Hi All.

I currently have a DM 600 PVR and am thinking of upgrading to a DM 800 HD PVR.I have saved all my channels and Bouquets from the DM 600 PVR using Dream Box Edit by Llama Ware. http://dreamboxedit.digsat.net/index.html

My question is that if I do upgrade to the new DM 800 HD PVR can I transfer 'easily' all my saved channels and Bouquets stored on my computer/network using the Dream Box Edit software or will I have to manually go through the individual satellites and channels with the handset and store all the bouquets and channels one at a time? I am unsure if the Dream Box Edit software is a compatible with both Dream Box systems. Ultimately, it would be great if I could just log into my new DM 800 HD PVR and load all the Bouquets and channels which I previously had and hey presto!

I am unable to find the answer anywhere so some expert advice would be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Maxl.

Thanks for the help. I googled your suggestion and found a zipped file of the latest Dream Box Edit 3.0.3.0 software installed it and copied all the flies, channels and bouquets from my DM 600 PVR to my computer.Once I get the new DM 800 HD PVR I will transfer the data and fingers crossed, that should be that.

I’ll keep you posted on my success.

Once again thanks for your help.

Regards.

Hi All.

Well I guess it was asking too much for it to be easy. I have now downloaded the latest version of the DreamBox Edit 3.0.0.1 and have purchased and installed my fantastic new DM 800 HD PVR.

When I try to transfer all the saved bouquets/channels from my computer to the DM 800 HD PVR I get an array of error messages. Try as I might, I cannot seem to resolve the problem. I am once again hoping that there is an expert out there that can assist me in my endeavours to have all my channel/bouquets data transferred to my new box.

The error message I get is as listed below:

Connecting to 192.168.1.7.
Connected.
Dreambox response: Login successful.
** Getting directory list /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/* **
Starting FTP transfer
Transfer complete
** Sending file "/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/services" **
Starting FTP transfer
Transfer aborted
Error sending file "services" to the Dreambox.
Disconnecting.
Disconnected.

Any ideas as to how to resolve this?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi SiennaRoot.

I did what you said and it ‘appears’ to have worked. HOWEVER, I cannot seem to get the bouquets etc on the DM 800 HD PVR. I have turned off, reloaded, restarted, and rebooted everything a million times but it still has not loaded into the DM 800 HD PVR. I am sure it is something simple or a setting I need to change but I am clueless as to what that could be.

ANY ideas as to how to make it all come together?

Once again, many thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi SiennaRoot.

Many thanks for your help and response to my enquiry.

ALL of your suggestion have worked perfectly with all my channels and bouquets now being able to be sent to and from the receiver as needed. I have also downloaded the latest version of Dream Box Edit 3.1.0.2 which was released today.

Once again thanks for your help.

Regards.
