My System: sky digi box mini dish |
I'm new to sat tv, I see all the time on this forum about software patches, and cams, but haven't much of a clue what it all means, I know a cam is a modul that fits into the front of your receiver and some sort of card fit into it, but thats about it, and I haven't a clue about patches or how you do it or how it all works,, I would appreciate your help | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | A patch is simply modified software that is loaded onto a receiver. It contains keys for some pay tv services embedded into it. A cam is a box of electronics that reads a subscription card. Some of the new ones can have keys loaded into them Note - the number of services available fluctuates every month, and is currently reducing rapidly. You CANNOT get Sky UK on keys or patches. | ||
