Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History and description [ ] The Linux-based production software originally used by Dreambox was originally developed for, by the Tuxbox project. The Dbox2 was a proprietary design distributed by for their services. The of KirchMedia flooded the market with unsold boxes available for Linux enthusiasts. The Dreambox shares the basic design of the DBox2, including the Ethernet port and the PowerPC processor. Its is officially user-upgradable, since it is a Linux-based computer, as opposed to third-party 'patching' of alternate receivers.

All units support Dream's own (CA) system, with software-emulated (CAMs) available for many alternate CA systems. The built-in interface allows networked computers to access the recordings on the internal hard disks on some Dreambox models. It also enables the receiver to store digital copies of DVB on or broadcast the streams as to and clients. Unlike many PC based systems that use type of DVB receiver cards, the built-in conditional access allows receiving and storing encrypted content. In 2007, Dream Multimedia also introduced a non-Linux based Dreambox receiver, the DM100, their sole to date, still featuring an Ethernet port. It has a USB-B port for service instead of the RS232 or mini-USB connectors found on other models. Unlike all other Dreamboxes, it features an CPU instead of PowerPC or MIPS.

Dreambox models [ ] There are a number of different models of Dreambox available. DM 7000-S The DM 7000 is based around the IBM STB04500 controller, featuring a PowerPC processor subsystem and hardware MPEG decoding, has 64 of, 8 MiB of memory (directly executable), a slot, a dual reader, a card reader, a 1.1 port, and an (also known as ) interface for attaching an internal 3.5 in to convert the unit into a. Accepts only 230 V AC power. Because the boot loader resides in flash memory, this model may require the use of a in case of bad flashing which destroyed the boot loader. However, a bad flash will occur under rare scenarios, and rarely, almost never, will you need a JTAG.

DM 5600, DM 5620 [ ] There was a DM 5600 and also a DM 5620 model. The only difference being that the DM 5620 included an Ethernet port. Otherwise, the DM 56X0 models were a cut down version of the DM 7000 without an IDE interface. They did, however, include an allowing them to be used with older TVs that lack a connector. DM 500, DM 500+, DM500HD [ ] The DM500 is the successor to the DM5620 and is the smallest and cheapest Dreambox. It is based around an IBM Digital Set-Top Box Integrated Controller, featuring notably a 252 MHz processor subsystem, hardware video and audio decoding and smart card interfaces. The DM500 features 32 MB of RAM and 8 MB of NOR flash memory, of which 5 MB are used for read-only firmware ( and filesystems), 256 kB by the boot loader and the rest by a writable filesystem.

It has the standard features of a free-to-air (FTA) satellite receiver, plus extensive networking connectivity and a single smart card reader. It does not feature a 7-segment LED display, normally found in other FTA decoders. Also has the ability to be used on Digital satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts (also known as DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T). The DM500+ model has 96 MB of RAM instead of 32, and 32 MB of NAND flash instead of 8 MB of NOR flash. This makes it similar to the DM600 PVR model. It is only available in DVB-S versions. The new DM500HD was announced in on May 26, 2009.

The price will be between € 350 and € 400. DM 7020 [ ] The DM 7020 is essentially an updated DM 7000 with 96 MiB of RAM, 32 MiB of (disk-like) and an RF modulator. Changes were also made on the software side, utilizing Open Embedded for the base Linux operating system. Ayla Figlia Della Terra Pdf File. Because the flash memory of this model is not directly executable, the primary boot loader resides in ROM and can recover corrupted secondary boot loader in flash by loading from the serial port. There are some 2 (beta) images already available for this model.

DM 7025, DM 7025+ [ ] The DM 7025 is similar to the DM7020 but with the ability to add a second 'snap-in' that makes it possible to watch one program while recording another. It is possible to change the tuner module, selecting between any two of Satellite, Terrestrial or Cable versions.
