Hi All,

This is my first post, I'm really exited about joining the community. (I'm totally newbie)

I just purchased DreamBox DM 800 and I'm ready to buy my subscription. now:

Sky Austria is what is available here, but someone told me that Sky smartCard will NOT work on DreamBox DM 800.

Is that true?

Quenstions:

1- May I use Sky smartcard on my new DreamBox DM 800?

2- May I order subscription from somewhere else other than Austria providers? (I would prefer Spanish/English/Italian Channels)... If not possible I would buy Sky Austria full pack but I need to know is card is compatible with DreamBox)

Thank you for any info

Please give me your suggestion.

If the card isn't compatible using the Dreambox card reader then its probably possible to read it using a device such as Smargo... this is what we use in the UK to read our Sky cards as they are no longer readable using the Dreambox card slot.
