Hello everyone,
I'm a CAM newbie, and I'm finding it difficult to build up my knowledge in this area (not many beginners guides about!).
I am planning to connect a Sky dish to my Media Centre PC, using a Technotrend S-15000 Budget PCI card with T.Rex Cam and a legitimate paid-for Sky smartcard.
I'm led to believe that Sky actively discourages users from using their own receivers. What could Sky do to disable my account from working in this configuration? What should I be doing to ensure Sky do not have a problem with me ?
For example, I've read that the older dragon cams have a problem with receiving the sky 'keep-alive' signal, and need to be put back into a Sky digibox from time to time. Is this still an issue?
Are there any other issues I should be aware of while setting up?
thanks and best regards,
Paul
