Hi,

This is my first post, I have been lurking for some time trying to get my sat solution up and running but I think that I have hit a wall, or a defective CAM.

My set up is a Digital Everywhere FireDTV-S2 connected to a Mac using EyeTV.

I have a dish with 3 LNB's pointed at 19˚, 23.5˚ and 28.2˚ (will add another eventually for 13˚) using Disecq switching (EyeTV does not support motors).

All FTA channels work perfectly, however, I would like to get C4 HD and any other channels that the Dragon could open.

I updated the Dragon cam to the latest Predator 3.69 from ^^Compass^^, (He had the funniest profile pic), inserted the CAM in the FireDTV, I can see the Dragon menu in the CI menu, however when I tune to one of the encrypted Five's or Channel 4 HD I get nothing.

I also thought that I should be able to decrypt 'some' other channels on 19.2˚ or 23.5˚ but I can't find any that will open up.

Strangely enough, I have had more success with my softcam Eyetvcamd which is able to open up nearly all the KD channels on 23.5˚ using a softcam.key.

Could someone please tell me if there is some step I am missing? Is there a channel that I could try that for sure should work with the Dragon? Or could it be that I have bought a defective Dragon from eBay?

Thanks
