Dreambox DM800 setup help please

do all the basics like av settings and set a fixed ip address up by doing it manually , turning off dhcp

then try logging in using flashfxp , dreamboxedit v3 ( or later ) using enigma 2 , and also dcc

then download the latest cajton E2 settings from here and load them into the box using dbedit

then start connecting to the server and load cccam , newcs etc

that way you should be able to set the settings and actually get some pictures on screen , like bbcHD , itvHD , bbc1 etc

once its getting satellites and free channels you can move on

using somebody elses login is against forum rules and etiquette

please sign up for free and use your own username from now on , thank you

sorry for that mate. i didn't mean to break any rules. but i do have a lot of trouble logging in.

can i first express my thanks and gratitude to all you guys who tried your best to help me solve the problem with my dreambox 800 hd pvr.. i would like to give special thanks to echelon sonic and spider...
i tried everything that was suggested to, but nothing seemed to work, i even thought that the dm was a clone. i finally contacted multimedia, and the end result is that the dreambox was sent back to a dreambox rep in the u k. and it was tested and although i bought new, it was in fact a faulty dreambox. the good thing that has come out of it. is that i now know what i'm doing.(hopefully). once again many many thanks for putting up with me,and for all the sound advice. kind regards.
alan the happy strandman..

Thanks for the update and glad you finally have it sorted. :respect-055:
