I have had my DM500s for some weeks now and I have spent numerous hours reading this thread amougst others to get an understanding of its potential functionality. Many thanks for the stickies, manuals and all the information, it has helped me get to my current state.
Current State
- I am base in Ireland, East Coast
- The DM flashed with that latest Pli Iolite Image DM500 image.
- Ability to scan satiletes and view FTA stations
- Box connected via ethernet cable to my Linksys router via cable.
- Ability to ftp files from and too the box
- Ability to Web X TV onto my PC
- Had the ability to stream movie from PC to TV via DM (since Vista SP1 patch, this has not worked, presumming new version of VLC will aid me here when out), but nonetheless had it working previoulsy.
My Understanding:-
- To watch a scambled channel you need to install a cam and config file by selecting relevant cam via blue button
- On the box, set it up so that a default cam is used for doing unscrambling when unscrambled channel is found
- Cams are software equalivant to physical keys and different cams unlock different encryptions
- Different satellites and even different stations broadcast by satellites use different encryption
- For Cam to decode, you must update your key with latest availible.
- Attempted the above with installed keys (numerous) but could not prove they worked (based on my understanding above. But I am also aware that if my understanding is wrong, no matter what I have attempted would not work).
I think, based on my assumptions above, though that they keys may actually work (based on this forumn and others, people say they work). I just dont know or have been able to find, what keys to use to unscramble particular channels from any particular sateillite thus been unable to prove nor disprove my assumptions above.
My Short Term Objectives
- Assistance from yourselves to help clarify my above understanding and put me on the straight and narrow so I have a full understanding of the parts involved.
- To put my understanding into practise and successfully unscramble a channel (which at this stage I will celbrate with a drink and a clap on the back, whislt saying well done )
- To be able to watch English Primier Football via overseas sats at home
- To be able to watch any decent overseas channels with English movies
Many thanks
Darren
