Dream Box Tools/Utils

[LesAshmore]

I keep reading posts which refer to tools and Utils for Dreambox 7020 But I cannot find them anywhere, I click on what I assume to be it then I get a post that describes what it does etc But I cannot actually find the link to download it, I hope somebody can help me as I have just purchased a 7020 and am desperately wanting to learn about it.

There are several tools that you can download from Dreambox-World and when you have increased your post count, from us.

However, all you need are FlashFXP or a similar FTP programme, FlashWizard Pro 6.3 and Windoze dos terminal. There is a later beta FlashWizard but let others test beta progs until you are conversant with them.

I assume you have a good solid image in flash memory on the 7020 and I strongly recommend that you get youself a usb memory stick (512 MB) is ok, and experiment putting one or more images on the usb stick using Flashwizard and multiboot so that you dont muck up the base image whilst you play.

Using FlashFXP you can examine the file structures and get to know how the Dreambox works. You dont need any programming knowledge, you just have to be nosey like me.
