![]() ![]() They cover language, TV system, time zone, initial dish configuration and searching for channels – all parameters that can be modified later on via the setup menus. The default Enigma2 firmware's step-by-step wizards guide you through the process of installing the receiver. Unusual is the internally accessible SIM slot, into which has been glued some kind of Dreambox security device these receivers have, after all, been relentlessly pirated.Ī second daughterboard contains the modem, while a metal bracket fitted just above the main chip sports the cooling fan. The main board also contains the card reader, and the main Broadcom 'system on a chip' (built around a 400MIPS processor) is heatsinked. The DVB-S/S2 tuner module is soldered to the main board so it can't be easily replaced with a DVB-T or DVB-C module. Internally, the DM500 HD is busy but neat. The power supply is a travel-friendly 12V variety. The single-tuner input is not accompanied by a loopthrough output. There is also an analogue modem which seems redundant in the face of the Ethernet port. SMS tells us the receiver can be hardware modded to support USB hubs (remember this will invalidate your warranty) but 'out of the box' you'll need an eSATA drive for PVR and media playback functions. It is really small, about the size of a book.A mini-USB port is intended solely for 'service' functions like firmware upgrades. but not in America, so they sell a device that connects to that SCART port and converts the signal to component(Red, Green, Blue). ![]() The device only has a composite(Red, White, Yellow) for video output, and a SCART port that is really common in EU TV sets. The device has a remote control that you can tweak just about anything. The device supports multiple sats and has capabilities of mounting windows folder shares by CIFS or a SAMBA client. it also has a telnet and ftp server out of the box. The box has a debian linux distro, so it handles the most basic commands. The channel list is basically limitless and can be organized by a PC software. ![]() ![]() The dreambox 500 handles just like a normal receiver but this also has a web interface so you can control it, and has support for streaming thru(mpg2 video, mpga audio) thru its ethernet(100mb/s full duplex) interface at an average bitrate of 4mb/s which can not be reduced. ![]()
