Ok, finally got around to tinkering with this recently! The box I got off eBay had the root password changed, so took a while to figure out who to change this.
You can access via telnet & http, but only if you have the root password, so only way to control the box is via the OSD connected to TV.
This is where my slingbox came in VERY handy, i never use the composite connections on the slingbox, so just hooked up the dreambox to the LAN & slingbox (ir blasters...), now I have remote access to configure it over web, or anywhere really. I'm tight on time for playing with this, so the more remote access, the better ;-)
to reset the password, I just reset the dreambox to factory default which was within one of the standard menus... nothing special there.
next, flashing the dreambox with the right firmware for the job???
