I'm wondering if the DM500 could be used with the Outernet stuff that is currently being tested? Considering people have used DM500's as a card sharing server, I guess it could be used as something to connect to Outernet..

Theoretically speaking, The receiver should be able to pick up the data signals from Outernet sats, I was hoping to be able to use the dreambox as a bridge between the data DBS signal and a wireless router.. I know nothing about programming or linux, but it seems like it could be possible.

Actually I didn't really get what you mean with 'outernet'. I googled it and it just seems to be just another buzzword for mobile internet connections. But that's not really what you're talking about is it? Please clearify your post a little

Thanks for the reply.

The company's name is outernet, I didn't know if putting a link would be allowed so I didn't, their website is outernet.is, they are supposed to be creating a free "Internet" via satellite's, I'm not 100% sure if its a 2 way, or just a one way broadcast, I was wanting to test it.

I have read their pages about it, I was thinking it was a one way signal, which is obviously why its not true internet.. Still want to test it tho. The part I dont understand is their setup (aside from the dish/LNB), I know nothing about what they are using to send the data to the PC.. I read that you can Network the Dreambox 500 and a PC so, naturally one would think you could send the data coming from the sat to the PC. Without having a PC DBS Tuner directly
