My System: Twinhan Sat-CI | Hey Texx Yeah I think it is a little different, but I think it can be soughted out. We work off NDS and Irdet2. I have had some joy with both but am having a few hiccups after a channel change Cheers thesparhawk | ||

My System: Trying to work this out | Right well firstly I am new to all this so please excuse me if I start by asking some stupid questions  1 - What pheonix card readers do you guys use? 2 - I was having a look at this http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite_s2_CI.asp, it has a CI slot for use with a CAM. Will this be compatible out of the box if I get a suitable CAM? If so what sort of CAM should I get? 3 - Any recommendations for the best hardware to get that will allow me to use my sky card in my pc, I dont have Sky HD but may do in the future. Many thanks Festa | ||

My System: TechnoTrend S2-3200 & Budget CI, T-Rex Dragon CAM 4.1, Sky Sports plus Entertainment package. | Well, I got fed up with my pheonix smartcard reader & just went and bought a new card with CI & a T-Rex Dragon CAM! Finally, its working! Although I am still experiencing some problems. For example not all Sky channels are working. dvbviewer says there is a stream and the smartcard says its decoding, however I have no audio or video being displayed. Its particularly the Sky Sports channels that arent working, everything else seems fine so far. | ||

Dont suppose anyone knows where to get a channel list for astra 28.2E BskyB because I cant find all the channels on a scan, worth a crack at connecting if I can get a channel list with the encrypted channels? Many thanks for your help with the serial David, much appreciated. Last edited by Seany463; 30-11-2007 at 12:02 PM. | |||

I had a hauppauge hvr-4000 before, but the CI which came out lately doesnt decrypt DVB-S2 (HD) signals and for the price of it imho, its a joke. It didnt support the T-Rex Dragon CAM either, sigh. I'm sitting on a rather expensive hvr-4000 now. | |||

I believe the programmer is used to load the CAM with the current encryption keys for emulating & decoding your subscription smartcard, amongst other things. Remember not to throw away your sky box, because you need to update the smartcard every so often.  | |||

My System: DVBViewer 2x TTbudgetS3200 with CI, Dragon CAM 2 x Sky Digital Cards |
I use DVBViewer with two Technotrend 3200 cards and two CIs. After about 3 months of running, my cards stopped decrypying any encrypted channels, including Ch4 & Five. I reconnected my sky box and sky plus system and the same applied. I called SKY, who resent my subscription to the cards (one by one) and after that they worked fine. This was about 2 months ago, so I am getting a litttle nervous as I don't know how many times they will do it before they get upset. Does anybody know any more about what happens when you remove your sky card from a sky box? Thanks in advance..... | ||

My System: looking for one | Hello I intend to setup a linux mce machine to do the same as us done it with the sky subscription, apparently this subject looks like that it's forbidden within the linux community, and i would like to ask if it's possible for someone here to create an idiot guide of everything that it's necessary to do, all the hardware that would possible to use and all the cams that i would be aloud to use so i could check for compatible hardware within linux mce and try to make it work there on mythtv machine or a linux mce one!! I've got a legal sky subscription and i don't have any intentions of doing any illegal stuff, i just want to have a linux mce machine working with sky without having the sky box connected! If anyone could help i would really appreciated!! regards | ||
