Hi,

Can you please kindly advise what channels are available with the Diablo CAM 2.3 compared to a Dragon CAM?

Many thanks in advance, for your help.

With kind regards.

You can not get TPS with the Dragon/T-Rex cam, unless there is a new Predator/Predasaur file, which seems unlikely, or when TPS turn off their AES encryption, which they do occasionally.
Currently the best packages available with the T-Rex are Premiere 19E and Digi TV 1W.

Polsat 13E is open with the older Diablo 2.2 and Dragon/T-Rex cams but DigitAlb and Canal Digital are only available with the Diablo 2.3, or upgraded 2.2 cams.

Thanks, I take it showtime on 7 west is secure do you know if there are any moves to move Polsat to a better encryption. Im just worried that paying for extra lnbs now on 13 might become useless by December.

TPS is moving to Astra 1, 19E, shortly and no doubt Polsat will upgrade their encryption at some point, that's why it's best to be flexible in this hobby.
Probably the safest route is a subscription to a package like DigitAlb, but even they are beginning to pair subscription cards to receivers, at present just for the HD channels, but who knows what might happen in the future.
I think ART & Showtime were open recently, on patches and the Diablo Cam, but I don't know if they still are.
Nothing is guaranteed to stay open as providers tend to fight back against us viewing their channels for free.

TPS is moving to 19E not Polsat, and upgrading their encryption.
No one can ever predict what will be available to view in the future but you improve your chances by being as flexible as possible.
There are a lot of channels on Astra 1 19E and Hotbird 13E so there is always a chance that something might be viewable in the future but nothing is guaranteed.
The only way to ensure that you can always view channels is by subscription.

thanks mickha 4 all of your answers , i think i might try and get a motor and become more flexible, if i can move my 1.3 dish i might just get 1w and i can always get a diablo cam as they look like they are opening a few more things at the moment

To program a Diablo Cam you require a Cas programmer, add to that the cost of a 2.3 Diablo Cam and you're in the region where you might even consider getting a new receiver.
The Diablo team have even brought out a Linux based Q Box receiver with a built in Diablo cam, which might work out better value, depending on the price they market it at.

Hello Mickha ...hello everybody,

First of all thanks for this thread...it helped me a lot having just bought Diablo 2.3 and a Moteck SG 2100A.

The info got by Micka is gold:):):) but what it is not clear to me is ART & showtime were open by what? or what do we need for that?

Thanks in advance

have a nice evening;)

When the keys are available you just add the latest Diablo keys.bin file using your cas programmer.
Locate the latest Diablo keys.bin file.
Insert your Diablo cam into the cas programmer and start up the software.
Start up the Diablo software, click on Cam Module tab, then on the 2 diablo icons.
Click on Cam File System tab, and connect.
On the left hand side, in local files, locate the new downloaded diablo keys.bin file, highlight it and click the green arrow pointing right.
Click yes to replace, then disconnect, close the software and place your cam in your receiver.

WOW...I knew only how to install the latest underworld...many thanks Mickha !!!!;)

Where can I get the keys?

Currently I only receive 13,16 and 19.2 Est due to a bad dish position. Next weeks I have to move it on the roof...I'm looking forward to get 1 and 7 west.

PS I fully agree with you in being flexible with this hobby

Thanks again:):):)

You can usually get the latest keys.bin file the same place you get your Stelath/Underworld files.
These files are provided by fellow satellite enthusiasts who update the current keys.bin file, found in all Stealth/Underworld files, using Fausto, which is a software utility developed to work with diablo keys.bin files.
