    Default Dreambox Newbie Question

    Hi all - good to see the site back

    I've been reading about the Dreamboxes for a while and bought one last week from Fernbay - great service, highly recommended.

    I want to know if I can get it running without a sub card - using software on the box. Just the FTA stuff - i know there's only a couple of bad channels to see (i've seen lyngsat) - but it's a start in learning more about the Dreambox.

    I've got a f0xtel dish on the roof... I've read hours of forum material.. but i'm starting to get confused and don't want to screw the box up.
    Most of the tutorials i've read mention sub cards - which I don't have.

    I've got a network cable and null modem cable at the ready.
    Any direction appreciated.

    Before you begin download a copy of Dream up and backup your box to begin with. You then have something to go back to if all turns to poop.
    Go here for a get started guide.
    rdi-dreambox.com and dreamboxworld.com for downloads. Probably enough to got you started.
