You can also bounce the your Dreambox page to any DNS...




make sure your router looks like this.




the no ip url site above is FREE and they give you a lil tool called NO IP DUC and that basically updates your IP or any info if you have dial up or DSL or cable modem... It will update it for automatically also for it to be free you must log into the site each 30 days they will give you a email to remind you.. I mean its FREE...
Anyways you want you Router forward settings to look like this IF... That is IF you use the IP and port and disable DHCP like i did above.

So set up your port number and put TCP in port forwarding in your router...

and connect to your Dreambox from any place in the WORLD

have it record change channels set up events.. just about anything..


Once you get used to the dreambox and you get used to it very very fast you will come to respect it and like it very much.


Here is what a PLi Image looks like....







Now you have your LNBs all set up and make sure you hit SAVE or GREEN button to make sure its saved.

Now hit exit and back to Set up. Menu 6



Click blue panel

then Manual install ... Remember from way above when you installed the rqcam in temp?
Now you start it up.


Then you should see this but with updated version of Rqcam.

Once you Press OK you will see this


Make sure you press OK.

Now Im sure you remember how to get back to set up and Blue Panel.


Now you have to enable it so you don't see command interface when you start up.
So do this. Start and enable cam....




Then basically Start it.

Then its really cool b.c you can now go to your Dreambox IP

xttp://192.168.0.192/

Click to expand...

and you will see this to change the channel with the web interface.



Then after a few minutes you watch TV.

You can also do cool things like this.



Also once you have the rqcam on give it a few minutes on a N2 channel to build up the EMU....

Now you tell me what looks more easy?

What I put up....

3-connect receiver to tv. and enter the ips you got from the first step double check DCC AFTER YOU CHANGE IPS to make sure your communication settings are correct! very important or you wont go any further!! the first ip is the receivers IP, netmask is the same as you got from pc. name server(your pc ips) gateway the same ip as sever.. press green button and exit
4-open DCC AND MAKE SURE ALL LINES ARE GREEN n not you're settings are wrong so go back and play with it!!!

7-open DCC and press FTP
8-double click on TMP folder a window will open, on your right you need to look for the emu currently working(opencamd 1.3.0.tar.gz) if is zipped(compressed) you need to decompress it, you may get either a folder or a file ending on opencamd1.3.0.tar.gz (this is how you want it) if is a folder go in the folder and find it in the if it looks unzipped but it has the extension tar.gz that is fine!! Highlight it and press the arrow in the middle to transfer it to receiver
9- once is transferred right click it and select attributes/OK/755/OK/save and exit
10-then go to main window again and find the keys folder

Dreambox How To w/ Pic
Dreambox is probably one of my favortive units. Most people are scared of them or think they are to hard. However I can get a Dreambox up and working faster than any FTA unit.

Im going to show you step by step with pics.

U will need this list of programs that Im sure are not to hard to find with google or if you request them I can post them all here even the channel list

programs needed
flash wizard(fw2 file loader)
drembox control center DCC(emu and other files loader)
dreamup universal(image loading)
dream edit (channel editing)


First you need the Image I Like The Gemini Project or PLi with the How to I will be useing The Gemini Project.

First you install the Image I would use the latest Gemini Project 440 MAX You use a program called Dream up. It looks like this.





Once you click load your image you will turn your box on and see this.





Make sure you select NTSC and hit Save or the Green button on your remote.

Then you will see this screen







You can just hit NO DiSEqc at this point.



Now you can hit Menu then the 6 button and it will take you here or you can scroll over to Set up screen it looks like this.

I have found out if you have lots of PCs on your network Port 96 is good.



Remember to SAVE or hit Green button to save.

Now its time to put in your channel list and your fix.

This is so easy.

Make sure you have a program called DCC it looks like this and make sure you settings match this b.c this is what you just put in your dreambox
