Dude, either you don't have the signal right on those channels or they're encrypted. One way to check that out:
Menu-settings-service searching-manual transponder scan
you need to get BLOCK and SYNC ticked. If they're both it means the signal is locked

I have moved your posts from encryptions forum to dreambox 500. If you posted in the correct section you stand a better chance of a quick reply. Unfortunately not every satellite enthusiast owns a DM or similar Linux based stb so you will just have to be patient or alternatively read the extensive information already posted.

Did you put your sly Boxkey into CCcam config?

Mike you dont seem to realise that a DB (or any other Linux receiver) is not a magic box that will automatically give you all the channels for free.

DB's are good but you still require a paid subscription for most pay channels. There are a handful of services still open but the glory days of having almost every major pay tv service available are LONG gone.
