Hi all,


Recently I was given a DM500 Multimedia TV setup box by a friend of mine.
It was given in a box with the logo Black Box.
I checked the information and it stated
DM500
Processor STBx25xx, 252MHz
Frontend Cable

Software Version
Release 1.9.03.10.2008
X-Line PLi (Rebuilt by SayyID)

My friend's setup box is able to view the World Cup but when I tried updating mine to the same frequency it requested for the security pin at the Setup page of the Menu. I tried to use the same security as that of my friend but it didnt work.


Any ideas how to obtain the security pin without trying it 1 combination at 1 time because if the security pin that you entered was wrong it would block out for a period of time.



Much appreciation as I really wish to watch the World Cup like my friend using the box..

Go to website of satellite tv service provider that you use.
Put smartcard on the satellite tv provider in tuner, and re-activate smartcard. (see your satellite tv provider for instructions).

Because it ain't a fta channel you want to see right?

Or, if you're talking about configuration of the tuner, try to reflash it, and then after reflashing it with openpli, select factory default settings and reboot.

I am very sorry but I do not understand what do you mean by putting the smartcard on the satellite TV provider in the tuner and re-activating it

I have tried reading around and I realized alot of the terms here include flashing or imaging the tuner. I am really lost....

Do hope someone can enlighten me on the security pin part.

sound like a PLi ripoff image, we cannot possibly give support on such an image.

The original OpenPLi image doesn't use a pin as far as i know.
So change software on your DM tuner. If you flash to OpenPLi then you used x-line pli will be removed.
How to install OpenPLi (Dreambox Linux image).
Click here and read the part with the words: How do I install the latest PLi® software into my DM box?
To get OpenPLi for your DM500, click here and download the image archive with most recent date.

Your DM500 can have original OpenPLi for 500 or Chinese or Maxvar version.
