    Replacing Dreambox 500c with satellite tuner

    Hi, i have searched the forums but havent found an answer yet. ...
    I have a Dreambox 500c and have just bought a satellite tuner module for it. I have desoldered the tuner but the satellite tuner has 2 pins less than the cable one. Does anyone know which pins fit where?

    I dont want to attempt a guess in case i blow anything up

    Thanks in advance.

    if you get the tuner soldered you will also have to jtag the box and flash the alps bootloader.

      Your near as well buying a sat receiver as trying to add a sat tuner to a cable box, but good luck with your project, hopefully someone here can offer advise, unfortunately I can't

              would it be possible for you to check (if you have one available) DM500s and see how it is soldered on... obviously you'd have to do the jtag bit afterwards but at least you'll know where to solder the points.
