i got the card setup using TT-Media Centre, all the FTA stuff working SD and HD. now i have a CI card that came with the tt-s3200 but it didnt come with the cable to conenct them both together, is it just a standard ide cable or a special cable?

now i heard some more that i dont need a cam and can use software cams or something?

i couldnt get anything going with dvb viewer not sure why, gonan have another mess around with it.

but the tt-media centre works fine and records ok aswell to a ts file. just need to get my hd subs working on it now

I just got a S2-3200 with a T-Rex CAM last week and have just set it up to receive s*y. Sure you`ll need a CAM if you want to watch s*y as you have to put the s*y card in the CAM to watch s*y on your pc, although im no expert on this, im sure someone here will confirm that. You`ll also need a cas interface to load the firmware into the CAM. Ive only just got into this as well, you`ll need to do a bit of reading up but its fairly easy to do once you know what your doing!

cheers,

Lee

My System: Nothing that works

Well there are a lot of things that flat dont work with Vista 64. One of them being media center integration. I settled on DVB viewer which is an excellent product even with the $20 pricetag. I also have a TT 3200 with CAM and CI. No issues with DVBviewer which is more than I can say with some other products. It works nicely with the MCE remote and reciever even in Vista 64 with the appropriate plugin available during install. The remote that came with the 3200 won't work with vista 64 as of yet

I am planning a move to Sky with the same setup so any info on the CAM that you wind up with would be helpful.

For the basic package, and FTV channels, you do not need to do anything, apart from insert your subscription card chip facing upwards, and tune in the channels on your receiver.
For the premium channels you need to enter the serial number of the original s*y box the card is paired to.
You also require loading a predator file containing the S*y CAID, which most do.

It shouldnt need it for that, my CAM didnt even need the serial of the box for S*y One. Premium channels are things like, sports, movies & adult... etc, I believe

The question is - keep-alives....IMO they don't work. So after x weeks, the card dies and has to go back into *something* to bring it back to live - that something is a Sky box or a Dreambox running newcamd emu.
how does the activation with a dreambox work? Can anyone confirm that i can activate a s*y hd card via dreambox?

I would be interested in this info as well. Can anyone speak of the relative merits of the DragonCAM vs any other like T-Rex? Are they essentially comparable?
