I am running this on my Relook 400S perfectly, but i have a problem.

I loaded a DVD iso file and it runs great but i can't proceed from the DVD menu as i need to click on the screen to Play the movie.

I found the pause button on the remote working, but the play or forward doesn't work?!?

Does it work on your Dreambox remotes?
