Canal+ card and Dreambox?

[Miklos]

Is this possible?

I'm considering buying a Canal+ card (denmark) but the salesman tells me that they've started pairing the cards with the recievers that go with the card so I cant use any other reciever?

I dont want to buy a Canal+ card if I cant use my Dreambox with it.

I use a dreambox with a paid subscription, (DreamBox 7000)
and if I had to use one of thier boxes, I would not have a subscription.

Is that a newer card (after may this year)?

(And what is your emu setup to use it)

Miklos: buy and try and let us all know

If the card starts with 01147...... then it is a "paircard" all other cards are not paired to any reciever, as simple as that.

They only use paired car to their own recivers yet, so if you can find a reciever like Samsung 9500AZ and get the serial from it, you could by a card that would work for your dreambox, without problems.

Further you get a 30 day return, if you take the offer including their reciever, so if it dont work out, you can return the whole package to them without costs.

Hello..

I have a ViaSat card. This should only work with ViaSat receivers, but I managed to get it working on my Dreambox 7000.

Here is how:

In a file called cardserv.cfg i added this line:
BOXID = 0120053671

This should emulate the box-id from the original receiver.. And then the paired card should work..

I'm sure you can find more info on this here somewhere :-)

Best regards,

Hello, everybody?

I'm considering buying a dreambox.
Before the action, I would like to know more about dreambox.
- Can I use dreambox as a server and another brand box as a client for cardsharing?
- Can my dreambox be a client for others' dreambox and can I watch pay tv without card thanks to cardsharing?
- If it is possible, can I watch pay tv without a card only during others' dreambox is running?

Your information could help me a lot.
I'm just a beginner of dreambox....^^

My setup is working fine - I'll post a run down once I get cardsharing to work with my DM500.

And yea I asked for a card for a Samsung I had a long time ago
