any hope for ma useless Irdeto CAM yet

sat_freak

Folks, i hav this Irdeto CAM P/N 901275....

It is currently bein used with a g/wafer to watch Dutch Canal Digitaal package @ 19.2E.

Not surprisingly, i'd wana watch a lot more than that... Is there any new developments regarding this....Can this CAM be changed inot something more useful...

If it involves simple flashing using a laptop, im up for it....but if it requires to open up the CAM and replace/reprogram surface mount chips, then its out of my league.

Are there any ppl interested in buying/swapping this item??? Or wud do the upgrade/modification for a fee? Wana hear from such nice ppl ... lol

mail me: 06052401@tiscali.co.uk

thanx

Not sure that it can be turned into anything particularly useful, certainly not by using a laptop, as the flash requires removing the chip. You may be able to have it changed to Seca or Viaccess, but that wouldn't give you more than you already have.

What does the screen say when you interrogate it in the receiver ?

If its one of the later designs with Mindport written somewhere on it then theres little that it can do (but then they said that digital signals couldnt be hacked a few years back)

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

When queried thru the receiver menu it says somehting like this:



Irdeto Common Interface Ver: 01.05 Softcell: Ver 2.09(CI) - Demux (SW CA).
Compiled Sep 22 2000


The softcell version 2.09??? - Does it indicate that it already has the FreeCAM 2.09 firmware loaded on it??? I bought this CAM as second user, who knows what the previous owner have been doin with this!!!

If it could be converted to Viaccess, wouldnt it improve things a lil bit? like TPS & Canal Satellite France packages....

Thanx for all the replies...Cheers!

Well the details are those of the 901205, but it is still a Eurocam and is not easily converted. These CAMs will act like a Freecam 2.018 when used in an Echostar with the Echonav software, so it can still be useful. It would probably cost you £30 or so to have it converted to Viaccess.

I have an Irdeto II P/N 901275.
I sent it away about 12 months ago for a 2.020 patch update but had not used it since.
I wanted to sell it recently but discovered that it loaded with the standard Ver: 1.06 Softcell: Ver. 2.09.

I have my dish pointed to Astra 19.2E

What can I do with the Irdeto II CAM?
Are there any programs I can view with it still today?
Does it make sense to have it converted to Viaaccess?
Is there still a market for these old cards?

Thanks,

Kevin
