A friend recently bought a second hand echostar receiver with magic cam and asked me to upgrade the cam for him. I have the matrix revolutions cam.
When I insert the magic cam into my receiver (manhattan) it is not recognised. I tried it on the echostar and it is not recognised there either.
When i put the magic cam into one slot and the m/rev cam into the other slot, with both receivers no cams are recognised. the m/rev cam alone works fine on both receivers.
I tried installing the mr drivers on a laptop to see if that worked but it didnt recognise the magic (well it didnt even recognise my working m/rev cam - so no real surprise, especially after reading various threads about programming with a lappy).
So getting to the point..... could the cam be dead? Or shall I take the risk and buy a CAS2 interface, and will that enable me to "re-initialise" the magic cam.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
