Dreambox DM-500S was unlocking channels and stopped...

[JoannaD]

Hi,
So i bought a Dreambox DM-500S from Dubai, paid for the receiver and the "subscription" that unlocks all showtime, art, and orbit channels for 200$/year (the subscription alone)...
it was working fine, then suddenly, it decides that it doesnt want to unlock the channels anymore... this happened over the span of a week, it was working fine last sunday, and now i can only see free channels... but i'm paying 200$/year for the rest, and they're not working...
i have never owned any kind of satellite receiver before, so i have no idea wat went wrong... is this something that anyone can help me with?

Your reciever is connecting through the internet to cardsharing server somewhere which is currently offline or has been shutdown. Your best bet will be to contact the seller and advise him of your problems.

hmmm, wow, ok thanks, i'll do that..

what cam are you using ie if you are using gbox you can download gbox control centre and this will show you if your peers are conected also are you using no-ip for a remote dns these will expire after 30day unless you answer there email which would also stop your cardserver from connecting to your box

Hi, thanks for your reply,
i'm actually using CCcam 2.0.9 coz that's wat the guy in dubai put for me, and come to think of it, it has been around a month since i bought it...
is there a way to do that with CCcam or only gbox?

[firestorm]

just one more question which image have you got on your box?because you may be able to download the control centre for ccam via your blue or yellow button then we can see why your channels are not clearing

[JoannaD]

umm im not sure how to answer this question, but when i wanna say gemini?
a big GP appears on my screen when i turn the receiver on...

[firestorm]

ok it sounds like gemini its a long time since i used gemini becuase gemini kills 500s.Sorry for the delay but i have been called in work i will load gemini on my box tomorrow and write down the instruction on how to find out if your server is working by the way the box is connected to the internet?

[JoannaD]

yeah, it's connected to the internet,
thanks a lot btw, u'r the only one across several forums who was willing to help!

Your box is working through cardsharing which is an illegal activity in most countries which maybe why people are probably reluctant to assist on most forums.

press the blue button goto addons and then download gemini server then goto cam plugins then download and install CCcam-info-1.1 exit it all then press the blue button again goto plugins and select CCcam info then have a look at your servers and share,providers and you should see if your cardserver is on line and if so what cards are being shared then get back to us please dont post any detials of your server ie name ect

[firestorm]

once you have this workin you MUSTchange your mac addres or get rid of gemini as it will kill your box

[JoannaD]

ahh well i didnt know that, apparently since the guy is making me pay for it, i didn't know it's illegal...

[firestorm]

only if you get caught.thats why this site is cool and others suck

[JoannaD]

alright, so i did the info thing, and it told me that the server is offline and there are 0 cards.. ??
