Hi,
I ordered a Sky italy subscription card (mondo+cinema) online.
I want to use it on a Dreambox DM 8000.
How could I set up the box to view the package?

I searched around and learned that the internal readers will fry the card.
so could it be used with a CI cam? or is it not possible?
Is it better to use a smargo card reader?
Do the card need to be in the official decoder for updates?

Please be patient with this newbie :-respekt

I believe that they do work, but you have to use newcs as a card server, the same as with the new white card in the UK. Try to google around with "sky italia newcs" and I'm sure it'll turn up some useful links.

I understand that cccam2.1/newcs will reduce the voltage of the internal card readers to that of the card. but is it safe on the long run?
Maybe it is better to get a smargo to protect the "investment" .

What about the updates? can it happen without the official box?
