Hi, Just got two new DM800 SE1 boxes with A8P SIM. I'm trying to flash via web browser using latest original openpli image. I can connect to the box, select "browse", select NFI file, and select "flash"... but then it just hangs It doesn't get as far as showing the percentage progress bar...

Hi, Currently have Vu+Solo2 on HD tv in the UK. Thinking of getting a 4k tv but would appreciate any advice. In particular: 1. If I download 4k films TPB, what's the easiest/cheapest way to play these on the tv? Can my Vu+Solo box play them? or would I need a new Amazon firestick? 2...

Hi, Is there a plugin that I can use on DM800SE and VuSolo2 where I can share my channel list online, and then my friends/family can use a plugin to just "download" and update their channel lists to match mine? Currently have one shared via dropbox and then updated using dreamedit but it's a...

Just noticed BT Ultra HD is now out. Can Dreamboxes or VU+ receive this channel? I can't find the frequency online anywhere, and a blind scan doesn't reveal anything apart from an "Astra Ultra HD Test Channe". The official stance from BT seems to be that you have to use their own STB. I...

Can anyone diagnose this? There's a problem with our dish or LNB on our shared dish in Spain. It's an apartment block with a shared dish for 4 different apartments. Block 1 - Our block... Vu+ = 250 channels (all 4 apartments) Sky box = 500 channels Block 2 - ... Vu+ = 500 channels Sky box =...

Channel List for Astra - for Spanish footprints... Hi, Our Vu+Solo2 box in Spain won't bring channels up on a scan for some reason. Does anyone know where I can download a channel list that has Astra 28E for Southern Spain? There must be loads of costa del sol people using this channel list...

Just wanted to check if it's safe to run EPG Import XMLTV plugin on a VU+Solo2 without a hard drive. It doesn't let you specify the path to download channel data but I assume it will go to RAM. I recall that EPG data on RAM can cause problems, but possibly that was just on the DM800's because...

Here's what I want to know... 1. Is there any way of using Sly Remotes with the DM800SE or Vu+Solo boxes? 2. If I replace an SD slybox with a dreambox/Vu+, how do I replicate the 'magic eye' feature (so you can use a remote in each room to change the channel)? 3. Is it just as easy to setup a...

Whatever happened to this plugin? I have it installed on openpli, it comes pre-installed and yet it doesn't appear in plugins menu. It hasn't been there for a long time. The graphmultiepg is showing as installed on plugins menu and I can see it in the extensions folder If I press INFO then...

Hi, Just upgraded to a triple tuner, so it has cable (C), Terrestial (T) and Satellite (S) connections. This is for a Spanish holiday home, so I can't test it properly here and want to make sure it is working before it goes on the suitcase. In the 'tuner configuration' menu it shows Tuner A...

Does anyone use their DM800SE with a 5.1 system? I've just got my first 5.1 system and trying to figure out if playing tv/films/music through the dreambox has any limitations. I've set both AC3 and AAC downmix to off - is that right? My AVR only registers the "audio signal" as PCM 2 channel...

Having trouble using a Vu+ Solo2 box in Spain Vu+ box was working fine in England before taking it to Spain. In Spain we are on a single satellite setup, not motorised, but settings have been changed. A lot of channels were not working, so did a rescan but still missing 100 or so channels on...

I gather that the openpli images are getting bigger but it's now coming to the point that I can barely install any plugins. Are there any programs that I can install (that you think I can live without) that come with openpli that can free up a few MB? (DM800SE)

Hi, I was thinking of getting some v.2 boxes, apparently twice the RAM and flash memory. The one I have sourced apparently has the "xinlei v2.2" sim card. Will this take original images like the A8P, or will it only accept cracked/clone images?

DM800SE A8P. Tried to install software update but it crashed in the process. Now when I turn it on I get: NO CA OR IMAGE 2nd Failed BIOS NO CA FOUND I've plugged the Dreambox to my laptop via min-usb, connected Ethernet to Dreambox and started DreamUp 1.3.3.11 I click "connect" on DreamUp...
