Clone Dreambox 500S

[neillans]

I've taken a chance, and have a clone Dreambox 500S on its way to me.

But I have some questions that I haven't seen answered anywhere ...

I have the standard Sky FTA / FreeSat package so I have a current card that allows me to decrypt channel 5 etc. I have this currently in a 2nd hand sky box, and it's working fine no problems, but I'm hoping to move this box upstairs, and have the Dreambox downstairs. Obviously I will need to get another card (or is it possible to Card Share?), but if I pair a 2nd card with Sky, will my first card stop receiving Channel 5 etc?

Regards,

Andy

The official Sky reciever has no way to share the card mate, if you wanted to share then you would need another Dreambox.

Cheers Witchy!

I assume it would be possible to share the card with a different model Dreambox? Thinking I might end up with the 500 upstairs, and a different one in the front room - of vice vera - who knows

Is there any information on setting up card sharing available anywhere?

Any other model of Dreambox would be fine mate.

Google is your best bet for finding more info on card sharing, there are plenty of sites dedicated to it.
