    In gemini press the "blue" button on your remote --> addons --> download & install.

    Here's a set-up procedure that I've copied and pasted from sleepy on another forum, all credit to sleepy, hope this helps.

    1. Unpacked the dreambox
    2. Plugged it in (including network cable to router or PC) and went thru the initial setup (probably dont need this step!!)
    3. Turned off the box at the wall and held in the power button on the box, then switched back on at wall, to get into a mode to load new firmware
    4. The oled on the front shows **BOOT** and an ip address.
    5. Fire up a web browser and enter http://<ip shown on db>
    6. This takes you into a web page where you can click to load new firmware.
    7. browse to where your new firmware image is (I downloaded and LOVE the latest Gemini image)
    8. Click on load/go and thats it - sit back for a couple of minutes till status bar on web page shows "complete"
    9. Press the power button on your DB this will restart your box and load the new Gemini firmware with a CLASS looking boot screen.
    10. Go thru initial setup (as per original image)
    11. Here you can either scan satellites, or cancel and load settings from the gemini server (blue button)
    12. After initial setup I pressed the BLUE button on the remote - then choose addons and selected gemini server.
    13. This gives you access to softcams and all sorts. All I needed was Cccam, so choose this, and it installed.
    14. FTP'd a cccam.cfg to my box (usual place /var/etc) then off I went.

    Once you run thru the initial setup - press the GREEN button and choose "Software update" - this will install the latest dvb drivers

    That's great advice guys, I am just awaiting my network access point and USB stick, I guess before I install anything on the USB stick, I've guess I've got to format it using Fl**hWiz**d?

    I couldn't get Fl**hWiz**d to work with the DB800

    I used DCC to fire Barry Allen accross as a plug-in, then used barry Allen to sort the USB stick.

    Hope this helps.

    I see from time to time how new DM800 users make a difference between Enigma(2) and inofficial images...ALL images are Enigma(2), the inofficial images are simply customized versions by different teams.

    No you go to Blue Panel > Addons and Configs then download CCam config file.

    I have done all this again & again but still black screen on prem***
    What am I doing wrong ???

    When I restart the splash screen with the gp2 logo still says loading enigma once the blue panel has finished boot. Is this correct or do i need to do something else.

    Please Help !!!

    "I used DCC to fire Barry Allen accross as a plug-in, then used barry Allen to sort the USB stick." How do I do this? Which folder do you put the plug-in in to then use DCC?

    Still cant get my stab motor to move!!

    Can the 800 be made to work with gfox2.1? Also got a 7020 on which it works.

    looks like you let the dreambox bootup instead of holding in the little button near the front oled when you first switch it on

    once you have done this , you will get some details i,e BOOT , and an ip address so write that ip down

    now put that IP into your web browser after http:// and you will get the loading screen on your pc ( assuming you are connected by ethernet through a router )

    then you browse to the file as per the instructions and tell it to load , then leave it while it flashes the box until it says complete

    when you reboot the box , go through all the menus to setup different things like the screen and network , and the motor or fixed dish part too

    then when finished assign a fixed ip for the dreambox in its menu , so that it always uses this same local ip address ( apart from when you are flashing it )

    so eventually if the router is say 192.168.1.1 as a host , set the dreambox to say 192.168.1.15 or some other number a good 10 or more away from the router host , turning off dhcp and setting that last number manually and saving it

    Thanks echelon....I did what you said about holding the front button down and got the IP of the box.... I pasted it in a browser and got a page saying something about ..' If you are seeing this page you haven't any Linux based operating system on the box'....I had the Dreambox Control Centre open and at this point the connection between the Pc..Router and Box..ie.(the green line) turns red and the connection is lost so i unplug the DB and plug it in again it then shows a Network...I then once again paste the IP of the box in the browser and it is at this point that i get the page i posted earlier....When I have done the first part to get the IP of the Box should i wait a little longer for something else to happen?

    i think its only possible to flash dm800Hd over network ive tried many times using null modem without success..
    i open DreamUP And select Use Network and Flash TAB wait for Flash loader message to end then input IP of dream800HD into search bar at top on your web browser much faster this way too. ive successfully loaded only Nabilo blackhole image with keymap classic nuetrino mode plugin for remote and CCcam2.09 Newcs 160b working 100% ok and card reader reading my cyfra card 100% ok aswell,
    good luck guys its a lovely box and a pleasure to work with only advice i would strongly suggest is to Forget gemini team and thier very "Dodgy" images and try a real great team NABILO Team image as they make always superb images... once again hats off to Nabilo Team on an excellent image thank you,
    regrds,

    you dont need dcc open at all . or connected

    just follow the instructions as listed , but its the little tiny button near the oled that you press whilst powering on , not the power button mentioned in the copy and paste , and then when it says boot , wait for the ip address , and note it down , then use that ip address in the web browser

    once you have the web browser up , you will see some sort of loading screen in that browser , and use that to locate the file

    rebooting the box means you have bypassed the loading screen as its booting up if you havent pressed the little button on powering up , which is why you are eventually seeing the web interface for the box , probably on a different ip ( but could be the same ip )

    so just follow the instructions exactly as listed but its the little front button you hold , not the power button
