Hi,
I have a Dreambox DM-500c which I am trying to get to work. I have flashed the DK v1.1 image on the box but I am only getting free to air channels. I know that I have to put some magic files into the box to get it to work but that is where I am stuck. I don’t know how to do that. I have looked around on the forum but the guides I found were beyond me as I am a total and utter newbie and it’s my first time doing this. I am looking for a guide that will be simple and would start from the very basics.
Can someone kindly link me to a guide on the forum or explain how to copy the magic files in very simple steps. Please also tell me where to copy the magic files.
The magic files I have downloaded have 2 folders as below:
var\bin\emu\evocamd
var\keys
In the keys folder there are lots of files which include .bin (NagraRoms & NagraRams) and .key files. Are these the right magic files for the DM-500c?
Any help from anyone will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Please don't post duplicate threads, it won't get you your answer any faster.

How is it a duplicate? Who else has posted this thread on these forums. If it is posted before I couldn't find it so posted myself.

It's not a duplicate, well not on techwatch...
I have posted the same question elsewhere (Different Forum). What that does is that makes a wider range of experts, who know what they are talking about, read the question and post replies. Which is better for us newbies...

I don't think it is wrong to do that and I am sorry you think so...

You posted two differant threads, exactly the same on TechWatch. The other thread has now been removed.

Thank You Plasterer - Paul for your reply and providing the link, much apreciated...

And Rick1980, I don't remember posting the same thread twice... If I did it was accidental not intentional and I am happy that it's been removed...

Hi,

Asify, is it possible you can send me the files the dkv1.1 image files and the magic files.
Also is it possible to view all channels free on the dreambox.
