Unhappy Skystar 2 vs CAM/CI Receivers Channel Access
permalink
Hi all, I'm back after a bout of flu!!!

Simple question (yeah right).

I have the Skystar 2 PCI card which has no CI/CAM slots, using the right software can I access the same number/type of channels as say a set top box which does have CI/CAM?

Thanks very much.

Markie.

Hi Markie
Using a program like ProgDVB and a plugin (S2emu or Yankse) you can emulate most of the stuff currently available with a CI/CAM.

Thanks very much Llew, I now have ProgDVB and both plugins now configured (separately) and will try connecting the dish tonight!

Thanks once again.
