    Re: DM600 conversion from Cable to Satellite

    Think I bloody spoke too soon... well... not the same problem, but a related one I suppose.

    Reinstalled the Pli image. On the 1st bootup, it asked me to setup the dish. I selected "Simple or Single DiSeq".
    Then the next choice was for "Normal USA/Canada something" or "non-normal USA/Canada something"... Choose the Normal one.
    Did a transponder scan and on finding a valid one, did a full scan. It found loads of services... but not all. I'm missing loads of channels!

    Did I choose something wrong?

    Fergals - Initially, I had the bouquets you sent me, but on navigating to most channels, the channel would be blank... no epg either. However, sometimes, it would clear after a few minutes. Eg. Sly Sports 2 is working perfectly. However, Sly Sports 1 & 3 go blank when I navigate to them. However, when I stay on Sly Sports 1 for a few minutes, it clears and I can see the channel.

    Any idea why? Or what did I do wrong? I think I've setup the image incorrectly... (BTW... I've got a simple Sly dish and the DM600s is connected directly to the Dish.)

    Re: DM600 conversion from Cable to Satellite

    Cheers fergals... have uploaded the latest channelsset and the problem still persists.

    The channels do clear... but it takes about 30-180 seconds on each channel to do so. This happens for about 30-50% of channels.

    My thoughts are - Have I setup the box correctly? I've chosen "Single Satellite Diseq" settings with 28.2e Astrabird (or whatever the Sly satellite is called!). There is another option which is slightly confusing to me... the choice between 'Normal US/Canada" and non usual USA/Canada setup! No clue what this is for...

    The image I've installed is the PLi Jade 3 : "pli-jade3-dm600pvr-20090627-6494".
    Best regards,

    Re: DM600 conversion from Cable to Satellite

    If your on a fixed dish then you have chosen the right setting
    sounds like its a cam problem or the sealion you have been given is not from the card holder and he is resharing his line to you, what version cam you running
    try a different image se if its the same.

    Don't have the boxes with me unfortunately... otherwise I'd have done it already. That's why I was trying to figure our if there's an alternative.

    after reading this again you should of set it up with no diseq cos you only got the dish pointin at one sat ie:28e if it was 28e and 19e you would use the simple diseq,as for the Normal USA/Canada something" or "non-normal USA/Canada something" use non-normal usa (unless thats where you are)

    Re: DM600 conversion from Cable to Satellite

    Would you believe it...? I got my cousin over with the box on Saturday telling him the issues I've had with his box... and wanted him to see it too... Started the box... lo and behold... everything was working perfectly fine!

    I had done NOTHING... just started up the box after a few days yesterday and everything worked perfectly! Like there were no problems before! Felt like an idiot claiming there were!

    Cheers guys... hope this is the last I see of that box!
    Best regards,

    Hah... I wish I had now! The first time I swapped the tuners and everything was ok... I swapped them back because the new one was my cousin's... on hindsight, if I'd have left it be, I'd not have wasted another bloody week!

    So, how's Molly? Give her our love... and the best to the good lady too... hope she's feeling better now. I go in for my op tomorrow... if you don't hear from me in a few days, do pen a few words on my obituary!

    Similar situation

    Hidden Content Originally Posted by pande_monium Hidden Content

    Crossing the bridge again, this time for my cousin. Bought him the DM Satellite tuner for his DM600c. Swapped the tuner and we now have a DM600s!

    Then, to reflash the box from fresh, I did the following:
    Code:
    Telnet'd into the DM600 and ran the following commands
    
    mount /boot -o remount,rw
    rm /boot/*
    reboot
    The above worked successfully and the box rebooted. I then navigated to the DM's IP address on my browser, and, it came up with the Update Firmware page as expected.
    I then clicked on the 'update firmware' link... Chose the firmware file... and Clicked on 'Flash'
    .
    ..
    ... Nothing happens... No flash progress meter... nothing at all. The box boots up flashing between green and red and then stays Red. Rebooted the box a couple of times, but the status doesn't change.

    I don't have a laptop/PC with a serial port anymore. But, I do have a crossover cable. And I also have a USB > Serial converter, but the bloody thing is a male... so is the serial port on the DM600 (who the F**K designs these things!?!)... so pretty much useless.

    Anyway... any ideas on how I can fix this? Any/all help much appreciated.
    Im in a similar situation.. Did telnet work for you?

    Yes.. I opened the zip file, dragged the Nfi file to desktop
    Put my ip into web browser
    Clicked upgrade firmware
    Located the Nfi and click flash - nothing happens..almost as if the flash button had no purpose
    I've done one with a dm800 and it works fine (no telnet in dm800)
    Any help?? I tried changing computer , tested other images , different browsers, downgraded browsers
    Also I can't access FTP programs like FileZilla flash wizard because it's constantly in flash mode
    I think the telnet command deleted the original image

    Try using dreamup with a nullmodem cable and ethernet cable
    How Do I Use Dreamup?

    If, for any reason, your box won't boot, you will have to use Dreamup to flash an image instead of Flash Wizard Pro or any other method. You won't be able to connect via ethernet so no ip address is required. It may be that the process simply hung up during flashing or you accidentally pulled the plug half way through (yes it did happen to me). This will get you back on track.

    Required

    Null Modem Cable (this is NOT the same as a serial or rs232 cable, although it looks the same)
    Image File (.img) or a (.nfi) file
    DreamUp Program

    Instructions

    Disconnect all cables from your dreambox, including the power
    Connect the null modem cable to the dreambox and to your PC
    Load Dreamup.exe
    Click Connect and you will see a message


    Connect the power and the bootloader should be copied to the box
    The message should now say 'Box attached and Ready'
    Click Flash on the right hand side and select the image to be flashed
    Hidden Content

    Click Yes or Ya (depending on the version)

    Note: If you're flashing a backup image, select NO.
    The image should then be uploaded to the box
    There will be a countdown timer at the bottom of the program
    Hidden Content

    After the image is uploaded, it will be flashed to memory
    Click OK and close down Dreamup
    Power off the dreambox for 30 seconds then power up
    If any errors appear, check all cables are connected properly and repeat the process but do not use the PC while it's running
    Video tut here
