Complete nooby with a dm500s

[gb14929]

Ok, here goes, I'm think I might purchase a dm500s, I currently have a Manhattan box pointing at Hotbird 13.0?E. It has been working a treat up until now whereby the box has become faulty. So I went looking and found the DM500S, so here's my question I want to be able to watch the RAI & Media5et channels and as I have been able to watch them as free to air, some of the programs are encrypted using med1aguard and via acce55. If I purchased the DM500S and installed a softcam program, can I watch these encrypted programs if I obtained the relevent keys ??????
Thanks for taking the time to read this.....

I have a dm500s tell me what satellite they are on and I will tell you if I can see them on my box.

Curious123, thanks for the quick reply, the FTA channels are 11,766V on h0tbird, now the problem I have is, some programs on these FTA channels become encrypted. So I was looking to view the channels again on hotbird but at 10,992V. What i want to know is can I view the encrypted channels using the dm500s and using a softcam, and if so what softcam will I need. I understand that I will require some keys, but they are not offered on this site.

Thanks again

None of the web sites in the UK now have keys as they could risk prosecution. You will find that some of the images for dm500 such as Nabilosat will allow people to download the keys from their download servers so it is no longer to even necessary to search for the keys. I use Cccam 2.0.9 cam and this works fine for everything and also it is good for cardsharing.

Thanks again, as I don't want any confusion, I can use a DM500S and Cccam 2.0.9 and that will allow me to view the RAI encrypted channels with Mediaguard ??? Is their any particular Linux image that will need to be installed ???

Sorry, Like I stated at the begining.... NOOOOOOBY

I ma not at my box so I can't check the ones you mention but there are a load FTA on Hotbird 13E and they are all viewable.

[gb14929]

Thanks again for the prompt response, OK here's the problem although these are FTA, some programs they show on the channels become encrypted ie when a film or sports come on.

OK update, I've taken the plunge and I've purchased one of these boxes. Now I'm looking to watch some channels that may become encrypted with med1aguard. Can someone advise what image/softcams I will need to install ???

Thanks for all your help

hi m8 nave a look in the download section for the nabilosat image

[gb14929]

westkill. thanks for the support, I've got the img file, now just need to wait for the box.

Hello once again everyone, well I've received my new 500S from DVBMonkey, Like other's have mentioned, took a while, but the best things come to those who wait.

Now, firstly, I've used DREAMUP and have taken a default image (just incase I make a complete mess of it), I've then uploaded the "nabilosat image" (thanks westkill). All appear's to be OK. I can login to the 500S using flashfxp and can now browse it no problem.

So where do I go from here..... What I'm trying to do is receive encrypted hotbird channels ie med1aguard. Can someone advise me on what needs to be installed ? I'f its keys I need, I'll g00gle for them. Just looking for some pointers.

I will not be connecting this box up to a LNB until later this week, but wanted everything installed if poss.

Thanks again for all you're support.

hi you need to install Cccam2.09 by pressing your yellow button twice allao you will see an option to download keys then you should be ready for action there are keys posted all over the net that you can load by using DDC

[gb14929]

firestorm, thanks again for your support, I've downloaded Cccam2.09 via the yellow button and all looks good, also when I looked in "Addons Download Manager", "Latest 10 Uploads", There is a item called "nabiastkeys_nab" updated 26/10/08, will these be enough for what I'm looking for ???? If not, If I need further keys, do I just edit one of the files and merge the new keys ??? Or does one need to create another file ??

Cheers
