How often do cams need updated?

Hello folks

How often do cams need updated if I were to purchase one with the most recent stuff on it? What happens if I don't update and how will I know an update is required.


kind regards

depends on what cam you've got
with dragon / trex cam only needs updateing when a major change has taken place
but most of the time if its just a simple key change they can be updated by your receiver remote

Lovely stuff mate, just purchased a Dragon. Any rough estimate on a time. Say, every 6-12 months?

No one can answer that question, but support for the dragon cam seems to have stopped, only kinkdink was providing updates.
The last Predator file was 366 so if your cam has that loaded then you don't need to update for Premiere 19E, Polsat 13E, or Digi TV 1W, but if there are new biss encrypted channels added then you will need to update the cam to receive them.
The Dragon has lost TPS, 13E, and can't open the new Canal Digital package, 1W, unlike the Diablo Cam.
Do you have a card programmer or a Cas 3?

 

[AidyB]

No I would send it away to get programed £5. I think I will just get rid of both the card and the box then. As long as I get some football and movies I'm happy.

Also since you experienced lot are in the area.

What are fun cards and benefits? What are rom 11 cards? (seen both on the bay).

kind regards

Could be every couple of months - could be every day! As Mickha says theres no way to tell.

If it needs updated, will I know through channel loss?

Yes - your packages wil go blank.
