    Hello guys, i thinking about to try use my old DM500 box as a server at my home for the bedrooms. I have once setup a PC server with ubuntu 12.04 that i installed onboard a ship for the crew to watch tv in every cabin. Know i want to try myself some of this. I have a few questions that i would like to ask.


    1. Is there any one firmware better than other for this.
    2. Can i use the smartcard reader in dm500 box to read the canal digital card (thor 0.8°).
    3. Do i use just cccam or is it better to use oscam/cccam.

    just my opinion but for users outside UK i would suggest openPLI on this box.

    Yes no problem there.

    Not 100% on this but due to the sid limit on this provider i think you need to look at using oscam only.
