MMDS Set-up Complete Beginner

if that doesnt work,go onto the dreambox website and there is a list of resellers.one of them is bound to still stock them

 

it seems to be all 500C's and 500S's out there

the 500T is few and far between.. i think dreambox.co.uk has some T's back in stock.. but they are pricey (compared to what they were selling for on the german sites)

The i'm after ordering a 600T with a 120GB hd for €375 in p&p from a german site

 

just out of curiosity does anyone know if this
will pick up chorus mmds.i have software that can decrypt it.

ebay number 200120880126

if not does anyone know what it will pick up?

 

I dont think that will work,you probably need a pci card ,something like this

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.

 

so if i get one that can use bda driver,it would pick up chorus mmds?would the small aeriel that comes with it be good enough or would you need a mmds big aeriel?

 

BDA drivers, Progdvb, s2emu or yankse/fenrir, ,keys and rom files and you should be in business.
DVBviewer and so on should be also possible.
The delivered aerial is for pure DVB-T and not mmds. You could get the 4 irish channels from the irish DTT trial via that aerial for instance.
Chorus mmds need a working mmds antenna or a working connection to a central mmds mast in the town.

 

what stations could be got in ireland with just the dvb-t aeriel?i just want it for my laptop when i go away.thought it would get mmds,do small sized mmds aeriels like the one included even exist?
Thanks
Dave

 

Mmds is beeing broadcast in the 2.5 Ghz range and must be downconverted. The signal strength need a bigger antenna for mmds.
The irish DTT trial is offered via Three Rock and Clermont Carn. If you are based near enough you can get 4 none scrambled channels via pure dvb-t. The rest of the channels is scrambled and only available for the participants of the trial.

 

i presume the yankse plugin would descramble the other channels?

 

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?

 

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.

 

Thanks for confirmation.
Hope Mgb17 sees this.

 

No problem. Send him a pm he might pick it up quicker that way.

 

Done!

 

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.
