Nagraedit Dish Programming Guide For Beginners
This guide is designed for beginners, or for those who wish to review the basics of programming d!sh cams (conditional access modules, i.e., nagravision smart cards). In order to program d!sh cams, the proper hardware is essential. You must have:
- An iso7816 compliant smart card reader/programmer (and appropriate power supply) with a 3.68MHz oscillator (nagraedit does not support a 3.57MHz oscillator, don’t even think about it);
- A DB9 straight through serial cable; and,
- Your computer.
Accordingly, this guide will be based upon the nagraedit 1.1 software.
