Enter Keys Manually in Dreambox 500 FTA Receiver

1. Open up Dreambox Control Center, select FTP.

2. Then on left hand side of display double click on var.

3. Then double click on keys, then right click on keylist, and select Edit.

4. Go to the lines which looks like this:
N 0101 01 BXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Key update: 1409-
2005
N 0001 01 BXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Key update: 1409-
2005
where BXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the old key number, and
change it to look like this:

N 0101 00 FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Key update: 07-112005
N 0001 01 FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Key update: 07-112005
where FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the new key number.
Note that the first line also changes from N 0101 01 to N0101 00

5. Then select File, then select Save and Exit.

6. Then exit out of DCC.

Some people say you have to reboot, but within five seconds after I made this change, I had video and audio back.
