after installing indb image ive lost my hdd and now only seeing mbc's on 26east .and nothing on such as sirius or 19east .

which would be a good starting image to enable my 9000 to see the harddrive, just so i can get it up and running as it were/ should do.
thanks for looking jud

unplug the box connect dok in back hold power button
and plug box when "usb" show in front release power button & wait
4 "done" 2 show.

good luck

is there any chance that i can test whether the 9000 is seeing the actual usb socket ?
just to confirm theres no bad contacts etc .

i have had the same problem with my usb for ages, but i use the hdd to boot from anyway. however last week i decided to have a look to what was going on.

measured usb voltage which was only running 3 volts. a bit more investigating it turn out to be the large cable socket on the motherboard was loose. took the board out and looked on the botton and all but 2 connections the solder had come loose.

resolder the connections and all is ok

With situations like this its best to flash box with last official release from DGS whatever that was

Then once its ok install something like the last PGI image (DGS based not enigma 2) as its still supported by PGi team

In the long term as DGS/Cuberevo aren't supporting these boxes any longer, all support will come from 3rd party teams

These do it as hobby to help out the owners & to learn new stuff themselves

Sadly as with all technology these things soon become replaced with something bigger faster etc etc

Vu & Xtrend are examples of this & receive support from most of the major teams such as black hole, vix, aaf, pli

In terms of plug in & play boxes it cant think of ones that can access lots of free channels with'gift'

The last one was the spiderbox not sure if these are still available

Otherwise post a question in general sat sections for easy to use HD box with lots of support

Best to get a cheap subscription as there is nowt available now via cams

hope this clears things up for you
