Plaza xt-cm

[Drlawgr]

Dear friends,
new to the forum, and still trying to figure things out...

Had a PCI Hauppauge DVB-S car in my PC, but had no CI... was able to see only the free-to-air channels...

As I needed a box to decode without having the PC on I just bought, a few hours ago model Plaza XT-CM...

Your comments on it would be appreciated...

I also saw some updates, etc... how do I update it... and what updates are those please? does it have to do with firmware?
Also, how do I check my machine's firmware???

Waiting for your comments.

Thanks.

First you need to upload the latest patch [instructions how to are attached ]. If you have a disecq motor upload the latest channel list with the stb editor tool and then upload the latest softcam file with the keyeditor. Both tools are posted here :

Good luck

Thanks a lot for the info my friend... to tell you the truth it all sounds like "chinese" to me

I downloaded the file you posted with the PDF file... I guess I first need to buy the appropriate cable, which I do not currently have, Monday first thing in the morning! Then I'll take it from there...

As for the Disecq, yes I do have one since I have 2 LNB's... one for Astra and one for Hotbird... when I setup my box, it gave me a diagram, and the only one that had 2 outputs was the "Mini Disecq"... everything works fine...

So, let me get the cable, and I will have new questions starting on Monday!

Thanks a lot my friend!

just figure out what STB is it's the box i bought, right?

first step is done I guess!

lol

[Drlawgr]

just scrolled down to the PDF file to the point of "Editing Keys"....

What is that exactly? is it for the scramble channels? does it affect the free-to-air ones?

and since I may mess up the whole thing, can my machine be destroyed if I make any mistakes?

Thanks

So the first thing I have to run is the STB editor?

and then the "Key editor"?

[Drlawgr]

and let's take it step by step...
first with the STB (my machine as I have understood it) editor...

What exactly does that do? I will edit what exactly, and in order to be able to do what exactly???
