NO need to search for the website, software, keys and the procedure for updating your receiver(STB). Get an auto-updating receiver, connect it to your LNBs (from the dish of course). Also connect it to your DSL Router (like you connect your PC to your router). It updates its software AND keys by downloading it from the net. The ‘FUN’ part is that you are able to watch not only the ‘free to air’ channels but also the ‘scrambled channels’. The currently popular receivers available in the middle east market (sold SECRETLY) that 'self update' from the net are Maxx 1000, Axe 1000, StarX, Linksat and Dreambox. The price range is between US$ 160 and US$ 200 (The 'Paid Packages' that I could watch 'without payment' included most of those from NILESAT and HOTBIRD. The only ones that didn't decipher on my STB (MAXX 1000) were Playboy and Privatespice. All others that I could watch were MCT, CYFRA, FREEX, NOVA, PEHLA, RTVi, ARABESQUE, AL-JAZEERA, SHOWTIME, TUNER, TV Carbo & Zee. No scrambled channels from Asiasat or Intelsat (both C-band!) 'opened'. Unfortunately, starting June 24,2008 (Tuesday) they stopped auto updating software and their keys, so NO MORE free viewing of the 'previously deciphered' scrambled channels. (Dreambox is the only one STILL auto-updating through download and opening all the channels which the other STBs are now failing to do). We are hoping these receivers will start their auto-update on Friday (27th June 2008), cos the server is updating, whatever THAT means, in THIS case! If the auto-update fails after the ‘mentioned date’ the users might have to register WITH PAYMENT (about US$50) for a specified period of 4 to 6months. The strange, but interesting fact about these receivers is that their user’s manuals mention NOTHING about the DSL connection, auto-update, or even their ability to decipher scrambled channels. More interesting is the fact that; ‘their DSL input SLOTS’ are hidden with a sticker to conceal their existence! Why? Wouldn’t this ADVERTISEMENT fetch them more money? Or, maybe they are just ILLEGAL! | ||

Still looking for servers; I guess they are afraid of being closed down permanently. I'll update here, as and when something turns up. Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best ! | ||

Good news! These receivers are all auto-updating again since about 7pm GMT (July 6, 2008). There is still some waiting involved though, as the HOTBIRD channels are still not deciphered, however, the NILESAT 'paid packages' are mostly opening. Anyway, atleast all of those out there who invested in these receivers will atleast get something their money's worth! I would suggest, 'wait a little longer'! Good Luck | ||

A software update 'patch' was released on July 8,2008 afternoon; BUT updating it, got all the PACKAGES I had on my list to disappear! I've got only 4 Packages (ART,PEHLA,NILESAT,SHOWTIME) remaining from the initial list of over 13; maybe 13 was unlucky number after all! Actually only the Nilesat channels are 'unscrambled' and NO luck with any of the hotbird channels yet! If some of you are still facing problems with the Nilesat channels, do the following:- Menu>Internet>Put all the connections ON (Select: ON,ON,OK,OK)> Restart the receiver> Put on some encrypted channel from Nilesat and leave it there for about 5minutes. It should do the job; if not, do the following:- Menu>Internet>Put all the connections ON (Select: ON,ON,OK,OK)> Select S/W upgrade>OK>Start download>OK>Software Upgrades(Receiver will download the patch and reboot) Now again Menu>Internet>Put all the connections ON (Select: ON,ON,OK,OK)> Select S/W upgrade>OK> Select 'start Key download'>OK>Key downloads and the receiver reboots(restarts). Put on some encrypted channel from the Nilesat and leave it there. Good Luck! | ||

The idea of a forum is that you read what is written had you bothered to read the last post in the thread you posted this on the reason would have been obvious, according to that post there is no solution apart from patience

My System: Humax 5400Z | For those who are new to this thread or to forums all together, I will give a short update on the recent Linksat, Maxx and various other similar auto updating receivers. The reason why our access to encrypted channels is scrambled is because the main server which sends us all needed info is down. This can be due to two main reasons. 1. Either the change of place of the server itself. 2. Or the introduction of a number of new servers to support the load of receivers. There are various different versions about if the service will come back, but it is highly expected to do so. Regarding when, that is an other issue. The longest expected is about 2 wks, till Sunday 27 th, however a source close to the technicians said on an other forum that service should return to normal by Tue 22nd. Let's Hope, Wait and See. Regards and Take Care. | ||

My System: Pheonix Apollo converted to an openbox x820 | From what i've read about these boxes, they are more hassle than they are worth.. The server is always down.. If they support newcamd there are many servers out there which support this.. But you will have to pay..
