Hello Rato,

I am also interested in downloading new software in my silvercrest SL65, but I can't get the thing in upload/download mode. If I follow the instructions from silvercrest (pushing CH+ and CH- at the same time and then swith the silvercrest on, it should enter in the upload/download mode, but nothing happens). How did you do it? I found some soft on the internet, that might open some encripted channels. My cable is working fine.

Greetings,

dkindt

Unfortnately SL 65 is not a true clone of Max S100. Hardware is different. Same processor (ALI M3329) but different using of peripheral processor pin groups. It requires a lot of HW changes to get it running. Additional I have been told that there is a look in the smax firm which prevents running on a different HW even it is absoluteley the same as max HW (comag).

But what do you do if you have a laptop with only USB2 connection?


Well then you can always try a USB to Serial converter

Here's how to patch the SL65.

Please note this is not my work and I make no claim to it!

If you want more info and the files look here:

I take no responsibility for making a brick outta your receiver!

Connect up receiver to PC with null modem cable via RS232, I used laptop with Win98.

Start with receiver switched to FTA channel and load up Upgrade_DVB.exe, browse to and load the SW_SL65_A.bin file. Press next and follow the on screen instructions, it will load into memory then burn to flash and takes about 5 mins.

I then started up the receiver, set the language and scanned Astra. With the receiver still connected as before and still on a FTA channel I started KeyUpdater_04Sept2006.exe, browsed to and loaded the Key28012007.bin file. Press next and follow on screen instructions, loads to memory then burns to flash. When finished thats it but switch the receiver off at the back switch (Power Off) for a few seconds then back on.

To activate/deactivate the cam go to the main menu and press 2580. To get to the key editor go to main menu, down to the Sat icon press enter and scroll down. When using the key editor you change from letters to numbers by using the FAV button.

I found this IMPORTANT INFORMATION about the SilverCrest SL 65. ;)

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvercrest_SL65#Which_Comag_.2F_Silvercrest_Do_I_Have_.3F.3F


In brief, it says that there are different types of processor chips used in this model.

The type of processor used, will determine which type of patch you will need to apply.


To determine what type of processor is in your box - you will NEED to remove the cover and inspect the circuit board.


  • If you use the wrong cable - you will kill your box.
  • If you use the wrong type of patch - you will kill your box.
  • If you attempt to patch a non-patchable model - you will kill it forever.


PLEASE
read the entire page carefully, if you are thinking of patching your SL 65.


I hope this helps to prevent someone from frying their decoder. :)

I'm not sure if my last post was alowed because I included a link, and received an infraction. 'O'-red

But in case it didn't, all I wanted to let you all know is that Wikipedia have some EXCELLANT and VITAL information relating to the Silvercrest SL 65.

Anyone who is considering a software update or patch, should take a look before attempting it. ;)

I hope this helps
