    Default Aurora

    Hi,
    Ive been reading all the info here on the forum and have successfully programmed a new V1.2 card for my dreammax box. Wondering is there a friendly logger out there that can pm me a EMK

    Cheers Dangles

    No EMK necessary, if you have entered everything else Ok just put it in a STB for about an hour & it will update the card & you should have pics,

    Oh, but I don't think you can run a Goldie in the front slot of a Dreambox though...

    Try a strong or humax or Pace STB for example....

    In Dreammax it should be ok though, shouldn't it? From memory they run at a slightly non-standard frequency but I seem to remember they work OK with wafers.

    Of course in the early days of Dreammax DT470 they were popular because of inbuilt Irdeto emulator in hidden screen. I seem to recall it only worked with plain keys though, not HMK. So for Aurora you'd need an original card or a wafer.

    You *do* need to be patient. I typically find it necessary to wait 20-30 minutes for a card to hit up if its PMK is out of date.

    If problems persist then it's possible the Dreamax may be the problem. I've certainly had trouble with some old Irdeto CI modules playing up. Classic behaviour is one of the plain keys will be correct but the other incorrect, resulting in the picture decoding OK for 10-20 seconds, then going blank for a while, then coming back again. Worn-out wafer cards can manifest this problem too, but in my most recent case (involving GhostFun and an Irdeto purple CAM) the card worked fine in other receivers with embedded CAM. So although problems are usually card or key related they can sometimes be due to CAM.

    Anyway, good luck.

    I was recently given a dreamax DT470 as the owner has upgraded.

    The problem I have noticed is that it wont update a wafer once it has missed a key update or has just been programed but if a working wafer is put in it will continue to work and update. Strange!! If you leave the working wafer out until it misses a PK and put it back it wont update but update the wafer in another decoder and put it in the dreamax and it works fine for days.

    Possibly you have a similar problem Dangles
    Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.

    Try using a different firmware. I dont run my Dreamax as much these days. I was using a 'real' select sub in it with no problems. And have ran a Whitey ok (apart from heat)

    There are different version firmwares you can use, cant remeber the exact one I have loaded. DT470XD rings a bell and I also used a Vivo. I've posted these firmwares before. I know there is also a an extensive link I did at vetrun on the topic.

    My problem was i moved house and there was no sat dish at the new house, so the card was not updated for 3 months.
    When i finally got a dish the card worked for a night then nothing, the guy i got it off couldn't help me as he received the cards from someone else again and he has gone awol.
    So i had to buy the kit programmer from Jaycar and assemble it and do lots and lots of reading on this forum and trial and error until i now have a working card.With some help from a forum member.

    Cheers

    Could someone help me out with an updated firmware for my dreamax?
    Every time Aurora rolls out new keys it will not update and now i have manually updated my Goldie with a new PMK i don’t think it will update the plain keys. Still no pics.
    Select sub works still, just problems with aurora.

    That would be dt470TE_vivo. I’ll give it a go.
    I put my card into another box and the plain keys updated ok but the Goldie is cutting in and out, so time for a new card, as well as the firmware change. Hopefully all will be good next time the keys roll out.

    Thanks for your help much appreciated
