500s Sly Dublin Ireland

[donaghq]

All,

I cannot get my dreambox 500s to work. I have a Sly Dish.

I can receive the channels but cannot decrypt any of the good stuff.

I am using digitalworldz ver2.0 image which seems to have evocam2.12 built in.

Has anyone got their 500s to work in Dublin. I have searched through the posts but cannot find any info on a working solution.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

the only way to get the sky channels to clear, no matter what image or cam you have loaded, is with a valid and paid for subscription card m8

thanks for your relpy digidude.

I have a basic paid subscription to sky. I use Sky+ at the moment. I would like to be able to get the ppv channels etc. through the dreambox. that was what i was hoping for when i bought it.

I have read on these forums that people are getting all the channels, What are they doing to do that? pointing at a different satellite? I am pointed at astra? Is this owned by sky?

youll lose the sky+ facility if you switch to a dreambox m8, you wont gain any 'extra' channels or nothing via satellite

people get free channels via cable dreamboxes, but you have to have a basic cable connection for the feed to be coming into the house, the cable dreambox is then flashed with an image, a cam and keys to decode the services that arent being paid for

damn!!! so my 500s is useless?! and I have spent so much time on it! guess it's time to ebay it? out of curiosity how do people use the 500s? is it just a as basic FTA receiver?

Might sound like wasting good money after bad but get yourself a motorised satellite dish to go with the Dm500s and forget about S*y there is so much more on the satellite side than cable.

the 500s is one of the most powerfull satellite receivers on the market m8, i have 3 of them

have a look in the european satellite room to see the channels its capable of decoding

If u can connect your box to a router, then u can have everything on every sat

so does this mean that there is a ray of light! I could connect my dreambox to the internet and it would decrypt the channels using the astra satellite?

thanks!!

If you forget wanting sky channels for free and realise satellite tv as a hobby has lots more to offer then i'd say yes there may be a glimmer of light.roud:
If you just want free sky then nah sell the sat-dreambox it wont suit you.
