Hi all,

Is there a receiver available that is capable of decoding BISS-E feeds?

I have been given a 16 digit key (legally) but unsure if my box will be able to support it. My receiver is a Freesat V7 Max (but I also have a VU+Zero at hand)

Are either of the two capable of decoding the feed with my key?

Thanks

I just wasn't sure if BISS-E feeds could be seen by commercial receivers. It's a 16 digit key but I think the Freesat V7 only allows 12 digits. It does allow softcam.key files though

The 7th, 8th, 15th and 16th characters are check characters only, they are not part of the actual key. The key is the 12 characters from characters 1 to 6 and characters 9 to 14.
