T-Rex cam

Llew

All cams have limited scope for support eventually - I have plenty gathering dust - but the Diablos are the best for support at present.

could anybody point me in the right direction on how to programme a diablo light cam from new

Mickha

To programme a Diablo light cam you require a Cas 2 or Cas 3 programmer, if you have one, programming the Cam is quite easy.

First ensure you have the latest software for your Cas programmer, currently CIS 8.2.

Download, and uncompress, the latest Stealth firmware, currently Stealth215, you might require Winra,r or Winzip, to uncompress this file.

Once downloaded, and uncompressed, move stealth215.dup onto your desktop, it makes it easier to locate when required.

Start up your Cas software, click on the Cam Module tab, and then click on Diablo Cam and the Diablo Cam icon that opens up.

This brings up a separate window for the Diablo Cam.

If not already inserted, please insert your Diablo Cam into the Cas programmer PCMCIA slot.

Now click on the Cam Disk Functions tab and click Format, always a good step when loading a new Stealth version.

When formatting is complete, click on the Upgrade Cam tab.

Click on the little icon, with 3 dots, at the end of the file name bar.

Navigate to your desktop and stealth215.dup, and click open.

There should now be a little green traffic light on the Start Update icon, click on this and wait for your cam to be loaded.

Once completed, exit the programme and remove your cam.

When your cam is in your receiver navigate to the menu and click on Configuration.
Ensure the following are set:
Auto PMT ON
Emulators ON
Emulator priority 1-Emu 2-Cards
Your Cam should now work.

For some channels you might need to update the keys, but most packages are currently AU (Auto Update), so if you leave your receiver on the correct channel the channel should open.

Updating the keys can also easily be carried out with your Cas programmer.
Insert your Cam into the Cas programmer.
Download the latest Diablo keys.bin file, and again place it on your desktop.
Start up the Cas software and open up the Duiablo section.
Click on the Cam File System tab, and click Connect.
In the bottom left pane click on the new Diablo keys.bin file, and click the green arrow pointing right.
Click yes to overwrite the old keys.bin file, takes a couple of seconds, disconnecxt and exit the programme.
Your cam is now updated.

my diablo cam should be arriving any day now, read your article on how to programme the cam thanks alot mickha. does my cam come already with the firmware installed(stealth 215 dup) or do i have to install myself, if i have to install the firmware myself could you please point me in the right direction of where to download the stealth firmware, thanks

Mickha

They are not supposed to arrive pre-loaded, but it depends on the supplier.
While you are waiting please check out the Links Section (Formerly Nobbly's Big links), found in the general section.
You will find a lot of useful links, posted by members.

recieved my diablo cam and used cas to programme it as per your instuctions mickha, but when i insert it into my reciever the only thing that happens is on my tv it just says "initialising ci module in slot" and nothing happens at all. Programmed exactly as you instructed no prob with stealth 215 and tried 216. Tried updating with new keys with same result any help please

Mickha

Hi eddik,
try inserting your Diablo cam in your Cas programmer. Start up the Cas software and click on the Utilities tab, top right.
Now click on the Comon Interface Host icon.
This should bring up a window showing Stealth 216, enter and alter your configuration settings to:
Auto PMT ON
Emulator ON
Emulator Priority 1-Emu 2-Cards
If you do not see Stealth 216 then the problem is with your Cam.
Download Stealth 216 again and place Stealth216.dup on your desktop.
Then try formatting it again:
Start up your Cas software and click on the Cam Module tab and the Diablo icon.
Click on Cam Disk Functions tab and format.
Once the cam is formatted then click on Upgrade Cam tab, and load Stelath216.dup.
Once completed, exit and click on the Utilities tab again and alter the configuration settings.

