MMDS Set-up Complete Beginner

You have to fine tune the progdvb settings. The default settings doesn't match every pc.
The latest stable version is currently 5.09.2 in the 5.x series. Precondition is installed microsoft netframe.

 

Got V5.11.09 now and its running pretty stabil. Can watch the "free" channels but neither Vpl*g nor S2em* are working (latest k*ys and versions). But I'll keep trying.
Btw. WDM driver was still in the reg although I've installed BDAs from freecom website later. I had to deinstall all of them first and then reinstall the BDAs.
Thanks for your help so far.

 

It looks like valid keys are missing in your softcam.key file.

 

Just to confirm, I got it going.
MGB 17, you were right, t'was the k*ys missing.
I found your earlier link to:
entered the ProviderID and the ke*s (well copy and paste ) into the softcam and here we go.
Cheers again.

 

Hi, Am totally new to this site and not tech minded at all. I live in Castlebar, want to get a dbox of some description that will be just a matter of plugging in and away I go. MMDS NTL is the signal I get.

 

Hi,
I know that Chorus and NTL use different standards (dvb-t vs dvb-c) but will the same downconvertor work for both?
I live in a Chorus area and am interested in playing around with this but don't have a Chorus dish. I do have 2.5Ghz meshes that were used for wifi and a dvb-t tuner card but would need appropriate down convertor and psu.
Any help much appreciated.

 

The downconverter doesn't matter. You have to modify maybe the transponder list for scanning.

 

I am totally confused I have an analog mmds aerial without the downconvertor and I cannot get any on my eurovox TX how do you odify the transponder list for scaning and is this for scanning on the eurovox TX auto scan setting ?

 

It looks like you mixed up power inserter and downconverter.
The downconverter is integrated into the feedarm of the aerial or fitted behind at the mast for very old mmds antennas.
That beast need power and the small black box from chorus deliver that power via the antenna cable.
If you don't own such a box the mmds aerial is not working without power.

 

Is an MMDS aerial necessary, or would an analogue VHF/UHF one do?

 

Do you think UPV/chorus would install a expensive mmds aerial if a simple TV aerial could do the same job?

 

Foisted unnecessary technical equipment on an unsuspected public - it has been done...

But I'll interpret your reply as meaning I do need this specific aerial... thanks.

 

lads,
i have been told that there are 2 different downconverters for
ch***s and n** mmds systems because they transmit their signals at different freq...

222 - 408 MZ
602 - 848 MZ
can someone out there tell me which is for which as im in an n**
mmds area and want to make sure i recieve the correct one....

 

Where can one purchase the 18V Power supply as used with the MMDS antenna. Appreciate any help.

 

Late Sept Leni2000 posted on a Power Supply unit which is :-
12V
200mA
5 to 862MHz
Can anyone confirm that this works with MMDS antenna.
Thanks.

 

Could someone PM me to let me know where an MMDS aerial can be picked up in the South?

 

I need help. Can anybody please advise where I can get a power inverter for a Chorus antenna. I have a Dreambox 500T and the antenna but need a power inverter.

 

Simply buy one with 12v and minimum 200ma.

 

mgb17 Can you please advise make or model and where I can buy one. Thanks.

 

I checked a 12V supply today but with no luck. When we put a meter on the line with 18V it worked. I do not believe 12V supply is sufficent. Any pointer as to wher a 18V unit can be sourced.
