Got my DB800 !

[Keano]

OK got my DB800 this afternoon and after playing with it for last 30mins its so far so good.

I have flashed it with gemini 3.50 and installed CCcam.

Now CCcam_2.0.9 would not read sly card in sci.

Have to connect to linux pc and everything is OK, picture quality on HD channels are no different than my sly HD box, its superb:respect-067:

I have to go out now for the night so wont be able to do anymore until tomorrow.
Then I will try to scan in more sats.

What I was not expecting was the audio to work via the dvi, but it does comes with a dvi to hdmi lead and audio works perfect through this lead.

The box it self is tiny, but has a nice little white display on the front giving you current time etc and the card slot is hidden behind a little black flap.

So far I'm very happy with it, be even happier if someone sorts ITV HD out too.

Nearly forgot no problem with scanning channels in, found all channels on 28.2e/28.4e.

[Eugenie]

Don´t forget to download the latest updates (main menu -> plugins -> software update), there are usually some new and improved drivers etc available.
AC3 is also available through DVI so make sure 'AC3 downmix' is set to yes and 'AC3 default' is set to no (these should be set that way by default though), otherwise you will not get audio via DVI on channels only carrying AC3 audio (main menu -> setup -> system -> A/V settings).

Hope you enjoy the little critter!

Sounds good Keano, look forward to hearing more about it. Was hoping to get one before the Euros but don't think its gonna happen.

[dubious]

AC3 is also available through DVI so make sure 'AC3 downmix' is set to yes and 'AC3 default' is set to no (these should be set that way by default though), otherwise you will not get audio via DVI on channels only carrying AC3 audio (main menu -> setup -> system -> A/V settings).


I suppose it depends what you have the HDMI connected to.

Mines connected to the TV HDMI

IMHO AC3 default should be YES and downmix set to YES.

This way it will always select the AC3 track if there is one and downmix it to stereo for the TV to accept.

In the next updates/images you will be able to select downmix yes/no from the audio button, so, if you have the 800 connected to your amp with optical and you fancy listening to a film in 5.1 all you have to do is switch on your amp, press the audio button on the 800 and change downmix from YES to NO. No need to delve into the menus.

[vinny0048]

@ Keano, might be a silly question but does the DVI out and scart work at the same time?

Reason I ask, when I get one I'll have it connected to the telly downstairs but I have a video sender for the bedroom.

[Eugenie]

@dubious

You´re right, but on for ex a premiere direkt channel I don´t want it to default to AC3 since it only carries the german dub. It´s all down to personal preference i suppose and what channels are frequented.

[Keano]

Thanks for the audio tips Eugenie, there is a lot of settings I need to look at yet and for the lastest driver/software info.

At the mo I have my 8-1 switch wired to it and it found everything on 28.0e but not the other sats, its OK when I manual scan.

Something else just found out after a little scare I have to select DVB-S2 in tuner scan otherwise it misses HD channels out.

Got to say I love engima2 as a image tons better and so far very stable and very easy to use.

I am already thinking of what to sell to raise more funds for another one, well done dream its well worth the wait:applause-003:
Saying that I've not tried the HDD yet but I'm sure it will be OK.

@Vinny m8 I will try for you tomorrow if I can I have a scart video sender unit somewhere

[canthackit]

i notice there's a 12 volt power supply, do i need a transformer?
that is of course when i manage to get my hands on one.

regards: canthackit

[Keano]

m8 it comes with power pack, 240v in to power pack and 12v out in to db.

One problem is I can't get in to interface, with normal db you put the ip of db in browser and log in to db but with HD version nothing happens.

[dubious]

@dubious

You´re right, but on for ex a premiere direkt channel I don´t want it to default to AC3 since it only carries the german dub. It´s all down to personal preference i suppose and what channels are frequented.

But that will still default to tonoption1 which is still German, so you will still have to select tonoption2 manually for English. :confused:

[Eugenie]

:) I knew you´d get me with that one dubious, either way I loose! :D
My previous stb allowed me to sellect audio track language preference, must have had that in the back of my mind.

