Hi there, my old folks have recently got a satellite system so they can get the french tv channels among others. We've got an Echostar 3600IP Viaaccess receiver set up on a motorised dish and everything's working nice, apart from a lot of channels being encrypted.
I'm very interested in unlocking the TPS channels on HOTBIRD and a few others (films and footy on THOR).. some mature content wouldn't go amiss either!
I've been asking around and have been told that I need (and I quote):
"a matrix cam with version Matrix Reloaded 1.070, this opens up tps and multivision on hotbird as it has gone back to viaccess 1 .To get films and footie on 1w thor you will need an m2 card and a pheonix programmer. Try unapit hes the cheapest".
Here's my questions:
-For my receiver what's the best card/cam i should get to unlock the channels I want? How much would I be looking to pay (I'm in UK)?
-Do I need only need a MRV with 2.14 firmware, or will I need to program a card and put it in?
-Would I need a phoenix infinity usb programmer, or can I use the MR Cam to program cards.
-What card should I get (I hear MR uses fun cards, so should I get a fun card 6 (which has the biggest size)?
-Will plugging in a programmed card/cam in my receiver automatically de-scramble these channels?
Also, i've read that on some receivers you can enter encryption keys directly into the CAM setup menu - so you don't need cards?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
