No channels-Starview 1 and Dreambox DM500c

Hi folks,

My boxes have gone down, I have been told everyones are down?!?!?

I have a Starview 1 box and the other is a Dreambox DM500c and both are only brining in BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4 and Five.

Is there a fix? What can I do to get something, anything more than what im getting now?

Im in Birmingham

Thanks.

...but dont quite understand it.

 

Yep due to the latest encryption NAG.3 "all" old cable boxes will not work, no fix or updates

Have a look at the Starview.6 or 7 and the Kryptview A780

you need broadband aswell for these boxes to work

 

BB access is too risky in my opinion. No other way?

 

well you need internet for them to work
some get them working with the ready to go dongle as there is a special router you can get for them

 

DO I have to purchase that new box then? Are these well and truly dead? OR can these be updated someway?

Sorrry chaps, im relatively new to this, just like to see them working.

 

Yes, as per my post you read, the ones I list are the ones working, cable, the Kryptview is my choice, but on that thread I list where to get em and there is a list of tuts on how to flash em

bham went n3 last week with more chs going on thurs,i.e. sk sports.no fix 4 old boxes yet & dont seem any in the pipeline,bb seems the only way 4ward at the mo,maybe a bit risky & not so straight 4ward..

 

Until a few people have commented on the internet line signal, looks like this is the end of the road on that subject for me. Too too risky for my liking.

 

Well at the end of the day its a risk you take and the choice is yours.
you could always look at the sat option, might be a bit less risky for ya
but do your homework if going down that route

 

yep agreed hooter, once everyone knows both sides of the coin,

 

look for any post by fintannl he shares his SKY CARD maybe he will help you out and let you share his private one he has running

 

I would imagine thats a sat setup e45 whereas the poster was enquiring about cable box, so your wasting the posters time, although I am sure you know this. And shouting it over the place is not clever or funny in my opinion.

 

there are multiple options, if you are on mmds (ireland or uk) you can use a790t. your choice. both work fine

 

they can try but wont work in ireland and they dont sell them in the uk since the A780 is back in stock now lets see you get one from any suplier they just wont have them but im also sure you know this

 

and mooley im sure they can get a tuner changed in the box if they want to go sat route as i got mine changed from cable to sat

 

I was checking that out a long time ago and as far as I was aware it wasn't possible at the time to change from c to s as not only do you need to change the tuner but the main board was different also?

 

some of them have swapable tuners in them as far as i know

 

Probably cheaper to buy a 500s as you also need to jtag it after changing tuner if you find one that is capable to change.

 

did not have to jtag my one just took it off and changed the tuner and cut a small piece out of the box and it works
