Hi guys finally i just got my DM7020s Genuine Box [Second Hand]
What i want to ask is, the flash process is the same as DM500 using null cable and dream up as i know that method.
Also it has a loop though f connector now i have a sly sub on an HD BOX and it will stay in Box not go onto the DM7020s as i dont have a smargo. so i wanted to ask can i use the loop to connect the tunner B on the HD Box.
The only ting that i'm thinking is if i'm watching on DM7020s say im watching a particulat TP which in turn loops to tuner B of HD Box if i was to change channels on HD Box and its a Different TP and requires the use of tuner B would i get a clash and it not switch on or potentially kill my tuner.
And if i was to power down my DM7020s then would that be ok to continue to use the HD Box as i want to keep that running for Recording and HD veiwing
Easiest way to flash a DM7020/7025 is through web interface.

If your using the loop through and you 7020 is tuned to a channel on a TP the channel being watched by the loop through receiver will be affected, it wont be able to tune. Doubt that it will kill the tuner, you will just get a message saying unable to tune or something.
If the 7020 is in standby you should still get a signal to loop through receiver, but dont think you will if its fully powered down.

Thanks Sic will try the web way and the tunner thing i pretty much thought the same as you said [looks like i need to speak to out sponsor and get an octo lnb]
yes mate. by far the easiest way to flash a DM7020 is by the browser method. this is how i have flashed mine since day one. also if you install a IDE HDD into the box you can use flashwizard 6.3 to install several images as a multiboot system as i do.
if you need any advice regarding the DM7020 dont hesitate to ask.

yes mate thanks i'll call upon your services as and when i need them
thanks for the help just flashed it now gonna connect it up will need to uplug vu first
The best image is Darkstar 2, has some lovely skins with it - but little support now.
i have always used the Gemini images my self and never needed to go with any other as Gemini does very thing you need it to. i do have a multiboot with a few other images though for testing and other uses.

Never experienced the GP as the box I nought 2nd hand and guy swore blind it was orginal but as nothing as is on the net I have tended to avoid GP because of the time bomb.

to be honest i have never yet come across a DM7020 clone, they tended to go for the cheaper easier box the DM500 and cloned that to extinction.
If you guys get a proper EPG on this than I might take the leap

what actual image are u using pheonix caus eif you been using your gp for this long then its pretty much not got the timebomb
presently i'm using Gemini 4.70 and it's been on this box since it was launched well over a year ago, but i've been using gemini since day 1 when i flashed it from the original image. i should have it on this laptop if you need me to upload it.
actually come to think of it. i remember uploading a copy to download section of DBUK

ok got a snag here
i set the av setting on openpli to always 16:9 but every sinle channel regardless of wheather its transmitting in 16:9 or 4:3 is giving me bars and not streaching out.
Any channel transmitting widescreen is giving me a black border all round
is it a setting im doing wrong