If you can see the Cam in the Cas utilities, then turn off your receiver for a few minute, turn it on again and insert your cam, if it still isn't recognised please post back with details of your receiver.

hi mickha,
followed your instructions everything ok, only wont initialise cam in menu, now heres the daft bit , early this evening updated trex with new files and worked great now i have the same problem , wont initialise trex ,i have technisat digit mf4-s reciever,could my reciever now be kaput, worked fine untill i entered diablo

Mickha

Sounds like a fault with your receiver as both cams are now not recognised.
Try installing your receivers latest firmware, from the manufacturers web site, and see if that resolves the problem.

eddik

reinstalled reciever and tried new trex files worked no problem but still the same problem with diablo wont install. Could it be that my reciever does not accept diablo any time

Mickha

It could be a conflict between cam and receiver, the only way to check is to try the cam in another receiver, if you have one, or maybe a friends or relatives receiver.
Or check for anyone, with your receiver, and diablo cam, to see if they have it working.

eddik

hi mickha, could you recommend a reciever for pre..... on 19.2 as i think mine has limited ability and works with a trex or diablo cam

Mickha

We will not have D+, or probably Premiere, for much longer as they are changing official subscription cards to Nagra 3 encryption, the same as Cabo.
If you have a working T-Rex/Dragon Cam in your receiver, load Predator 360, for the T-Rex v1, or Predasaur 220 for the T-Rex super 4.6 cam, both files do the same and open both packages, these files are currently AU, auto updating, Premiere and D+, on 19.2E.
Then you can await future developments regarding a new receiver.

eddik

many thanks mickha for your advise ill hang on and wait to see what happens before proceeding to buy a new reciever

eddik

just read on a german satellite forum that the new cards are being issued nxt month for premiere tv in germany to nagra 3 the same as cabo in portugal. On the forum site it mentioned a card called rom152 do you know anything about this and wii trex and diablo become obsolete with the changeover

Mickha

The Cams will always have some use, as there are other channels, including biss encrypted channels, but I don't think they will be any use for D+, Cabo or Premiere, as if someone does break Nagra 3 they will release a card, or a new cam.
It will be interesting to see what official support is like after the 3 main packages complete the change over.

Turok

how,is the compatibiliy of trex cam,i have bought pace hd reveiver,but the diablo want works there,now i want to buy the trex,can anyone confirm,that is compatible to pace hd?

eddik

i know through the last few days premiere are changing updates more frequent. at this moment im ok with the new predasaur 223. loaded trex card then into cam ,loaded into reciever then security update, had to wait about 2 mins but worked. while i was browing i noticed you can programme the trex using some sort of keys, could anybody have any info on how to programme this way as ive no idea

Mickha

Enter the cams menu using your receivers remote control.
Click on Debug.
Then select the encryption that requires updating, e.g.
OhlAladin where you will find Premiere, Polsat, Digi TV, D+ etc..
Select the provider that requires updating and you will see 4 lines.
00-0 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
00-1 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
01-0 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
01-1 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

If the key that requires updating is 01 select 01-0 and enter the first 8 sets of decimal keys, 3 numbers.
Once complete select 01-1 and enter the next 8 sets of decimal keys.

It's that simple.

eddik

thanks, but ive just read on a german sat forum that as from monday premiere will be gone as they are changing updates up to 4 times a day

Mickha

Premiere is currently AU (Auto Updating) with Predator 363, but they will be changing to Nagravision 3 encryption, like Digital +, at some stage.
Don't believe all you read on forums, even if they knock out the AU facility, the keys are known in advance, and can easily be inputted into a cam.

eddik

thanks mickha for your help much appreciated. what name are the keys for trex known as

Mickha

You enter the keys relating to the provider, they are not specific to the Dragon/T-Rex Cam, but the same for most cams and emulations.
To update the Dragon you enter the cams menu, select Debug and then select the encryption and provider that requires updating.
When there is a key change you will find posts on this forum, with links to sendspace, or other upload sites, you simply download the new key and enter the decimal keys into the cam.
Have a practise with Digital +, I think just the Taquilla channels are still available but it is good practise.
See my earlier post on the subject.

peppey

canal + astra is supposed to be on pred.363,I tried the cine + but dont open.Any idea which are the open channels.

Mickha

On Astra 19E, all Premiere channels are open and the Taquilla channels of D+, all other D+ channels have now switched to Nagra 3 encryption.
You will need to update the latest keys for D+ but Premiere is currently AU.
You can also open TPS, SRG and Polsat on 13E. SRG and Polsat require the latest keys inputting.
For TPS tune to Sci Fi or France 4 until the channel opens then switch to any channel in the package.