[sonic1]

CCcam only working with Newcs 1.60 to read your card m8
You are already a member on the board where the info is m8 ;)

[Keano]

Yep your right I'm trying to do everything at once.

Got my first problem now, for some eason it can't/wont scan in HD cyfra channels which is a bit of a bummer when I have a official card here for it.

Whoops found it now under new channels.

[dubious]

@keano

Also try Filmbox HD, it's opening here with my Cyfra mosc :)

[bonovox]

Don't suppose I can ask where u got it from, your dm800. Is gbox confirmed working on it?

[Dreamlife]

Filmbox and Filmbox Extra SD are not in English just Polish, so is Filmbox HD the same?

[dubious]

Don't suppose I can ask where u got it from, your dm800. Is gbox confirmed working on it?

Got mine from Germany a couple of weeks ago

Unfortunately Filmbox HD is the same :(

[stevied]

:applause-038: God im so jealous !!

lools like i may have to wait till xmas for the new dream :angelsad2:

Getting my dish relocated to the back of my property next week and thats going to cost about 200 big ones, so cant justify a new box just yet ,unless i spend less time on the net at night ,and more time with the wife :respect-055:

[saviola]

I've read a couple of mixed reviews on the HD picture quality. What do those who have a DM800 have to say about it?

Also how is the standard PQ?

[bonovox]

Got mine from Germany a couple of weeks ago

(

Through bay of e? I see there is a couple on there for sale.

[saviola]

bonovox i think one of the guys is dodgy considering his feedback not sure he has them in

[bonovox]

Yeah I've seen that sellers feedback. I wouldn't buy off there anyway. I suppose the Dreambox 800 will become more available over the next couple of months.

[Gone_Fishing]

Anyone have some screen capture hardware show it in action post it on youtube ?

If not why :smilielol5:


TNT

[Keano]

I've read a couple of mixed reviews on the HD picture quality. What do those who have a DM800 have to say about it?

Also how is the standard PQ?

m8 I have looked at BBC HD,Cyfra Film HD,Sky Cinema HD (13.0e) and Sky Sport 1HD/2HD ( 13.0e ) and all are superb and you can certainly tell its HD.

Channels which are SD are also good quality.

The only problem I have at the mo is scanning 19.0e, because I am using a switch it keeps scanning 28.0e instead.
I have to manual scan at the mo.

Need to find how to log in to box now via browser.

[Jono]

Has any one tried the D800 with Digitalb HD and does it work With card or CS
what is the picture quality like is it as good a other HD channels

Cheers Jono

[pjas]

digitalalb hd looks as good as the rest of the hd channels working with card and cccam 2.09,dont know about c/s .

anybody got s*y uk working with 2.09 yet?

[Keano]

CCcam wont read your card yet, you have to use newcs with it.

For those who have a 800, has any of you got Prem HD because no matter what image i try and then scan in 11914H 27500 9/10 it will not find it.

Also having problems with 8-1 switch still, when scanning 19.0e I end with loads of channels from 28.0e.

[pjas]

working fine on mine Prem HD 11914H 27500 9/10
i am using pli but have read some images are having difficulty's scanning some frequinces

[Eugenie]

@Keano, just to let you know, I´m also using Gemini 3.50 and have no problems with the Premiere HD freq, the problem is on your end somewhere.
As for your 19.2/28.2 problem, sounds like a general problem with diseqc port configuration. Your 19.2 port is probably set to the 28.2 lnb and when the DB scans 19.2 it´ll find channels on 28.2 who have identical frequencies to 19.2.
Don´t worry though, you´ll have it sorted soon.

[Gone_Fishing]

Isn't it easier just to upload all the HD channels ?


TNT

[Keano]

m8 can you point me to a channel list for 28.0e,19.0e and 13.0e.


Still struggling with this, i took the 8-1 switch out and replaced with a a-b diseqc switch, set 28.0e to a and 19.0e to b but still when scanning 19.0e it finds load of 28.0e channels.

