Hi Captain ...
If you know of such a software ...I wouldn't mind flashing one of my 9600's to enigma ..
I have the facility to do this ..as I still have my homebrew BDM unit ..and somewhere in the archives ..a copy of transbox..

Assuming N9600 is the same as DBox2, which I think it is, search for "SS-Enigma V4.0 2x for Dbox2" in Google and it will lead you in the right direction (1st link).

 

[Vipersan]

Done a bit of reading on a few forums ..
The question has been asked before ..
..and the answer is sadly no ..
It must be a Dbox2 ....so looks like Uli's legacy remains intact as the defacto software (plus mods and variations) ..to run on the 9600
That guy must have been something special to conceive the idea in the first place.

Vantage x221ci
amstrad sky hd with 640gb AV hard disc.

I might buy a Vu+ Uno to upgrade my motorised to hd.

I've got 2 Vantage x221 ci, along with 2 Manhattan ST500s, a Manhattan XT-M, a Darkbox SD, 2 Iberosat 4000, 2 Iberosat 4500, and a huge stack of Digiboxes all sitting idle.

I fancy the Uno too but I can't make up my mind, between that and the Ultimo. If I get the Ultimo I could probably swap it over for the Duo without anyone noticing, but if I get the Uno it would be like having a third tuner and I could slot it into the current aerial system via an SPS just to the 1.5m motorised.

Apart from the Pace Sly+ just an elderly Nokia 9600 running DVB2000, lives in the front room and is parked on 19E with a zone 1 for BBC World and a few music channels.

Echostar SR8700 Analogue

Gosh, how could I forget. There's also an Echostar LT8700 sitting in a crdboard box hardly ever used.

It was bought to use in tandem with the Nokia 9800S as there was a mod available so that the 9800 could drive a motorised dish using the 8700's motorising capabilities. It never happened because our dog decided to try jumping behind the TV (!) and dragged the 9800 onto the floor pulling the F socket off the tuner board. And then analogue (specifically D2MAC) faded away and so did interest in the project...

 

[zorbua]

Hi Zorbua ...
paid a similar amount for my first nokia 9600 as your 9200 ...
I remember re-wiring a house for my brother in law ....and using the entire proceeds ..around £600 ...to buy it ..
It was for a very long time ..my pride and joy ..
..and I remember well 99% or platforms being ...ahem!..._open_ at that time..

Yes, I bought the SR8700 a couple of weeks before Echostar introduced the LT8700. The LT version differed in that it had an RS232 port which gave access to interesting projects like you mention. A spectrum analyser mod being another one I believe.

I had the VideoCrypt decoder on board, and I would have liked to have got the D2Mac one too, but it would have meant swopping over the boards too much, as the box was used mostly for family Sky viewing.
