Shy Channels on sat with dreambox 500s

just picked it up wrong thats all

 

dan, an ethernet cable does not wipe a box. i suspect the problem you have is that the image on the box is corrupt so when it receives ethernet communication it hangs or whatever. suggest you reflash your box. i have always found pli images to be the most stable images available for the dm500

 

yeah perhaps fint but i have sly netgear wireless router at home and it works fine just when i put the box at my mates on the vermin modem it goes funny what do you think about my post before that would that be the same as doing an external share

 

dan, internal and external share are a totally different matter. cline for internal share is c: 192.168.x.x (ip address of your dreambox) 12000 username password. cline for external share is c: dyndnsip 12000 username password no.

jack, you may not get so many cold stares at christmas. however with clone boxes you simply must include an in-line amplifier at the backend of your dm800 to ensure that the tuner will give proper clarity on hd channels.

 

ok mate do i have to change the port number on the server dreambox for an ext share

 

fintannl hd channels not a problem for now,but will keep this in mind for the future.
thanks/jack....

 

So Could someone recommend a good box to start on and possibly somewhere to buy one?

Are the clones reliable?

Thanks

Ef

 

eoin, if you know enough about clones you need no advice, you already know

 

bar their existance i don't know anything , any experience i had was a while ago with cable boxes.

if you can't tell me which ones are reliable can you tell me which ones to avoid????

 

The DM500S clones are the cheapest option to get started with.

 

whats the most people you can allow for it to work with out any freezing.
what sort of internet speed would you need.

all to setup a CS between friends and family only around 7 people.

 

Once you have 1mb (on the client end at least you should be fine). At least 1mb on the server end, but preferably a bit higher, and a decent box as a the server box. Clone DM500S are fine as clients but the server box should be a bit better at least.

 

SG8, can you direct me where to get info on how to set up as a serv, 4 bodys, if possible.

Guys, to those that are intersested in the saga of the 800 box, it looks as if it can go on as long as Eastenders, they won't reply to any of my emails, since thursday last,
I have put it to PayPal, to see if they can resolve the problem or get my money back, i'm not sure if i can name the Company at this time, but i'm sure someone will inform me if it legal to do so.

 

name em mate, better out there, if ya had a bad meal in a restaurant, you would want to tell folks about it, so best to name, your not doing anything wrong

 

Thanks Mickah, not sure if it was legal or not, but as you say, 'or Shrek' better in than out. Dreaminthebox, ahh that feels better, but i would prefer if the machine was working, its so frustrating because I know the box has only a minor problem with the Tunar, and can be easly sorted, if they sent a new Tunar i could do it myself, I will keep the forum posted if there are any changes, because there are a lot of folk reading this forum that would think twice before buying.

 

Thanks for reply can you suggest a decent box as a server.

 

depends on what type of money you have to invest!

 

Around £200 what would that get me.
