converting dm500

[Magnu420]

well i just thought il tell you what ive have been doing for the past few weeks....converting a dm500c into dm500s
you might be thinking WTF ??
any how a mate of mine ( im not gonna name him cos he will get a sh1t load of pm's) had a dm500s which was knackerd and i had a dm500c which was sat in a drawer gathering dust,my mate said why dont we convert the 500c into 500s (nothing ventured nothing gained in my views),so he took the 500c of me,de-soldered the tuners on both boxes also de-soldered the lnb circuitry on the old sat box,he spent about 3 hours soldering the tuner and lnb circuit to the ex cable box,check all circuits which was ok,gave the box back to me,i put a sat img on,and fired the box up went into the settings and got this ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting when i should be getting this ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting notice whats missing .... yes satellite and transponders folder,so i thought the ex cable was still thinking its booting up as a cable box and not a sat box,after searching the forums here and there i came across a dos programme to flash the bootloader with jtagging,any how i got me mate to solder some jtags on the points on the new 500s,i got it home flashed the bootloader,now i can see the satellite and transponders folder,but i didnt see any folder to change the motor setting and putting in usals etc,connected upto the tv plug the sat cable in and wayhay we have sat tv from a cable box,after a good 24 hours of testing,the new sat box is stable,with no pixs freezing or stuttering

so it is possible to change an ex dm500c into a working dm500s
