Its impossible to teach you everything about a dreambox on one page - Ive had my 7020 nearly 2 years and Im still finding new things I can do with it!

You will need to buy lan cables etc seperate.

[Analoguesat]

The only software you need if you are going to connect via lan is FlashWizard Pro - and Dreamboxedit. Both are free and can be found easily enough

If you have a network and a router connected to the internet, then connect your Dreambox to your router using a straight patch lan cable. If you dont have a router then I would recommend you get one if you have a broadband connection.

Alternatively you will need a crossover lan cable to connect your Dreambox to your PC.

You dont need to buy any software. All useful software is available free for download.

The reason for a direct internet connection for the Dreambox is not for sharing, it is for downloads from dedicated servers. This can be done by a few remote control button pushes rather than downloading to PC and then transferring.

thanks ..now i see a lot better

is a Emulator like a cam card for sat ? as in it has codes that lets u watch programs that my lockled with out it

[Analoguesat]

An emulator is effectively a softaware cam - its the decryption unit. They dont contain keys, but key files can be found in various locations, and some images have key updaters built in.

Dont expect to open everything - most pay tv providers are still secure and require access to a subscription card even on DB's

[Analoguesat]

BTW -Id strongly suggest you stay well away from the satan key updater - its past its prime andd is basically a pile of sh!te . If it cant connect to the server for any reason it has a nasty habit of trashing the image in use, and its no fun having to put everything back together.

Use the hacksat updater instead.

as said just ftp keys over to the dreambox or edit key file on pc and send to dream ,
