Hi everyone,
I'd like to know if anyone here knows for sure whether or not Canal Digital Denmark pairs their viewing cards (Conax) to their receivers or not. I currently have a Canal Digital DK receiver and a genuine card with a valid subscription, but unfortunately the receiver provided by Canal Digital is absolutely pants. It is truly awful - regularly fails to turn itself on when programmed in VCR mode, when it does turn itself on it usually fails to set itself to the right channel, its tuner is so poor that the picture starts breaking up if quality goes just below 55%... well, you get the idea, it's absolutely rubbish. It would be lovely to be able to swap it for a Conax compatible receiver, but I read somewhere that the viewing card might be paired to the receiver. Canal Digital Dk says that you have to use their receivers, but I've also read somewhere that the card would work in any Conax Receiver or Cam.
Does anyone know the answer for sure, as I don't feel like investing in a receiver if it turns out that I can't use it afterwards.
Thanks in advance for your help - if you can help, that is
