You can make your own list by browsing the Hot Bird 13E and Astra, as nobody will do it for you.

Remember to click on the P=Packages to see more encrypted channels.
Hope that another member will reply regarding the updating.

The Dragon doesn't usually openTPS it is just that TPS have turned off their AES so most things currently open it, this shouldn't last too long though.
With the Dragon and Predator 366 you can open the folowing packages: Premiere 19E, Polsat 13E and Digi TV 1W, along with a few other channels.
To update the Dragon you either need a Loader Card and card programmer, or a Cas 3.

Not without a new Predator, or Predasaur file, and support seems to have dried up again, only kinkdink was providing us with new files.

The Dragon Cam will not open TPS, as this package altered its encryption, the only reason you could still view it was that they had turned off the AES and were using just the older encryption, I'm now guessing they've switched back as you can't open it, but I'm not able to check that at the moment.
If you upgrade to Predator 366 you can still open Premiere 19E, Polsat 13E and Digi TV 1W.

You either need a loader card, Fun 7 or PIC F84A, and card programmer, or a Cas 3 programmer.
What satellite equipment do you have?

You need to buy some extra equipment - starting with a programmer.

Hello all,
I am new to all this + was wondering firstly how to update card or cam? I am pretty techy minded as i build PCs as a hobby.

The cam i have is version 3.02, bought from a friend and unsure if it has ever been updated, also loader card.. think he purchased it and never knew what to do with it really!!:-doh!

additional info - inserted cam into my pace ds810xe receiver and it showed it had predator version 3.58 installed. The loader card has some pre-installed stuff on it, but I am unsure of where to go from here....

your help would be much appreciated :)

To update the Dragon Cam you will need a card programmer capable of programming your loader card.
There are two types of loader card, the Fun 7 and the PIC F84a, if it is a Fun 7 it will have it written on it, if it is a PIC F84a it will have Dragon Loader, or something similar, written on it.
If you really want to get a programmer for the future I would recommend the Cas 3+, as this can program both Cams and Cards.
You have not mentioned what satellites you cam receive, if you only have a standard mini dish for Astra 2, 28.2E, then you will not open a great deal, if you have a motorized satellite dish you can currently open the following packages with your Cam:
Premiere 19.2E, closing down very soon as they are upgrading their encryption to Nagra 3.
Polsat 13E
Digi TV 1W.

ok thanks Mickha for reply .. i do indeed have the dragon loader card and it seems to have had some stuff pre-installed on it when i go into the debug settings

however that seems a bit complicated to me just yet lol

i have a fixed (communal) sat dish, but its huge!!

I seem to get signals from all the satellites i have searched but granted, some have poor signal quality.

what is the next step i should take, do i need a card programmer like a cas3 to get the full potential of card and cam?

Only if you can receive the satellites, and packages, mentioned.
You should be able to manually update the keys, go into the Cams menu, Debug, OhlAladin and the relevant provider, but I'm unsure if the channels will open using that predator version, but worth a try.
Have a look here for the channels currently available, try tuning tham in and manually updating the keys:
