hi Guys

I wonder if you can help me with this issue:

I have taken a working OMNIA plus card and use the DYNAMITE programmer to try to program it. I got a bit confused first with what loader i should use. There are 2 loaders I found here: one version 1.7 with a green "Connect" icon and the other is a red and grey interface v. 2.1
The first one allows me to connect and i see the ATR number but when i hit the UPDATE button i always get this error message "Unable to add canal provider" and the middle screen gets populated with some numbers.
If i use the loader 2.1 it seems that it works fine and at the end it says APPLICATION DOWNLOADED. I disconnect then and i test my card but CANAL SATELLITE channels are not showing but BISS channels on hotbird work fine!

I like to explain in details what i did to try to load the file:

1. The PC has a new Windows XP OS with all updates and the Microsoft.NET framework 3.5
2. Cas studio interface 8.7 was then installed successfully
3. The PC has a serial port and i connected it with the Dynamite programmer using an RS232 cable at COM PORT 1 making sure it's the right port in the control panel.
4. Use the USB cable to connect the dynamite and to be recognised by the CAS interface.
5. Open CAS studio and go to Utilities and set the PHOENIX mode to 3.579Mhz then click on HIDE
6. Open the Omnia loader 1.7, which prompts me to insert the card. I insert the card , chip facing down, then hit Connect, then the loader displays the ATR number
7. I then click on the UPDATE button which is being enabled, but unfortunately the error message comes up stating "Unable to ADD CANAL provider"
Changing the delay to all other combinations, will not make this go away.

I am really stuck here and i tried on a different machine just in case, but still in vain.
I am really out of options here and i hope those who have the same scenario and who managed to solve it, could give me a hand.

Many thanks
