I do apologise there Ratchet, I jumped the gun a bit (perhaps a little wishful thinking on my behalf) and was certainly not trying to undermine your post, I bit not read the first post thoroughly in respect to the “FREE VIEW” line, yes it is possible to use the Diablo for free view plus the basic family package, problems start when you wish to watch the sports/ movies, I know of many that have gone out and spent their hard earned pennies on the t-rex even though they have already bought the Diablo so to be able to use their pvr boxes to record the premium package channels and over come the sky + issues.
I have so far been unable to overcome the original serial number by which the card is married to the original box it was activated in, I do not know of a way to input the box serial in the Diablo software like you can on the Dragon/t-rex, perhaps you may be able to help on this one Ratchet if you have had any success, also thanks for the heads up on the 2.16 version not working on the nds.
Again sorry for the out burst I stand corrected.
