For some strange reason, nowhere is information available about how to enter constant control word keys (or DCW keys) in a Humax reciever. Some claim it's even impossible. For your information, these DCW keys are occasionally available for channels like SexView, Redlight, B4U Movies and MCT.

However, it can be done! The trick is to enter these values into the PMC table, using the following format:

channel name,0021,serviceid,caid,Block1,Block2,B lock3,Block4,0000
channel name,0021,serviceid,caid,Block5,Block6,B lock7,Block8,0000

Block=4 digits of the DCW string

For example, you have the DCW string for SexViewDP and it would be:
0B828A160A44A1CD72FE54C43A5FA22A
(fictional example!)

SexViewDP has service-id 14005, which is 36B5 in hex
It uses Irdeto 2, so the caid is 0606

Now this would translate to the following entries in the Humax PCM table

SexViewDP,0021,36B5,0B82,8A16,0A44,A1CD,0000
SexViewDP,0021,36B5,72FE,54C4,3A5F,A22A,0000

Note that every channel uses 2 lines in the table!

I'd say, spread the word. Humax CAN use DCW keys!

How can I enter Constant Control Word Keys in a Strong 8100 with SatTracker 2.1. Thanks.

[olvx]

Same for me. CAID on "CARD+EMU" doesn't work. But "CARD" alone gives me 2 channels (france 2 and france 3).

What is wrong ?

Thanks to all.

Hi could you please modify a PMC table with the way you say it could be done and post the two PMC tables the orignal one and the modified to let me compare and understand the way you did it>

Thanks in advance

Can I use this for HUMAX 5400Z with original soft? Thanks

You can use sharing server Newcamd or Camd3xx
camd3.config,camd3.servers

Your Hummy must be connected to the PC

but NO !!!! on the Net can use camd3.keys

Without the need to connect to the internet - this is not sharing
***********************

Configuration :
Humax setting : card+s+emu
sharing protocol mode : HSIC

Conect with Null-modem Pc<-->Stb
First----> Run HSIC3.00
Turn-On your STB
Second---> Run servers.exeand
wait for a wnile,,,, that's it !!!!!

You can update the keys by overwriting the "Camd3.keys" file.

Conax keys
Nagra keys
Nagra 2 keys
Seca keys
Seca 2 keys
Viaccess keys
Viaccess 2 keys
AES keys
Cryptoworks keys
NDS / Videoguard keys
Constant Control Word

The following method works if you wish to "manually" update the key file yourself.
* put the (Updt.-last)camd3 key on your folder
