johnlk Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi all, I have been trying to set up my Dreambox 500s with a locally bought Truevisions dish and LNB for the last few days, but have now found that I need to adjust the settings in the Dreambox for the LNB to work. After googling I could find no answers so I hope that someone here can help. It is a genuine Dreambox 500s with a recent Gemini image. Many thanks.

beano2274 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I thought that Dreambox was illegal, so therefore against TV Rules to post about. But maybe am getting old!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Didn't know that it was illegal, you can buy it on the net for 33 GBP. Sorry, just trying to answer the OPs question I thought that Dreambox was illegal, so therefore against TV Rules to post about. But maybe am getting old!!!!!!!!!

MJo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Depends on the use, card sharing is illegal but nothing wrong using Dreambox with genuine paid subscription (card) from True. Many do this to have PVR function and overall better box than the ones True sell you with the dish. Edited November 22, 2011 by MJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Maybe you could ask the guys at JSAT http://www.jsat.tv/contactus.html for the correct settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds slanderous towards Dream Multimedia to me, perhaps you should be warned or banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlk Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks guys, I've since found the settings I needed (11300, 11300 and 12000 and 22Ghz tirned off) since posting and have aligned my dish correctly now. Some of the settings were found in anohter post here on TV, I just had to google a bit more to find out the rest. My Dreambox is now showing me the channels I am entitled to, ie the free ones, as i don't have a True subscribtion and I don't cardshare. The Dreambox does have many capabilities, but of course, I am just using mine as a regular satellite receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The Dreambox is definitely legal in LOS and TV, it is cardsharing that cannot be discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I hope the appropriate action has been taken against beano2274 for his slanderous accusations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernalman7 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Dreambox offers benefits even to non-card sharing satellite subscribers. Calling it illegal is just like calling the internet illegal (due to its file sharing capability) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Depends on the use, card sharing is illegal but nothing wrong using Dreambox with genuine paid subscription (card) from True. Many do this to have PVR function and overall better box than the ones True sell you with the dish. Makes you wonder how that is possible if the True cards are matched to the True box and won't work elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other perfectly legal use is to use them to watch free to air channels that does not require paid subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 And just to add is it legal for True to keep the refundable deposits when you discontinue your subscription or move house and cancel old and get new one in your new place ? Or to say they don't refund the deposit but will credit it if you continue your subscription. What ever that means.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
