    Are all images ok for a 500 ?

    Just got my new 500S and have two questions

    1) Are all images ok for my new 500s (Its new so it will be a clone )

    G, image has caused problems in the past.

    2) Should I wait and get a USB stick in the back or just flash ???

    Regards

    DO NOT USE GEMINI IMAGE

    All other images will be just fine, DM500 does not multiboot so you can not put a USB in it

    Use Nabilo Darkstar II for ease of set up and features

    I thought newer gemini images for the dm500 clones were ok? Only version 4, or whichever it was, will crash your box. Can someone confirm or not?!

    Cheers

    It is the latest Gemini images that trash your box.

    Best advice is avoid all Gemini images for any DM500 - original or clone.

    Try to avoid GEMINI 4.60 because it contains TIME **** as they say and it will crash your receivers , but GEMINI 4.40 is safe . GOOD LUCK

    Hi guys,
    I see this post is a bit old now.

    Please can you let me know what are the best images to use at the moment?

    I have a DB800HD & think about getting a 500 for another room in this house.

    Cheers

    Warning - You can only buy clone DM500s nowadays and Gemini images are not safe on any clone.

    Even if you get a DM500 secondhand which the seller claims to be original - why take the risk. There are many other good images to use.

    Thanks guys,
    I'm thinking about getting a clone box.

    Like I said I have original 800HD in my living room but want another box in my room.

    I will only use it for the NFL season starting soon. So will only use it for EPSN on 19E and NFL feed on 15W.

    So dont really want to spend another £400 on a dreambox just for a few hours on Sunday night.

    Thanks for your help

    all gemini images above 4.2 are unsafe for your clone dm 500 unless they are non **** versions,,,,,,dark star 2 is the image i would choose ,although seems to get corupted if box is powered off a few times,,,best to leave on standby if not using for periods of time,,,also great for motorised dish
    not a bad little server either.
