Unless you have access to the MChoice database and get the numbers from them, there's no way we can make it work. I hope there was another way.. I would like to know also.

Hi Paul,

The card matching that MCA refers to is actually a ruse by MCA. I know of several MCA users who use their smartcards in a number of different receivers, and it works fine. A local provider in the UAE also uses the same PVR receivers as MCA (both are made by the same manufacturer in SA) and they claim their cards are 'matched' to the receiver. I have successfully inserted my legitimate UAE card into other 'non standard' receivers and have had no problems at all. Don't believe all you are told from the providers...

I currently use a DM7000 with a CI module and my active MCA smartcard works with no problems at all.

What I am trying to do is use the internal slots of the DM7000 to read the card and allow autoroll updates automatically... THAT is the million dollar bug/issue/problem that I need to solve....

Any suggestions??