Another problem is on 19.0e is that i can't get UPC channels on 12034 and Can***** Film 1.1,1.2, and 1.3 channels, pictures break up like it has a very weak signal.
Signal is OK I have twin lnb's on dish and the other feed goes to my db500 downstairs and thats spot on.

[sonic1]

Can I ask if you are using the images in the flash or via USB or CF Keano.
The reason being is have heard that one of the early problems was with the tuners.

[Keano]

Image is in flash, I heard about the problems with the tuners now i thought it was a software problem.

[sonic1]

That is what I am lead to believe also m8 so if you have image in flash it should have all the latest drivers.

[kewell79]

CCcam wont read your card yet, you have to use newcs with it.

ccam does read cards without newcs, atleast 2.09 does

[Keano]

Well it does not read nds cards in the new db800.

[kewell79]

Well it does not read nds cards in the new db800.



it reads my viasat nds card on 5 east

[Gone_Fishing]

Are enigma 1 settings the same as enigma 2 but go to a different directory ?

Dreamset 2.15 will download settings straight off "king of sat" thats what I do to update mine then just
paste the ones I want into mine using dreamboxedit


TNT

[Keano]

Just tried dreambox edit but no joy with that.

Have some how just managed to get prem hd scan in but when i go to to view it its all broken up pictures, same as the FTA HD channel too on same transponder.

I am just in process of trying official firmware with updated drivers and see how that gets on.

Same problem, astra HD and ANIXE HD ( FTA ) same as Prem HD transponder scan in but break up big time.

[Eugenie]

@Keano, just in case you do not have the link, check below for official download list of image releases, both experimental and final ones, a new release basically every day;

_http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/1.5/dm800/images/

[Keano]

Whoops who a d*ck head ?

Thought to myself, even though db500 shows SD Prem channels at 81% I don't know about the HD one.

So swung my dish on the roof round to 19.0e and have this in to 8-1 switch instead of fixed dish and guess what 11914H coming in perfect now.

So its working now:king-042: just feel a bit of prat all the years been messing with sats and never thought for one minute it might be a bad signal on the HD transponder, only strange thing is the other HD channels on 19.0e are fine its just 11914H.

Oh well bed time for me:o11:

[dave.tv]

hehehe, glad you got it sorted m8, now roll on the uk roll-out.........:rofl:

[Eugenie]

11914 H uses the lowest error correction possible with DVB-S2 (9/10), thus requiring higher signal quality for error free reception. That might have been the cause of your breakups.

[saviola]

any news on ITV HD is it working yet?

[pjas]

still cant get sly card working in dm800 have tried cccam 2.09+newcs 1.60 nothing just no card inserted, yet works perfect with digitalalb card?

[murfey]

Has anybody managed to mount a usb to dm800? .. and do dcc or flash ****** pro are compatible with the dm800?

[Keano]

11914 H uses the lowest error correction possible with DVB-S2 (9/10), thus requiring higher signal quality for error free reception. That might have been the cause of your breakups.

Yes m8 this was the cause, now its a case of fine tuning fixed dish.

regarding other qusetions, ITV HD not working yet, sly card in sci think we need to wait for new drivers and finally not tried mounting a usb yet I don't know if it will work yet.
I don't think flashwizhard will work, did try dreambox edit yesterday and that does not work.

[dubious]

Newcs 1.60 works well with UK card using either MGcamd or CCcamd as the client, I use MGcamd myself.

Dreamboxedit or Opendreamboxedit work fine with the 800, just make sure you setup your 800 profile as 'version3(7025)' in the options.

I setup Barry Allen on a USB stick with no problem, BA has some great tools.

[makaveli]

dubious

sorry to sound so thick but what is barry allen?

[makaveli]

it's ok i got it - it's a boot manager like iboot on the tm9100

It allows you to install multiple images on a USB stick but not just that, you can also back up your flash image and various other settings backup.

[Keano]

OK m8 all done now.

DB800 is working fine now and channels coming in 100%.

Just tried the HD on 16.0e to which I have access to a couple of cards and its a no go.

When I said drivers are required for sci I meant for CCcam only, I don't use newcs/CCcam combinations because this defeats the object and puts your card at 1 hop away.

