Foxtel / Austar Viewers Choice - Satellite - DM500

[joludaggs]

Hi all,
i'm new to this website, and don't know a lot about these satellites and how everything works.
i have a dreambox 500, and want to know how i can receive the viewers choice channels from foxtel/austar. i have done some research, and i have found on my box the SPA, SPH, SPM and AUSA channels which i believe to be viewers choice. However, SPA, and AUSA are identical, and SPM is the matrix with the 4 selections, so how can i select from 5 premier league soccer matches at once, with only 2 channels (SPA, SPH). what can i do? is it possible to have 4 viewers choice channels on the satellite, plus the main match on fox sports.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Jolu

You need to use Mgcamd or Evocam to get this to work. Check out this thread for more detail.

what exactly is evocamd or mgcamd?

can it be done just on the box or do i need to use a computer and download programs etc..

And is there something I can do just from the box to get these channels??

i have figured out on the box to change and add manual channels, inputing video PID, audio PID, PCR PID, ONID, TSID, SERVICE ID and Text ID. Which exact values do i need to put in for the viewers choice channels?

anyone??

I actually cheat now and just use the SPM screen, then zoom in to the corner I want and select that channels audio.

It's not a fantastic picture but does allow me to blow them up to full size.

Do u know how to manually set the PID's because I want a good picture quality
