root reset

First off, you need to have TuxBox commander. You can download it via the Blue Panel then ADDONS. Just select the Gemini Server and, when it's downloaded the catalogue, select PLUGINS and download Tuxbox Commander.

Once thats installed you can access it through Blue Panel, PLUGINS (Tools).

Fire it up and navigate to var/etc

Select the passwd file. Hit 4 to edit it.

You'll see something like this:

root:$1$$3er43323sBBCAw.ofBbt.:0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false



Your root password will obviously be different to the above. What you need to do is replace the first line with this:

root:$1$$34NPeumc9sBBCAw.oUaM80:0:0::/:/bin/sh

And you have to be *exact*.

That resets the password to "dreambox" (without the quotes - password is now dreambox) and you're good to go.

Keys are like the keys to your door. They unlock channels though and not a door. The list off what channels the keys open are included on the the first link.

Explain add channels

Do you mean find new channels like scan for them or add new keys for channels?

Yes mate do a manual scan.

Menu-setup-sat config- tuner manual scan.

Youll find any new services found by pressing the bouquets button then green for satellites. Scroll to new folder and it should be there.

Other way would by to download a channel list off the images addon server or send one over manually.

It will just add any missing channels your current list.

If you still dont pick up the channels you seek then transfer a new sattellite.xml to /etc/tuxbox/ in the case of the 800 and try another scan.

How are you going to receive anything with the 800 connected to a satellite dish :confused:

Is this a typo?

You mentioned Eurosport HD!

Is your visionet a clone of the dm800?

What image are you running?