[crabber]

The HD channels on 16E may be the cards paired rather than the 800.
I have one card which opened HD1 to 4 but not supersport and another that now won't open any so I use a diablo.
Slightly off topic I have translated an item about the 8000 at a German trade show. It says available Christmas 2008 and 750 Euros

[pjas]

the card i have opens all the hd channels on 16e and supersport
all 57 channels:D

[Keano]

yes some of the older cards ( the first batch about 3 years ago ) if renewed then these gave you the HD channels in any receiver.

I don't know if they are still renewing them now, think they got wise to it within a couple of days.

[bonovox]

I think they have turned them off also now as its being reported in another thread.

[pjas]

yes all gone :9898:

[kaja008]

So HD channels are cannot be shared at all neither with old cards?

[psykix]

@Crabber...

Can I ask how you are using Diablo with DM800?

I'm thinking of getting an 800, but the thought of not being able to use my Diablo was putting me off...

I have a Kathrein not an 800 hope I haven't misled you.

[psykix]

No worries! I have a Hivion Ultima and an Ab IP 9000HD - have probs with the 9000HD so it's going back. Just wondering whether to get an 800, or sit it out with my Hivion until the 8000 is released. (If ever!)

[saviola]

I have been playing around with box and have come across a few problems first is with the tuner I cant pick up any channels on hotbird for some reason (added channel list) and some channels I tried on astra 19.2e that come through fine on my db500 arent coming through on the 800. How can I fix this?

The signal seems to show very low on the 800.

[Keano]

yeah I had some problems too, the signal reading on the db800 s not right and many channels that come through on the db500 might not come through on the db800 unless your dish is spot on.

Example last week I could not get scan in Film 1.1, 1.2 transponder and Galaxie Sport transponder yet on my db500 they were fine, I had to go and tweak my dish just to get the little bit more of it and then it was OK.
Also manual scan transponders, don't scan a full sat.

The firmware for the db800 is not 100% yet and there is still a few problems to iron out.

I have found gemini 3.50 to the best image at the moment.

Don't forget to update on line so you have all the latest drivers too.

Have fun !

[A]

@Keano did you try PLI ??

[applematt]

gemini seems to be the best -- ive tried PLI -- needs some big firmwae updades for sure.

[A]

so now whats the problem with this box the tuner ??

[Keano]

Yeah tried Pli, no difference.

Prefer Gemini layout.

The tuner is a ALPS, I thought these weregood. Saying that it must be good it brings in my weak signals on 7.0w.
Its strange unless some transponders are very strong it misses them.

Like I was saying about Film 1.1 and 1.2 on 19.0e, the db800 could not see these, so I sent downstairs to the conservatory where I have a db500 wired to the same LNB/Dish and came on no problem on that.
So went outside wired some coax to the lnb and got my trusty old technomate 5500 out and a small telly and had a look at the signal reading for that transponder ( there was others, Prem HD was one ) and it was on about 37% on technomate which is crap should be about 80%, any way put dish back in to line got signal right up to about 78% went back to db500 it was OK then went to db800 and now film 1.1, 1.2 and Prem HD were coming in no problem.
So the some reason certain transponders need a very good signal, this I can understand for HD but not SD.

I also get this stupid message about tune fail and no sid in pat, AFAIK dream are aware of this so lets hope its fixed.

[A]

this seems for a software issue than tuner

[Keano]

Yeah I reckon so, if it could not scan 7.0w then I would be very worried.
If you remember the old db7000 they were awful, could not get weak signals at all.

The box itself has the potential to be the biggest selling linux box ever but on the other hand unless you have access to HD channels then I would advise people to keep hold their cash for now and see if price comes down over the next few months.

Its a lot of money to spend just for BBC HD.

[tango110]

this seems for a software issue than tuner

The problem is that the tuner in the dm800 on the first release is weak and the problem is solved with the new shipment of dm800

i get the new one with new tuner :respect-050:

[Tarzan]

The tuner is a ALPS, I thought these weregood. Saying that it must be good it brings in my weak signals on 7.0w.

