hi
ive just got my self a showtime card thats not been activated how do you do this please thanks
 
You arent going to get Showtime on a 1.2m dish in Staffordshire... :D
 
sorry ive just updated my profile had a 1.8 precision fitted getting all verticals at 70% but no H sorry about that
 
Id have said nearer 2.4m for the 7W horizontals in Staffs - especially if you are in the northern part of the county (know it well - Im a Cannock lad!)
 
ive been told it has to go in one of these before it will work viaccess 3 mpeg4 cam is that right

Showtime is encrypted in Irdeto, last time I checked.
Take a good look at your card (both sides) and see if there is any engraving or printing to show encryption system used.
I would say that you will need an Irdeto CAM, leave on one of the Showtime channels for a while until it gets it's activation.
If this doesn't help, then shutdown the receiver, pull the power plug out, insert Irdeto CAM with the smartcard having chip facing up, power the receiver and see what happens.
 
thanks i ve got a viaccess 3 mpeg4 cam coming tomorrow thats what i was told from shop i bought the card from will that work or do i need an Irdeto cam thanks for your help

Send the cam back - you need an Irdeto one.

Not that it really matters - with no H polarity signals you cant watch Showtime anyway.
 
ok thanks i only want to watch the v any way for showtime comedy and and extreme cheers ill ring them in morning
 
Blimey - you are the first person Ive known who doesnt want the sports or movies channels on the H polarity!:-rofl2
