dm500t

@ all Ireland visitors,

What boxes do you get when you legitimately subscribe to your cable service?
Are they Pace/Samsung Digital Boxes? or are they something else....
(I am talking about MMDS with I think is the 'Chorus' provider)

[chucky]

mmds

When you subscribe to chorus you get a sagem there is to types one is for cable and one is for Terrestrial. in parts of ireland the 500-c will work. as chorus have cable and Terrestrial

 

[mgb]

The 500-c will work if you got a real cable feed with copper cable to your house.
The 500-t will work if you got a mmds aerial on your roof.

sagem itd 631

 

[drubort]

ah that confirms it

Sagem ITD * is a terrestrial receiver.

All I need now is somewhere to buy a down-converter
Sorry that is OT but does anyone know of a place I can get one?

Did you get the 500t to work on the mmds?

Ntl Mmds

NTL in Ireland now supply the PACE DC221KN (220 model, http://www.pacemicro.com/corporate/products/prodinfo.asp?PID=DC220).

Question for mgb and others. I have NTL MMDS, with the above box, however it is via a central MMDS mast feeding all houses in my estate so there is no mast on my rooftop. Which Dreambox do I need 500-c or 500-t.

Does anyone have a Dreambox working with NTL MMDS in Dublin area?

Not a problem, if you still want one.

It looks like there is a cable network with a feed via mmds. The cable headend convert DVB-T to DVB-C. Such a solution makes only sense in a crowded area.
The Pace DC receiver is for cable and you need a 500C Dreambox.

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead again...

From other posts I have got this info:

Chorus set-top box (MMDS)
signal frequency: 218 mHz,
Tx mode is 8k
modulation is QAM64

Modulation seems to be the one used on dvb-c ?

Aparently the STB is a dvb-c but uses different frequencies for the channels. Could one do a scan to find these different frequencies/channels? </noob>

Hi
you will need dm 500-c

 

[deltabravo]

Has anyone has an idea what type of dreambox and how to use for an area in eire, where chorus is being use instead of NTL,

 

[mgb]

It depends if you get a real cable feed or mmds.
It looks like some peeps are not able to differ between a mmds arial on the own roof and a copper cable coming from the street box.

 

[CHUNKYONE]

took me ages to get one

 

[robcon]

resurection time again!
Has anyone had any success with the 500-t or ch orus yet? has anyone actually tried a 500-t yet?
deltabravo, drubort?

heya

Currently having trouble getting my mits on a downconverter + power unit.

My mate was getting me one, but turned up with just an antenna (regular dipole which is fairly useless without the other stuff). So Im pretty stuffed until I source the kit. Found a supplier on fleabay but deliver costs are nearly as expensive as the kit.

hey dru. ta for getting back to me. sorry but i don't understand why you need the downconverter. what exactly will it do? allow the use of 500-c with mmds or somethin?
cascade might have some info for ya on getting one anyway see post #29 of this thread (just in case you missed it).

@ chucky. in post #3 of this thread http://www.world-of-digital.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69466
you say "Hi, dont no about the dbox2 but the dm500-t works ok" so can i take it from this that the 500-t has been tested on ch orus mmds and works?
cheers people, just wanna know if someone has the 500-t up and running.

 

[drubort]

Hi

I currently dont have ntl/chorus installed (mmds) as I have sky

Anyway a downconverter takes the signal from the antenna on the roof and converts it into a signal that the set top box can understand. They are kinda hard to get if your not ntl or chorus.

Yeah seen cascade's post but I cant PM him.

Anyway hope that helps.
