    So newbie unfriendly.....
    If you took a few minutes to read the PLi Wiki you would see why things are the way they are, howto set up the images and so much more. One of the few 3rd party image sites to run its own Wiki.

    In this case you do a download or set it to automatically do it to ensure you have the very latest of files as shown in the wiki here;

    Well this guide gave me the confidence to re image my dreambox, i haven't touched it in 2 years.

    It worked a treat, took me half an hour, which included finding the gemini image. Thanks Heaps.

    Is there a way to make the box reset to Cccam rather than common interface when you pull the power?

    I take it you have seen this

    Just make sure you installed something older and not the latest version of Gemini.

    For cccam to load on boot set everything up as you like it eg: cccam as softcam in bluepanel, volume level etc..

    Now shutdown or reboot the dreambox from its menu.

    Don't just yank the cord out of the wall or flick the switch on the wall... nothing is saved when you do it this way.

    If I took a few minutes? To read excuses on why the menus are crap?

    If I took a few minutes to read a Wiki about everything in life i wouldn't have a life....so no thanks.


    Like I said,

    the PLi layout is pathetic on what is otherwise a bullet proof image.
