Introduction of Dreambox 500c

Dreambox 500c the first revised version, there are some hardware problems, they V1 second amended version to solve the (apart from the question of a power limit). V2 is a change, the revised version of the V1 on the 2nd (with an increase of two power capacitors). They have adopted blue backlit LCD display.

V3 new addition of a piece of Pub is the power to amend the problem. These may also include some small changes had not been documented. Its LCD is amber, and there is a shaped like a 3 the serial number.

I personally use the Dream box purchased in a German site (Dream box MK4), but I cannot find this version of the related documents. I guess, this is Taiwan V3 machine.

An integrated into Dream box drives: dispensable. I personally do not have a hard drive. Hard drives will have more noise and consumption of electricity. You may not be installed, such as hard drives and again after the acquisition of its own. But bearing in mind not every hard drive can be installed to enter. 

 A 128-megabit USB memory stick: If you do not drive, I strongly recommend that you use it, and if you want to use this guide, the Memory Stick is essential. I use the Dane-Elect, USB2.0, no major compatibility issues. USB only pay attention to curtaining circumstances in default write protection is open, manufacturers must first use special software provided in Windows unlock use only.

An unused modem serial line is also very useful. If you let into the network failure or cessation of operation, it allows you to connect Dream box.

This line can be purchased in stores, or you can do on its own system. Good can use the wire screen spacious, but not too long. Length should not be more than 2 m to 1 m better.

Equipped with the 100-M Ethernet PC card. Dream box and PC line can be directly linked to cross-Ethernet, or through the use of common network hub / switch connections.
