7000s

[stepfordpete]

Trying to resurrect my old 7000. Using pc and null modem as the display just shows "Dream Multimedia" Connecting it via DreamUp it uploads flash loader then just hangs at "Waiting for Acknowledge" Is it worth persevering or is it ****ged? Ay ideas?

Have you tried the erase image file first ?
From memory you had to run it a few times to get a new image on when you had image flashing problems.

Problem being, I can't up anything to it

Are you using a PC with a proper comm port or via a USB adapter ?

[stepfordpete]

Yep, went out and bought a pci card.

Try some older versions of dreamup if you can find them, other than that pin check your null modem cable.
That fact you get a connection makes me think it will work.

Thanks for your help sonic. I'll give it another go when this games finished. If I get no joy I'll bin it. Might be getting a 7020 so don't go away lol

Hi there,
Sorry you had such problems with the dear old 7000 - I had different problems this week when I tried to run my Solo 4K box with an old Samsung TV out in our house in France - no picture possible due to the Hd level. So - dug out the old box - out of use for 5 years and it took time, but loaded up on an old Gemini prog; did a sat.channels run and the whole box flooded back to life. All works including recording and playback from recordings I never knew I did still work on the box - and I dont mean THOSE!! LOL
Hope the new 7020 is a success - although I am a dream box lover, and have both 8000HD and 7020Hd, I am very impressed with my solo 4k which I got from our site here, and after good help from Lee - and IPTV is a dream on that. Cheers to all - Brain
