I love the new Dreambox 500C

I said the image refers to software, which includes use of television, recording, and other operating systems and applications.

In its devices (such as the independent Div x players, other set-top boxes, DVD burners, etc.), we usually call it firmware. But image appears in the Dream box, the widely-used. An image includes control of the Linux operating system and hardware recording broadcast television applications.

You can download the latest Dreambox 500c manufacturer website of the official image. Writing this article is the latest version of v1.07.4. If your Dream box version below it, you should definitely upgrade it, because multiple launch plug - 1.3 b request of not less than this version. To write image, you can use dream Up (manufacturers) and with serial line (security but slow), LAN (not recommended) or use root crèmes law. The last method is the method I recommend, through FTP upload to Dream box image will be the / tamp directory, rename it for root crèmes, Dream box went into the setup menu, select Software Update, the re-elect manual update.

Please make sure that you are using the image is correct; otherwise you will become Dreambox 500c may have to return to the system as to the repair of electronic garbage. If you want to remove the flash, leave an image of all personal settings (using multiple USB commencement not to do so), in guiding logo appeared on the screen at the same time near the Dream box, and the next button. LCD there will be some "Flash erase" information, and then Dream box will reopen. If Dream box crashed in the process, it can also press the restart button of the three devices, or unplug the power cord. Now you have basically ready recorded. If you set up multiple start on the environment (allows you to switch in a number of image Lane), and watched the installation of a customized image examples interested can click on the link in the text above.

The difference between DM500s and machine -430

DM500s is LINUX operating system, but it also can be called a satellite receiver built-in computer. It supports a variety of encryption systems and multi-server network sharing.

The biggest difference between DM500s and machine-430 is: DM500s not only eliminate complex procedure among the frequent switching of the encryption system, but need not add additional external shared terminal box like A2. It supports a variety of mainstream encryption system, such as Seca, Viaccess, Irdeto, Viasat-NDS, Conax, Nagra1, Nagra2, and so on. At the same time, DM500s also supports a variety of genuine authorized card of encryption systems. 

Machine-430 is larger than Dm500s.Three cards sitting is the symbol of 430. Dm500s is small, stylish, fashion. It is truly a "import”. Meanwhile, the setting of 430machine is graphically displayed, and visualization. However, if there is 22k setting, it will be cumbersome on selection of high-frequency oscillator. And for Dm500s,if there are not necessary tips or tutorials, you should also spend some time on operating. 

DM500s can use genuine descrambling smart cards, and decrypt the signals from satellite by network sharing. It can support local satellite receiver as same as machine -430. Because of its output capabilities, it can provide better quality picture than 430. Other effects about DM500S include make an appointment with the recording through the network connecting computer. You can enjoy synchronize playback by network cable. Because it uses open LINUX operating system, it is convenient for third-party to develop new applications software on DM500s. With the development of a variety of IMG and plug-ins, the practical functions of DM500S will be more powerful. 

Basic information of latest upgrade DM500 plug

Have you used the DM500 software? Do you want to know what the new features of DM500 are? We can simply say that DM500 is a satellite receiver and contain a Linux computer operating system, which is a combo product. As an ordinary user, when you see a bunch of parameters on the DM500, you may still not clear what it is on earth, and then we will know it slowly in the process of using it.

If you have used the DM500 software, maybe you will want to know the latest DM500. Now let me tell you good news, domestic software DM500 have Benn upgraded. DM500 now have a new upgrade plug-in (including CCcam2.0.8), it interface language is Simplified Chinese. Its operating environment is Linux, the software size is 360 KB, and everybody can share this software. Using this software, you need to prepare your account information, and then extract the files, then send the TMP files of CCcam2.08-stupid3.tar.gz DM500 to the directory manually after installation.

We recommend that you can use Flash get software download site, and use Wirer v3.10 or later unzip software. If the software can not downloads, please click on the report error. Download site of resources, if the server is temporarily unable to download, please try again some time!

If you encounter other problems, please consult the website forum up, we will be there to provide more and better resources!
