The irish DTT trial is using conax version cas7 and that system is not hacked.
You can get only the none scrambled channels from the irish DTT trial.

Hi , I have a dreambox 500s so kinda familiar with the images etc. Thinking of buying a 500T for use with m*mds with ch**us. Just wondering if the 500t uses the same image as the 500c?

A usb dvb-t stick should be working if the manufacturer offer BDA drivers for progdvb.
BDA drivers are available for the freecom dvb-t stick for instance.


I got an MMDS aerial last week, put it on a pole and was able to pick up the analogue channels. Then I got bold and hooked up my DVB-T (Freeview) box Goodmans GDB3 and with that I can receive all the digital channels. Most of them are scrambled, of course.
I also have a SS2 satcard and I'm using ProgDVB for years. So, if I was gonna get me a DVB-T USBstick with working BDA driver would I be able to see more?
Is this a good one?

And finally, are CH*rus using Nagra?
Hope someone can enlighten me on the terrestrial stuff, so far I was "satellite only" ;)

Sorry Rory all I can answer is yes C***** are using Nagra. Mgb17 is the guy you need to ask on the rest of your query.

The freecom stick should work but you have to check it by yourself.
The risk is not so high for a 22 euro device.

Can anyone confirm if the Starview 2 works effectively with Chorus MMDS now (Firmware v4.5) ?
Is it a viable alternative to the DM500T.

Short anwser is it has solved the autoroll process for C***** MMDS. So yes it is effective. There is a new version of "The Box" to be released in five weeks time purely for C***** MMDS. But if you have "The Box" with 4.5 on board I dont see the reasom for purchasing this.

You need a box with a dvb-t tuner for chorus mmds.

So only the forthcoming Starview box will be suitable ?
The Starview 2 is only compatible with Chorus cable I take it so.

Fano apologies for the earlier misleading answer. Yes it is comptabile with true cable on C*****. The MMDS version of this box will be out in five weeks, which will have a DVB-T tuner.

Quick question about these starview2 boxes.
Will they need codes constantly like the original starview.
I have lots of friends who have them and need codes every couple of days.
Are the starview 2 and dreambox 500t the only boxes that will work on Chorus MMDS?
Cheers.

You need a device with dvb-t tuner for chorus mmds.
Dream 500-t, dream 600 with dvb-t tuner, dream 7025 with dvb-t tuner or dvb-t usb stick with bda drivers.
The anounced starview for dvb-t nobody ever saw till yet.

The black box is the power inserter for the downconverter at the aerial.
The device should have 12v to 18v 200ma.
