newbie optus b New Zealand Help (please)

rincewind

I have a telemann skymedia200 card (SkyMedia200.html" target="_blank">http://www.telemann.com/products/SkyMedia200.html)
in my Comp (533mhz intel, 256 mb ram). a 90cm dish looking at optus b from Auckland New Zealand.
I got all the frequencys from Lyngsat.com.
(I also have a telemann sm200dpa/n card (SkyMedia200D.html" target="_blank">http://www.telemann.com/products/SkyMedia200D.html) in the cupboard if needed)
the telemann software works well on the uncrypted chanels (good pics and audio) good lock test,
and ch. scan finds all the stations. but the channels I'm interested in (abc & ch 10 from Australia ) are encoded using irdeto and dvb ??. All I get on them is a blank screen and no audio
I'm not interested in Sky ( crypted in videoguard).
I've downloaded mutlidec and freedvb but neither of them will aknowledge my sat card
I'm pretty green at all this (but trying hard to understand)
Soooo what am i doing wrong
any Ideas
also what do pids and cams do and what is yankse ??????

I think that card is not supported.

http://www.progdvb.com/ has plugin for teleman 300 only.

you could try that plugin and see.

Hi big ted
the patch for sm300 does work for sm200.
like i said it works fine on uncrypted channels (thanks to rust (-: )
my problem is decrypting irdeto 1

Hi rincewind..

I'm in New Zealand too.. Just a quik pointer.. you wont be able to receive Ch 7 9 and 10 off any of the Optus b1 B3 or C3 Sats.. Not with your 90Cm anyway.. If you take a look at lyngsats site you see that those Channels are directed at Aussie and are on the Horizontal pol.. As you'll probably have noticed, no Horizontal Signals are available here in Nz.. Only Verticle signals only..
I have managed myself to lock onto Horizontal Signals off C1 (Foxtel) using a 3M Dish.. even then the signal level was only just over threshold of 40%.
As far as getting keys for those services.. you'll probably find it quite tough. Foxtell/Austar have just gone over to Irdeto 2 and NDS encryption. so that prtty much shuts you down for any decrypting etc.. Aurora however is still using Irdeto 1 and 2.. so you still have the choice of that.. Both Aurora packages are currently available from Optus B3 and C1.. Keys can be found for this service, if you talk to the right person.

Cheers : Hope that helps

If the Telemann software dont use regular plugins then it will not decrypt anything. You are best to buy a different card that will run the right software,and if you dont plan on upgrading the computer too ,then your choice should be a Nexus-S as it seems to run fine on anything I have tried it on.
I recomend MyTheatre 2.76 and MAYBE the newest version of ProgDVB for software. I think MyTheatre 2.76 is the easiest and most stable ever released for DVB cards, I use it and highly recomend it.Plus its FREE !

Hi there hating to sound real dumb and all but im looking for some answers to some qestions...mainly is it actually possible to decode new zealands digital sky? and what sort of price range are we talking and what sort of quality do we get?

oh and is that the big ted i know form gaggles?

Hi there Spawn..

In reply to your question.. No..
At this stage Sky Digital to my knowledge and understanding has not been compromised. If you do a search via pretty much most forrums you will get the general idea that NDS (Sky Digitals Encryption) is currently very secure.
Your best bet would be to Watch Sky Via Tv tuner card off the UHF Service using HVC..

sm200d does work in 98, I have nz channels as it doesn't scan, also using yanksee you can see sbs off c1


rincewind, you still want those channels etc etc

spawn,

I saw something of interest for vide*guard and ir*eto 1 and 2. Take a look at this web site and please keep me inform if you see anything of interest.

I'm moving to Brisbane in a few week and I just bought a Nexus-s DVB card. I'd be please to know if there something out there who would be useful againt Sk*TV and its POD encryption scheme(Video*uard).
