Which Dragon do you have - the original 4.1, or the newer (and more expensive, obviously) T-Rex 4.5/4.6 supermodule?

If you have the 4.6, reprogramming should work. If the old 4.1, then no.

The Diablo will also open Premiere at the moment. These can be had for £50.

Digital + is open too, as is TPS back on good old Hotbird.

i have the original dragon so booooooooo i think its time to invest in a diablo to what i have been reading

You can still get D+ using your old Dragon, but you have to use Predator 325, and update the file twice a day, and then load it onto your cam, as you can no longer use the debug option.
Personally I would go for the Diablo, it's slower than the Dragon, at opening the channels, but at least you get to see them, and it does have decent support.

New Predator and Predasaur files have been released and D+ and Cabo are working again.
