Hi,
So i bought a Dreambox DM-500S from Dubai, paid for the receiver and the "subscription" that unlocks all showtime, art, and orbit channels for 200$/year (the subscription alone)...
it was working fine, then suddenly, it decides that it doesnt want to unlock the channels anymore... this happened over the span of a week, it was working fine last sunday, and now i can only see free channels... but i'm paying 200$/year for the rest, and they're not working...
i have never owned any kind of satellite receiver before, so i have no idea wat went wrong... is this something that anyone can help me with?

You are part of a card sharing ring. The server you cannect to will have gone down for some reason. You will have to wait for it to come back. This could be days hours or weeks.

These shares are notorious for failing after a few weeks or months when the servers disappear.. If you want guaranteed service then pay for a proper subscription which wont be very expensive in your part of the world.
