No not with a TARBS box you will.

heheeh I thought so...didnt understand much there...to be honest I dont understand a point of a dream box if u can hardly get any good fta channels on it..For eg I d buy it IF I could I dunno hook it up to tarbs box set to record certain shows without my mum interputing it in the morning when I am asleep..like her watching sum other chs...But you see all of the channels are going via TARBS box that I want to watch or record on dvd..and to be honest I cant think of any good chs that are FTA on k band<br />so for me its a bit of a waste of money....UNLESS there is something good about it I dunt know about <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
Yes and thats it!! there are lots of things that are not talked about, PPL that have been using these boxes know what i'm talking about, See Foxtel Lawyers have a habit of searching forums to see what is being said about card sharing, you must remember when Foxtel changed to Irdeto 2 and NDS they partied on because it was the end of piracy but within 4 weeks the first method of card sharing was tried and tested (season Interface) locally and within weeks it was tried over the Net. Now that was the GW Method and it was not long after that when the Dreambox started to have images used in Australia for card sharing.
The things not to forget to Flash a Dreambox ( Replace Firmware)<br />Now These points a VERY INPORTANT!!.<br /><br />1/ Before you do anything to your Dreambox in your Computer room You must connect a earth to the box, When buying from austech they supply the earth strap. Now this earth strap must be fitted before flashing otherwise you can stuff the box or corrupt the firmware or stuff the BOOTLOADER. So what I do is when the box is ready connected to my computer via RS 232 waiting to be flashed I have a SPECIAL lead with a 3 pin plug, now this 3 pin plug plugs into a power point and only has one wire coming out of it and its connected to the EARTH and on the other end of the SINGLE wire is a Battery Clamp which clamps on the IF input connector so by doing this the box is EARTHED CORRECTLY BEFORE STARTING.<br />2/ NEVER, I SAY AGAIN NEVER FLASH using Dreamuplan<br />yes its fast but you will fuck the bootloader.<br />USE ONLY!!!! Dreamup 2.14B to flash your box via serial port, its slow ( 12 minutes ) but safe.<br />3/ ALWAYS!!!! Flash erase before and after flashing a IMAGE, You Must do it!!, Again BEFORE AND AFTER if the don't the image will be corrupted<br />4/ HOW TO FLASH ERASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before doing the second Flash erasing afer the image has been uploaded to the Dreambox and the image is finished, turn the 240V off and disconnect the RS 232 Computer cable, CONNECT a SCART Euro plug to the back of the Dreambox to a TV so when you turn the 240V back on you can get a<br />Setup guide on the TV.<br />NOW!!!!! You turn the 240V on,,, You look at the tv screen as soon as the VERY,VERY,VERY, first Picture comes up it could be anything depending what Image you are using you PRESS the Channel up button on and HOLD IT, YES HOLD IT IN UNTIL ON THE FRONT LCD SAYS "ERASE" once you see ERASE<br />let go of the botton and it will do a ERASE, the Erase will take anything from 30 Seconds to 2 to 3 minutes depending what Image you are using and you will still see the ERASE on the LCD until its finished where it boots up to the first menu ( Laungage selection) What I do after this is turn off the 240V off Disconnect the Scart, Disconnect the EARTH and now take the FLASHED box to my tv room connect all the cables, the I.f Imput gives the Dreambox back its earth, Connect of course the Network cable which is in my case is 45m away from the computer and FTP all the goodies accross.<br />Now Talk about goodies, No I won't its the end use job to do that, and If you buy the Boxes from Austech you will get support to a certain level, the rest is uo to you, Now the is the same on ALL the Forums as BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING AND READING.<br />Talk about reading Its taken me about 14 Months of reading and I still don't fully understand 100% what to do with these boxes, They are very HARD, Very Complicated, but VERY REWARDING When you can get them going, People ask what they can do, I say What they Can't do and there is not a BOX on this earth that can do what these little devils can do.<br />5/ I use a 300 Meg Hardrive in it, search the web for best Drive to use as some use to much CURRENTand the Older model (7000) Don't like it Yes the Maxtor uses the least amount of currect and won't overload the power supply.<br />I think the New models of Dreamboxes have fixed this problem. I'm not typing anymore to long to type!!!<br />HAVE FUN and do plenty of reading from forums related to these boxes<br /><br />New Hydra7000 Phoenix 1.09 Final Image by The_Hydra<br /><br />Fixes / New Features:<br />------------------------------------------------<br />- Playback fix (crash at the end of recordings)<br />- Web Interface 2.8<br />- USB boot fix<br /><br /><br />Features:<br />- 1.09 kernel (2.6.9)<br />- 1.09 enigma (2005.02.17)<br />- Front Processor version 1.05 (with keyboard mouse fixpack)<br />- Rdgdedit v1.7<br />(Radegast Edit Plugin by The_Hydra.

