    As far as I know, no. You need a DM500-T and you have a DM500-c. You can buy a replacement terrestrial tuner though for that model and just replace the cable tuner.

    Sorry to say but the tuner is soldered to the main board so it is not possible to change a tuner module in a dm500. it is possible in later models of dreambox but not the dm500

    at this stage would be better to keep it as is, if MMDS is moving to N3 as quickly as it has.

    Depends what you mean by mmds
    ON chorus mmds (6875) a Dream 500-T will work until Nagra 3
    On NTL mmds (6887) a dream 500-C did work until Nagra 3 switch-over.
    The 500-C will work if you hook up to internet & can find a server for
    cable c/s

    Seems to be quite hard to find a c/s cable server, for me anyhow.

    not only is it hard to find a c/s cable server, its even hard to read the nagra card. its not just boxkey, but also rsakey required. and from what i've read trying to get that info is no mean feat

    Yeah I heard about the bloke in Poland and a couple of others. Sounds like a lot of hassle.

    The CAM is more important than the image.
    D.K.1.1 is better image,but it easier to install CCcam to PLI-JADE
    image.Easier still if you find image with CCcam already installed.
    I'm sure some senior member will point you in right direction.
