanna flash an image, you do as in video and browse your images saved on your pc. Make sure you find your sim first lol.

    pm'd you too

    only one way. download the correct bootloader for your version of box, download the image you would like to flash. connect null modem cable from computer to dreambox and flash bootloader and then image (do not reboot the box in between flashes). Most peoples issue with using laptop is that you have no serial connection on the laptop. Now you can buy a usb to serial connector, plug this into usb port on laptop and then connect the serial end to one of the ends of the null modem cable. My issue has always been trying to get drivers for my laptop to work the usb to serial connector. Preferred method is to go to a buddies house with a home tower pc and connect direct from this computer to the dreambox. up to you

    when you buy a clone dreambox the supplier by nature indicates what the ss version is. the most recent version is ss82. there is no way to identify this from the box itself in its current state so i suggest you look at your purchase information. the info should be there in black and white

    I don'have the purchase doc, i probably put it in the bin. the box is about 6-8 months old.

    Not my lucky week took holidays to do work at home, will end up divorced soon, if I don't get my act together, that's what happens when you play around, with boxes that is.
