ive just got a dm500-s and it is pre loaded with an enigma image which i do get 15 fta channels on it, useing the Astra 19.3E settings

ive just had a quick look and seen the "Dark star II" or even the "Pli Jade" image for it

whats the main differeces between these images, and i take it i just use a null modem cable and dreamup to erase then flash the image across

once flashed will i still get the same 15 channels?

thanks

it was just the first Astra setting on the box, without plugging it back in im sure there were 3 Astra's
the other two showed a lock and sync but no channel,

im using a fixed small sly dish, snr is at 92% and the AGC is 96%

Is it one sky put up as that will be pointing at 28.2E.

yes fergal it is a sky dish, i'll have another look and see if ive got a 28.2E setting,

got an old lnb on it at the moment and just wanted to test it before i change it for a new quad lnb so i know ive set it right and havent moved the dish

once done im going to flash it with either jade or DSII

Its not one of those old big ones is it from the anologue days as that will be pointing at 19.2E as thats what sky use to use all those years ago.

na its a mini sky dish 43cm To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. i think i know the problem now then, this dish worked fine four years ago until some work was done and scaffold was put up, they removed it put it on the scaffold but once they put it back on the wall it never did work,

at that same time they decided to change over to VM, (best friends home)

so there's a chance they pointed it to 19.3E instead of 28.2E

good possibility

ps. so im guessing the way forward is to set the box to Astra 28.2E, go to the signal page and move the dish till i get a good snr and agc

The channels you are getting on it now have you checked they are on the 19.2E sat
what a few of them called
yes you could do that if you need a freq,symbol rate,pol and fec let us know.

ok set the box to 28.2E and the dish was well out, set that now and got 76% SNR and 96% AGC

i now have tons of German channels, not that the kids can watch them lol

gonna flash it with DarkStar II for a test and then Pli Jade to see the difference

It cant be on 28.2E if you are getting loads of german channels m8 you must still be on 19.2E

I set the sat pos to 28.2E and got nothing so moved the dish and got a signal

scanned with the original "Enigma" image and got German and French channels including canal sport (all on free to air) tons of porn, so thought it was a German image, just trying to flash it with DarkStar II (the box did respond once so i tried a "backup" but it failed after 13minutes or so, now it just wont respond to dreamup

ps i did notice most if not all showed 28.4E as a heading?

latest update:
used dreamup 1.3.3.5 and it has backed up the image on the second try but failed 4 times to flash it with DSII, so deicded to try an older version of DU 1.3.2.1 and its seems to be working fine about 50% done atm, strange but true :D
