    Default DM 500S and Austar

    Hi all,
    It's been a long time since I've posted on these boards as I really never got back into sat when it all moved to IR2. Anyway I'm thinking of getting back into it for a play again as I remember the feeling of accomplishment when I got my first Gold card cloned. Thanks mainly to the information I found on these boards.

    Anyway lets cut to the chase.
    Im interested in the dreambox 500s CS capability and have read that the new Zeta cards for Austar won't work with 500s due to the marying of the cards. Now the question to ask next is do any other dreamboxes work with the new cards? and secondly what about if the card was activated in a DM500?
    Thirdly: can the DM500s work with Zeta cards via a PC CS server?

    Last thing I want to do is buy a couple DM500s to find out they may be useless.

    With 1080i transmissions coming you may want to sit and wait a bit.

    I wouldn't be buying one right now.

    I'm not overly fussed in having a DM500 to learn on for a start as they are not overly expensive. I just don't want to fork out the money if it is going to be completely useless to me because of what may not even be possible.

    1080i transmissions look like being 4 channels in 6 months time
    and the full range might be 12 months or more later.
    plenty of time for learning and playin ...
