Hi Experts,

Just got my new DM500S, I have installed the new Gemini Image 4.50 and CCcam 2.0.10.

Do i need to change something in the CCcam.cfg file, bcuz when i insert the SmartCard in the CI slot nothing happens, no message is displayed on the TV Screen telling if the card is inserted or not.

Can someone help me on this.


DM-500 newbie

Install CCcam Info to check if CCcam can "see" your card. Is inserted correctly (chip down I think)?

So the card is detected properly, but still no display.

Use the latest version of SCAM it works fine. Ccam does not.

Use SCAM it works no problem.

CCcam does not work unless you use it with Newcard and a suitable config file.

Hi All,

I got the same problem but can't solve. I just bought a dm500S and follow the instruction above, I have installed Gemini 4.4 for the image, installed CCcam 2.1.2 and CCcam Info 1.1 and Scam 3.52 through net. My smartcard is Irdeto2 original card which is worked for the normal Irdeto embedded receiver. When I insert this valide card into CI slot, I can not decript any channels I subcript for it. FTA channels received OK. Check CCcam info entertainment field show "no card or unknown card put in". Does anyone can help me to make it work. Thanks very much.

Make sure you card is recognized first... flip the card and insert it back and try entitlement again... if it still not working meaning it could be the case your Card reader is not working properly...

Thanks ksiddiqi,

I borrowed one of my friend's Satellite pay channel subscription smartcard (but non Irdeto 2) and inserted to my DM500s, check CCcam Info's Entitlement and I can see some info to display there. So I am sure my DM500s receiver's CI reader works fine. But at the meantime, I found something different from these two cards. these two cards are looks like smartcard format but the Chips position and size in my Irdeto 2 smartcard is slightly different from my friend's smartcard (around 1-1.5 mm shift over), then I got one of my Bank's credit card which built in smart chip and compare with all their chip position and size. I found out only my Irdeto 2 smartcard is different from the other two cards (Chip size and position on Bank smartcard and my friend's Sat smartcard are both exactly the same). Just like to know if this the reason why my dm500s can not detect my Irdeto 2 card? Anyone with Irdeto 2 smartcard would you pls compare your's and normal smartcard and tell me the result. If it is the case, how can I solve this problem, should I need to replace my dm500s card reader or I can use some external card reader to get my card's detected. Thanks. (btw, my card is absolutly works fine in my two Irdeto embedded receivers. So I wonder if my Sat service provider they made this in purpose or All the Irdeto cards should be the same as my card). Waiting for your guys help.
