Sky Interactive services on Dreambox - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hello all...

I have recently changed from a standard Sky supplied receiver to a Dreambox 7000 with an Enigma image. I'm pretty happy with it all and it does just about everything I need it to, bar one thing.

I cant get the interactive service that you'd normally get with the "red button". This means I cant watch the Football First show on SkySports.

Can anyone confirm if there is a way of manually setting this up on a Dreambox? Maybe by programming in the transponder details myself? If so, where would I find such information?

Cheers,
Gareth

Not at the moment but they are working on it.

Seems it *might* be possible, based on the info from this site:

Will give that a try!

Yes it is possible to get them but not by a single button press at this time.

The streams are available but you have to search for them. I did have a list of them but used them so little that they have disappeared into the mess on my computer.

When you search out the streams, you have to save them as bouquets and then select the one you want to watch.

What I was suggesting above is that one button selection is being worked on but not available yet.

Cheers. Have had a look for the stream details but cant find anything yet. Will have another look a little later.

It would certainly be a result if it was made to work like the Premiere/Green button sub-channel menu that's in the Gemini images. That's really neat.