I found the tuner on the IPBox 9000 to be the best till now.. it kicks the Vantage 7100S's tuner in the butt...

how do you know if you have a reciever with the new tuner or old one?

[Keano]

Right with gemini press green button and at the bottom you should see at the bottom "Softwareupdate"

This is it, select it and let its do a update.

I check every other day and just now 1 more module has been downloaded and fixed.

I have been reading on another forum that many fixes have taken place since the 21st May.
So it is important to keep your box up to date.

Some guy could not get and DVB-S2 channels on 5.0e, now that he has updated he gets them.

If you go into options in dreamboxedit and setup the profile for the 800 you just have to press the button that says 'version 3 settings (7025)'

That will automatically set the correct paths for Enigma2, then just save the profile.

satellites.xml goes to /etc/tuxbox/

@TNT added the the chanel list -- didnt change anything really! ie BBCi not working -- in fact many channels not coming up.

[Gone_Fishing]

I don't have a DM800 so cant really help but if you used dreamboxedit did you hit the "Reload settings on dreambox" after you uploaded them

Its in the same place as "Send files to dreambox"

Are enigma 1 settings the same as enigma 2 but go to a different directory ?

Dreamset 2.15 will download settings straight off "king of sat" thats what I do to update mine then just
paste the ones I want into mine using dreamboxedit


TNT

How do you download the settings from King Of Sat? When I try, the satellite list is empty, and clicking the Download button does nothing.. I'm using Dreamset 2.16... Doesn't work for SatcoDX either :-(

Cheers..

[psykix]

Ignore me - working directory was incorrect so it couldn't see the xml files.

Sorted now!

[butterbox]

Got mine a few days ago.
Very quick to flash over browser.
Very quick to locate and scan in all the sat positions loaded in the motor.
Cannot get it to see any USB stick. (tried 7, all which worked on 7000S)
Channel zapping slow.
HD picture outstanding.
SD picture poor. Might lower resolution and increase manually whenever watching HD
Tuner no better (slightly worse) than first edition 7000S

[psykix]

I believe that OozooN image is the only one that supports USB sticks natively....

[Eugenie]

I have to disagree with you there butterbox, I think the tuner is noticably better then the 7000 one, I´d say the Alps tuner and Conexant frontend in the DM800 does a decent job actaully now that most driver issues are sorted out. It might not be downright perfect but surely it´s better then the mess in the 7000s?

[kmc]

where can i download the drivers from and is cccam working with certain cards yet as my card is not supported

what do you mean sd picture is poor?a lot of people have said upscaled sd picture is fantastic.can anyone confirm the quality of sd pictures on this receiver.was thinking of ordering one next week

I have a 50" plasma with DVI connection. Can't speak for anyone else, but on my TV both the 500s and 7000s have better picture quality on SD channels. BBC HD and Discovery HD are flawless, C4 HD very good, Premier HD good. ITV1 SD is very noticably poor. It is probably just an issue with upscaling on my TV.

If I move to a channel with borderline acceptable signal on my 7000s and then switch the cable to the 800, I get nothing of very bad pixelation. Can't tell what signal I'm getting because everything says 25%.

[tango110]

how do you know if you have a reciever with the new tuner or old one?


From where i have ordered the dm800 they sendt out an information to all the customers also i was talking with the store manager about the issue with the tuner

So there is still not one getting luck with itv hd with dm800?

[Eugenie]

@butterbox...I personally found it a rather pleasant surprise when I tuned in borderline signals and found that the threshold was fully acceptable compared to other receivers I´ve had, including the 7000s. Our units should be the same so maybe we just compare a bit different?

@tango110...I think it is a case for the DMM developers(?) There are new official releases everyday, both final and experimental. The changes and improvements made in these often take longer time to reach the team images, for ex, the latest software update packages for the Gemini 3.50 image is the official DMM release from the 27th, the latest offical output is from yesterday.

Just a note; whether or not this (ITV) is on the DMM developers table I do not know. Therefore I do not know if or when it will be sorted. Just thought I´d let you know that there are daily changes to the official DM800 software in case you didn´t know.
