    What is Traveller’s Image Traveller’s Image offers experimental new drivers and software for your Dreambox.. They are compiled out of the official Dreambox drivers from Dream Multimedia (Beta 1.05.3a), the software available from the Enigma project (see later on in this manual for a description on Enigma) and the extension pack created by the Dbox2World-crew (http://www.dbox2world.com).

After uploading Traveller’s Image to your Dreambox, it’s a good idea to erase the part of the flash memory that holds your settings. Old settings might interfere with new images.

  • Page 11: What Is Enigma

    Enigma is build for a DBOX2, another satellite receiver running on the Linux platform. Traveller uses the Enigma source code, but has replaced the libraries that make calls to the DBOX2 hardware by the original libraries from Dream Multimedia. However, there are still some incompatibilities between the two systems, so don’t get mad if something goes wrong or doesn’t work.
