    Hi All.. I really need your help and hopefully other people are having the same issue. I started using my dreambox with ch*r*s mmds about a month ago... Got the codes and everything worked perfectly... Last Thursday Channels started dissappearing on me. I assumed it was because the codes had changed. I went online and found codes with a last roll of 13th of June so I thought these would do. The 00 code was the same but the 01 had changed. I added these to my Softcam.Key file but no luck. I also tried adding them to vplugin within progdvb with my freecom usb stick and still no luck... Have Chorus changed the way they scramble channels or have i the wrong codes??
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try www.satandcable.com

    Go for the AMG-18, downconvertor and power supply

    fyi.. you cant post codes in this forum.
    you might want to edit your post quickly, otherwise the mods might ban you

    Simply enable auto update at your image.
    You need the patched nagrarom files.

    Thanks for your advice mbg17. Where can I find the patched nagra rom files and instructions on how to install for ch**us? does this work with MagicCAMD or do I need to install a different cam?
    I'm generally a patient man but configuring the dreambox has driven me up the walls. Appreciate any help.

    Folks,Can you help me, I based in Galway,I have ajusted MMDS aerial to line of sight with transmitter but at end of scan i'm still getting '' No transponder to scan '' and the % bar for quality is reading between 8-30% when scan is finished.When the scan is running the level bar for the most of the time is at approx 15-20% and the quality bar jumps for 10% to 90% and back to 10% as it scans,should both bars be in the green when scanning ie 80-90% ??? Also I'm worried that the 18 Vdc power supply may not be working correctly ?? How do I check it ?? I tried measuring it with a volt meter by inseting one probe into the head and the other probe to the threaded area but got back reading something like 0.15 vdc.
    Any help would be great !!!

    Galway is N'L mmds and you need a cable box not a t-box.

    mbg17,
    I bought a eurovox maxv and mmds aerial with downconverter plus power supply from cable&sat.Will the maxv pick up the MMDS ?? It works for friends of mine that have N't aerials thats why I want some info on setting the sat&cable aerial like making sure the power supply is working correcly.Do I just do a scan as normal or do I need to pull up the N'l codes by going into lan/press 1968/emm/1968/find ntl 5400/5401/exit/scan.
    Any help would be great

    The downconverter from cable/sat has a different frequency. The standard scan is not working.
    Try a scan at 690 mhz.

    cactikid,
    I'm nearly 100% sure that my box is dvb/c and this works for cable but I also know that it works for n*l mmds aerials,so I guess it's the sat&cable aerial thats differant to N'T,do you know anyone that has setup the sat%cable aerial to pick up N'l mmds????.Sat&cable seem to selling alot of these units into ireland so I guess that they must work.I think i may be able to get my hands on eurovox tx, if so I will let you know now I get on,
    Again if anyone has any info on the setup of these sat&cable aerials please pass it on
    thanks,
    johno
