Hi!
Im new to the dreambox community so please apologise if my questions are rather silly.
I would like to watch the FTV Channels from Sky - Digital and am planning to buy one of the Fresat cards for 30?.
Is it possible to configure my Dreambox 500s to work with the freesat card? (I don't want to buy the skybox as well)
What do i have to do to achieve this?
Would i have to download one of the "gemini" firmware upgrades?
Thanks for answers!

yes m8 your dreambox can work with any sly card m8. there is various different cams out there like mg_camd,evo camd,new camd but the one to read the card is newcs/ronald1.20 which can be downloaded by the blue button menu in enigma

Hi, excuse my lack of satellite knowledge but if i wanted to replace my old amstrad sky box for a dm500s, would i just be able to put my sky card in (i have a full sky sub) and it will work? I don't need a dragon cam or anything like that, just the software camd?

Are there any other satellite providers on the same astra satellite as sky that i could also pick up with? Again sorry for my lack of knowledge if this is all crap.

is it a sky digital box or old analogue box m8?

if it's a skydigital box then the dish will be pointing at astra2 so it'll work ok and just need the software camd.

even if it's pointing at astra1 (28.5e) it'll still be ok and work just wont recieve sly digital thats all

thanks for clearing that up mate. So i can use my existing legit sly card with current subscribed package + softcam and it'll work?

yes m8 just plug your dreambox into a network and download a emu,CCcam is supposedly the easiest one to use m8

I had trouble using CcCam 1.7.1 for the sky card could only get it to work with 1.7.0 and below . I also found the the new MGCam worked ok
