Hello im just wondering is it possible to get 2 cards working in a dreambox 500HD

I read that was possible on dreamboxs that had a USB slot, it could work with a Smargo Smartreader Plus but since the 500HD has only a mini USB slot, am i stuck ?

I bought the following in the attachment, so will that help me get 2 subs going on the 500HD?

The DM500HD has no master USB sockets, only the client USB for updating the firmware. It does have most of the hardware to modify it to have a USB master. If you look around some other forums, there is a hardware mod that you can do to install a master USB socket - this will invalidate your waranty and if done incorrectly could kill your box. You also have to use a powered USB hub with the mod to protect your box from badly behaved USB devices that draw too much power as the circuit does not have protection circuits.
