Been checking around...seems to be a
good deal of clones not working.
Folks don't know if it's Gemini or dreamMedia drivers,
lots of speculation.

Here' the only fix I've seen....with a jtag fix.
USE AT YOU OWN RISK

Most good satellite dealers have a jtag interface in their service departments

Ok. Let's take the stance that you have been ripped off by an unscrupilous vendor and you bought in good faith as an original DM500. After all you'd never buy fakes... Would you?

Whilst you are in touch with the vendor / trading standards etc you have a crippled blue button panel that spoils your viewing as you can get your bits and bobs easily...

Never Fear. We at *** have 3 solutions for you....

1: Flash back to Gemini 4.20 it works just as well and still downloads all the stuff from the blue button panel.

2:Download the file below, unpack it from the archive and FTP it to /var/etc
Note: If you already have an init file in /var/etc you will have to manually edit this file. FTP it to your desktop and add the text from the init you downloaded. Now reboot your dreambox

What does this file thingy do?
The Gemini 4.30 image looks at a thing called the MAC address of the network chip. It's a hardwired identity of your dreambox so to speak. It seems all cloned DM500s have the same MAC address. If the image sees the cloned address you're locked out!

The file actually tells the image to change the MAC address to a different one that is a non cloned one. This means the blue panel MAC check comes up fine and you can use the panel again.. For the inquisitive minded amongst you this is called MAC Spoofing.
