Dongle/dongle

[kerima]

Can someone help me about dongle what is that. I think we can watch some encrypted channels with that. Does onybody know about that.

Re: Dongle/dongle

i use a dongle on mt dreambox to make it wireless, is that what you are asking about

[nush]

it plugs into the network socket at the back of the dreambox, connects your dreambox to the internet via your wireless router.

****** dreambox dongle, loads of picks and sellers

Re: Dongle/dongle

A usb dongle allows your pc/stb to connect to the internet wirelessly.
There are also mobile internet dongles which have a sim inserted in them to allow data/internet usage.

Re: Dongle/dongle

thought i had answered this, so i will try again, ****** "dreambox wifi dongle", loads of info

Re: Dongle/dongle

There is a possibility that "kerima" is enquirying about Sat-dongles(microbox/
avatar/ other brands) because he has mentionned "encrypted channels".

that's what I think also, so @kerima: what exactly do you mean, what do you want to know, and which hardware do you have?? - with some additional info, there might be someone here who can help you ...

-----------------------------------------------------------

you are talking about dongles/encrypted chns from over 6 years ago.
as a member suggested, read on ******, i think your question will be answered there, look at a dongle now as a bridge, for connectivity.

Re: Dongle/dongle

In the asian market the dongle community is more used then the cs thecnology we use here in europe. Here in europe wwe have good speed on internet etc... But in an asian country (most middel east) they can not do cardsharing as we do becouse of problem with internett. So there solution is using dongle thecnology and also using dongle thecnology that can talk to antenna that the telephone carriers uses and get the decrypting prosess from there. In my homeland (kurdistan) they use this thecnology and it works perfect with no frezy etc.... So it might be old for uss who dont use it anymore, but might not be old for those who do use it.

Re: Dongle/dongle

yes duhoki, for what i have read it was ancient gadget plug, via phone line, in certain old boxes, and the old ancient gadget (dongle) was the de-encryption device, subscription thou!

Re: Dongle/dongle

According to my knowledge, Dongles are really popular in the Asian countries. Its used to encrypt channels without the need of internet connection. Most receivers these days have the facility of "Twin Protocol" Thats where the use of a Dongle is handy.
They use the dongle on one satellite to open the channels on another sattelite. For Example they set one dish to 3.0e and the other one to Asiasat5 on 100.5e The encryption system on the dongle (Conax) on 3.0e starts opening the channels in Conax encryption on Asiasat5.
I dont know how does it open them but thats how it is used. All you have to do to update the dongle software every now and then.

Don't you think it would a very useful device if it works on European satellites especially for personal security i.e the no need for internet connection or am I misunderstanding what they are supposed to be doing.

- useful: perhaps or even probably
- more safe: doubt it, as it seems to be working with a telephone line (= confirmation what toby69 said ; also works with licenses/subscribtios), I also doubt speed/connection

Any members with experience with dongles (I suppose, as there's a active thread 'Latest Software For All Dongles')?

Re: Dongle/dongle

My understanding is that this is an old technology used in countries that have unreliable internet or broadband.
Must still be in use though if there are software updates on this forum.

Re: Dongle/dongle

i read that:

1. The satellite dongle operates exactly like an Satellite Internet Card because it is a Satellite receiver and it filters exactly the same packets as the subscribers card (by filtering the correct PID and MAC Address)

2. This Satellite Dongle now is receiving the the CW almost in real time from the Satellite ISP (W3 or W6)

3. The Satellite Dongle is now connected to a cheap receiver via RS-232 port.

4. The STB using a dedicated protocol called Twin Protocol is asking to the Satellite Dongle to provide the CW for the channel that the user is watching in that moment.

5. The smart Satellite Dongle returns to the receiver the Control Word…


This is the simple but working principle on which the Satellite Dongles are based on.

There is a little problem… NDS…

NDS is requesting the CW after 600ms from the ECM and the Satellite uplinking latency is much higher around 2 to 3 sometimes 4 seconds and this will kick out dongles from working on NDS encryption based systems.
