Cheers mgb17, I did what you said with the ?SoftCam.Key? file. I found a ?AutoRoll.Key? file on the Internet and put them both in the /var/keys folder and it seems to have improved matters, slightly! However I read on another thread that I need ROM files. I have no idea what these are or where to get them? Any ideas?

If the keys are valid in your SoftCam.Key the scrambled channels should now working.
The rom files are for autoupdate. Downlad the magic or secrect files for a dbox2 from a forum and replace also your AutoRoll.Key file.

So if I have the correct SoftCam.Key file the channels should work - even if the AutoRoll.Key is incorrect? I only ask because I am only able to view a couple of channels (RTE2, TV3, ...). How can I confirm I have the correct SoftCam.Key file? Thanks for your patience with this, but I just can?t seem to get it to work. Cheers.

The AutoRoll.Key is for autoupdate. If there is no keyroll the file is not needed.
There should be valid keys for N 5E01 00 and N 5E01 01.
Valid keys are here:

S2emu need the same keys for N 5F01.
If you changed anything on the dreambox restart mgcamd via the blue button menue.
There must be also mgcamd selected instead of common interface in the blue button menue.

YES YES YES ? It?s working!!!
To confirm, my DreamBox 600t is picking up around 64 channels and ALL of them are being unscrambled successfully. These include premium sports and movie channels. Fantastic!
Thanks especially to mgd17 for all your expert advice - without it I?d still be stuck with rte and tv3.

Good news,but you should have around 72 tv channels in total plus 8 or 9 radio channels if you are in Cork county.
Try another scan.

Thanks - I?ll give it a go when I get home this evening. Do you know where I could get a list of the channels, so that I can compare? Chorus do not appear to have a definitive list of channels for the area, so I just assumed I had them all.
Would this indicate that the Terrestrial.xml file I have is not complete? I guess an Automatic scan will just find the same channels, but I don't know the settings for a Manual scan!

Jimme, is there any chance you could point me in the direction to get these files, and a quick guide to getting a 500t up and running on Ch0r*s ? I have to set up one of these for a friend this weekend. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi myloyams,
Most, if not all of the files I used were kindly given to me by mgb17. While I?m happy to share, I don?t wish to take credit for the great work mgb17 has been doing on these threads (after all, it must have taken a lot of time and effort to compile this set of magic files!). Also, I don?t know how to share the files without signing up to a file-sharing site which I don?t have time for right at this moment as I?m snowed under in work. With mgb17?s permission I?m sure I could sort something out over the weekend.

Hi'ya Jimme, I know it's mgb that put all the brain power into the ch0rus setup. While I'm familiar with most of the cable boxes, I haven't yet had a dreambox to mess about with, I'm not all that familiar with linux either, Biggest problem has been finding the image that I need, and a terrestrial.xml for it too, I'm sure once I can get the right files that I need, I'll be able to figure it out.
Cheers, Thanks.

I used a freecom dvb-t usb stick. Not sure what type you have ordered but I don?t think it matters as long as the device is compatible with BDA drivers. In my case I didn?t install any of the supplied drivers. Instead I download BDA compatible drivers (Yakumo BDA drivers) which are know to work with my device. You will also need a program like Progdvb. The following forum was very helpful:

Unfortunately, I only got a few channels working and even at that the program kept crashing on me. Thankfully, this was all I required to guarantee that my antenna was picking up a digital signal. If I stuck at it for a while I?m sure I could sort it out, but why bother when my dreambox will arrive in a couple of days!

Thanks for the link MGB17. Had tried to download the driver from here but when i extract them they just appear as a number of sys files rather than a program which allows me to run the dvb-t stick? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

You have to point to the uncrompressed files during the vista driver installation procedure via device manager.

But I have heard that the release of the "TheBox-T" keeps getting put back. We could be waiting for some time!!!
Also, if the "TheBox-T" is yet to be released, how does anyone know if it will unscramble ch0rus and/or ntl MMDS? Does it run the same images/keys as the DreamBox. (I'm a newbie, please excuse the novice Qs). Thanks

Make sure you have chorus mmds cause that box is for mmds chorus only. you can flash the box using dream up with Digital Worldz 2.1 (latest update for autoroll) and that will have evo camd for decoding channels and all the required mmds area scan is on it.
