Got a Dreambox 500s sat receiver in the motorhome which is fine if you want to watch BBC1 and some strange German channels  :blush:  :blush:

I know these can be reflashed to receive "other" satellites but all the information seems to be in technosattalk which I just can't get my head around.

So has anyone done this or knows a man who can?

There are 2 types of card.  Theres the PCMCIA cards which allow you to decrypt different formats, and the credit card style ones which then decrypt the pay channels in that format.  So if you want to watch Eurosport, you need the PCMCIA card for the decryption they use, and a subscription card (credit card type) from them that you have paid for.

Sky boxes and some others have the PCMCIA card built in, so you only need the subscription card.
