There different tuners. Ones cable and ones satellite. You would need to change the tuner first.

This might just work, but you will probably need to desolder your 500c(And to the UK this tuner costs roughly £35)

If you haven't already bought one, why not get a dreambox 500s or an openmedia 500cs which can do both

After extensively researching dreamboxes, I can tell you this, you can't swap the tuner, the mainboard needs to be different as well. Best best is to get a dreambox satellite receiver
