Dm8000

[nibber]

Hi,
Just acquired a mint DM8000 for a bargain price,yes i know they are ancient and old hat and they were megabucks new.
It has a very old image on it (see attached photo).
Been a long long time since i played with a Dreambox and nearly forgotten everything i used to know
Assuming i can flash with DreamUp from com port and null modem lead or use hold lower button down method to get ip from box etc and do it from web browser,using web method does the ethernet cable need to be a crossover type or a normal lead?
Anyone recommend a newer up to date image for this receiver?
Also can i fit a terrestrial tv tuner to it in one of the spare tuner bays?

Cheers
