My manual on how to update an Alphacrypt cam with DVB-C - Page 3

doornjoostje · 2008-05-28, 16:22

Just wasted another free day, trying......
Never the less 3.15 is out!

But, what goes wrong:
If I use the Alphacrypt cam in and install AlphaCryptUpdate3_15_Classic driver manually, I get the exclamation mark (!).

Then when I install the xp_pcmcia_patch for the pcmcia card reader and reboot, all looks OK (at least the new drivers are installed for the PCMCIA card reader). But when i install the Alphacrypt cam it is not recognized.

I also don't know anybody with satellite TV, too bad.

Yes, the update requirements really suck. I spent so much time (I tried 5 different OS'), without succeeding in the end. I don't understand why they use 16-bit modules... it's so outdated. I had a co-worker update my CAM with his DVB-S receiver but my Software still shows the old version but I don't want to send it to MASCOM either. Maybe the only way left is to look for local shops who are able to update it. (I haven't forgotten you, limpwhizkid... but I don't think it makes a difference driving 50km or paying 10€ for a local store to update it (if I find one

)).

Have fun :-) I'm going to migrate to DVB-S soon, so no worries about ******* Alphacrypt modules anymore ;-).