got myself a dm5620 today....again(had one a year ago). Now that recording via cifs works properly(reason I sold my first one) this is also a great little box.<br /><br />Something for people to consider.(I've been told not to bother with the 500s though)<br /><br />Ash
Nothing wrong with the 500 , got one in my bedroom , works fine.
Yes a great little box, does most of the tricks that the big brothers do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />
how's the picture quality on the 500? heard nearly all are terrible.....compared with the other models.<br /><br />Ash
Cant see any difference in picture quality compared to my 7000 or 5620.
ok...no problem, I heard from a couple of guys who have them saying they were not real good. Might be just their box.<br /><br />Ash
nah doubt it....one I saw myself....it was really shit quality on new tv. More likely their dreams....quality not the best. Anyways if yours is good...then great stuff, we're all happy.<br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Ash
Can some one tell me what capability this dreambox has? Does it have the capability bad guys like me want?
Box Capability isn`t important the important think is your capability with that box...

p-debono<br /><br />hi <br />please help me ihave 2 reciver fortec 6000 and starsat3500cuci and 3meter dish inmy backyard and 2x90cm dish on my roof but they are not do what i want i gone buy a dreame box please tell me 7000 or 7020 thanks
7020 is the newer Model but please understand these boxes are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to setup,use and to understand. Read forums that support Dreamboxs, Click search on those forums to ask your questions you need to know.
thanks p debono<br /><br />i read a lot about them does 7020 have the same ability and soft ware support like 7000
No 7000 has the most and best support for the moment.
7020 runs 7000 images with a program called miniroot....it's definately the better box it's the latest model and more stable(almost impossible to kill), have a better flash...still there are the 5620's which are a cut down version for those who dont use usb or want to install a hard drive(they are still a pvr...just use a networked drive instead) I think they're a great box (and cheaper too). But definately the 7020 over the 7000!!<br /><br />Ash<br /> <br /> <small>[ 01. August 2005, 03:34 PM: Message edited by: me_ashman ]</small>
Hey paphos and lazer dont forget my share on that JW black hehehehe
STIN YGEIA MAS, antonis. Looks like it's the three of us for the black label jw.
Now I have another use for the dreambox, i'm watching tv from the dream, I pick up the Dreambox Keyboard and click the yellow button, click the browser link, and bingo I'm surfing the net. At the moment all I want it for is to look at Aus-city whilst i'm in the lounge room. When i'm finished click EXIT and I'm back to pictures..the audio remains whilst surfing the net.<br />But the only complaint is the resolution is poor, but have been explained that it can be changed to suit a big tv and its complicated to do via telnet.<br />On another note I can access aus-city main page in around 5 seconds using 1500/256 connection.<br />Now thats a smart box!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />
Where is the best place to buy a second hand dreambox 7000 from and whats do you think is a fair price for one.
1)hdd?<br />2)how long used (how many times Image uploaded)?<br />depends what you looking for.<br />dm7020 new in box 390euro=631au from germany postage and handling 70/90 euro.<br />with HDD 905 au +90euro posting

Take a newly purchased dream7020 out of the box, flash image other than official lets say Hydra, PLI, ruDream. Your dream has no warranty from Dream Australia. so why not import if your getting the same item cheaper ?
Its the chance we all take. as long as you don't flash with dreamuplan
On the 13th at IBC in Amsterdam the new Dream 7025 is being launched. Maybe I 'll get someone to pick one up for me
Mate I'm happy with my 7000's Great box even better with DiVinci 5 in it. What else does a man want, watch his favourite TV and post on aus-city all because of the dreambox and keyboard
I would presume the 7025 use the same Images as the 7020 models. but I have read on other forums that a 7000 image can still be used with little tricks involved.
