Diablo CAM and Sky card???

niknek

I have both a Sky+ box (and card) and also a FoxSat-HDR box. I have read somewhere that a Diablo CAM will allow the FoxSat to read the Sky card, is this true? I want to use the FoxSat in my motorhome and still be able to watch Sky Sports and use my Setanta subscription.

It could read the old cards, but could not interpret the stay alive signal.
If you only want a Cam to read a Sky card, then the Dragon Cam can also do this, but again there isn't any information available yet on the new sky cards.

I am in a similar situation. It would just be useful occasionally to be able to put the Sky card in the Foxsat. It will be kept alive as it will generally live in the Sky box.

I understand it can be done (for the moment at least). However, I cannot get the cam to open the subscription channels at all. I have a 2.3 cam running Underworld 173 now. Perhaps I should format the cam or do I have to do something like "update the keys file"?

Thanks.

If you are new to using a Cam you need to insert the card with the chip facing upwards, the opposite way to how you insert it into your Sky receiver.

Hi,

Have tried that but it still doesn't work. How long does the cam have to stay in the Foxsat? Does it have to stay on a non freesat channel or can we continue viewing other stuff? I think I might format the cam as I've tried a wide variety of old stealth and underworld files trying to get this to work.

Thanks.
