Download Firmware Dreambox DM7000 1.0.8

Owners of a digital TV and radio receiver in the form of a Dreambox DM7000 can pick up new firmware for their device. Or should we say: operating system, because to the undoubtedly great pleasure of anyone who tries to tweak the box, a full-fledged Linux distribution runs on the thing. Whatever it may be, it managed to reach version 1.08, which includes quite a few changes from the previous release:

• Kernel upgrade to 2.6.5 Dreamkeyboard-Support activated (Keyboardsetup for changing Layout available)
• current Web Interface from cvs
• added dhcp support
• added passwordprotection to Web-Interface (can be disabled in expert setup)
• auto retune when signal is lost for a short time
• left/right mono works now too, when channels sends only stereo (former it only worked when 2 mono-channles were sent) Endtime and what should happen when timer is over (nothing/standby/shutdown) can now be changed during running timer- events
• At the End of an timer-event the box controls if there starts another timer-event during the next 10 Minutes, if not, you will be asked if the box should go into standby/deep standby (30 sec. timeout)
• on deleting an recorded movie, the name of the movie will now be showed in the “Are you sure”-Window
• debug-output on serial port can be disabled in expert-setup (needs to be enabled for installing settings over serial port) this is optional because the serial port can’t be used otherwise when enigma opens it.
• enigma now sets up linux-time
• removed option to format with ReiserFS. reiserfsck still available.
• increased maximum number of LNBs to 32
• fast-zapping option in expert-setup, when enabled, everthing is as it has always been, when disabled, zapping is a little slower but there are no more of that short sync-freezes
• DVB-Subtitles work now (eg 15°W Extreme Sports – crypted) – can be enabled in Audio-Menu (yellow Button)
• Added factory-reset (actually the same as a flash-erase)
• Added automatic volume adjustment (enable in Audio-Menu with blue Button an choose Volume with Vol+/-). Works best when you turn the Volume to the max. before using it.
• Added Help in Text Input Fields.
• no more need grabber.o to make a screenshot (but no deinterlacing).
• added sleep/wakeup scripts (/var/etc/enigma_enter_standby.sh and enigma_leave_standby.sh)
• max filename length is now 100 Characters.
• for dvr timers enigma never more do wakeup from standby

[break]Besides these new features as the manufacturer labels them, a lot of bug fixes have also been made. The complete list is here to find. The download of the new release is done in the form of an image file that has to be flashed to the Dreambox. This is possible through the program DeramUP†
