All the Premiere channels, available on 19.2E, are listed here:
_http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/premiere.html
just remove the underscore at the beginning.
Is Predator 364 listed in your cams menu?
You can add the keys manually by entering the cams menu, entering debug, OhlAladin, and 0501 Premiere.

Hi mickha.

thanks for reply, moved to new prem channel,just checked ,sat menu it says pred 364,went to ohlaladin 0501 and checked all keys against pred,they all match exactly.
but i still have no picture?.
any thoughts,i'm confused,i think 12 months ago when last tried the keys matched but i still could'nt get a picture.

regards mike.

Try deleting all the Premiere channels and re-scanning them.
Which software do you have installed on your Echostar 3000? If you enter the menu, click on the hammer symbol, you should find the About Echostar icon, this should provide the required information, I think it's on the second page.

Hi mickha.

the soft ware on sat is about 2/3 yrs old

found it! esciap900.in user settings.
rescanned astra 2 days ago.
now on hot bird 13 ,multivision should this decode?.

the reciever is an[ ad 3000ip]

Yes the TPS package on 13E, which includes Multivision channels, should open.
_http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/tps.html
This package is currently open on even old cams, as they turned off the extra encryption.
It might be worth updating your receivers software, support for the echostar has ended but you can find all the old software still available:
_http://www.echostareurope.com/support.htm
There are 2 versions of the Echostar 3000, the AD 3000 IP, and the AD 3000 IP Viaccess.
All the software, and instructions are available on the site, all you require is a null modem cable.
One final thought, you don't have any other cam in your receiver do you as the Dragon will not work with any other cam.
Have you tried the cam in the both slots?

Hi mickha.

thanks for reply,
i only had dragon cam in slots and have tried it in both slots.

today i swapped my cam for a freinds, which also had'nt been used for 2yrs approx,
to see if mine would work in his reciever?.
having read what you said yesterday itried his cam on multivision and it works!,but on nothing else i can see,do you know of any others?.
this cam is running pred 218,very old.
i'm a bit afraid to try and update this cam in case i mess it up,
ether my cam is broken or it did'nt program properly.

what do think ?.

regards mike.

Unless the Predasaur 218 file has been modified then it will not have had Digi TV added, and I think it might be too old for Premiere.
If the keys are updated it should open SRG, 13E.
The T-Rex 4.6 supercam can take both Predator and Predasaur files, the other Dragon Cams can only use Predator files.
Both Predator 364 and Predasaur 224 are opening exactly the same channels so it doesn't matter which is loaded.

Hi mickha.

I think i'll wait for my cam to return and try and program it again,may be using an older pred file.or a current one newly downloaded!!.
do you know which was the first one with au on prem?.
I suppose if it works i can update keys manually for other channels?.

regards mike.
