Please note that we will not provide free advice and support for this

Some of these solutions may require software modification or installation of third party firmware
which the manufacturer does not support and therefore void manufacturers warranty of

Q: Can DM7025 stream video over my ethernet network ?
A: Yes. Indeed customer "Brett R." has advised that even the streaming of the
High Definition HD channels broadcast on Optus D1 from their Dreambox to
their LAN works well. Even though the Dreambox will not decode
High Definition satellite TV it has no problem streaming it to the network.
This has been sucessfully decoded with a PC running VLC or simply Nero Media Player. There
may even be a codec out there that you can plug into the Dreambox to do the same.
Please let us know if you have used a codec that can do this.

Q: Can I use a DM7025 TV Tuner card in my DM7000 ?
A: No. the tuner is different.
-
Q:Does DM7025 have Component Video Output ?
A: DM7025 has a SCART connector that can do it. There is a version of SCART
that supports YPbPr. This is fairly simple to use as all it requires is a standard component RGB cable. You just need to set the Dreambox O/P properties to YPbPr in the A/V setup of the GUI. I am using a Gemini Image (not approved by Dream Media). However, I'm sure the standard Dreambox image also supports this feature as Gemini seems to have left all the setup features from the original image as
is.
Credit to Customer "Brett R" for this advice.

Q:How do I add extra satellite details to the satellite list on my
DM600PVR ?
A: To add new satellite details such as Optus C1 for example modify the satellites.xml file in
the /var/etc directory
