[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 4631, member: 174998"] [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-Feb-01 AT 08:27 PM (GMT)[/font][p]Most of the stuff you probably have in mind is actually transmitted at Astra1 (19.2east). There you find the German "Premiere-World" package which includes Cinedom, Superdom/Kick etc. This and an ATV (Austrian TV) package (which include BBC-Prime) are encrypted in a special variant of Irdeto, called Betacrypt. So to receive them, you need a betacrypt decoder. The German/Austrian receivers include betacrypt in the form of an embedded module. The Humax you mention has a similar embedded module, but it is not a Betacrypt version - it is a standard Irdeto version. A firmware patch is available for the Humax which effectively turns the decoder into a module capable of both Irdeto and betacrypt decryption - a so-called "AllCAM". But that still requires a card. Thre *is* a version of AllCAM which does not require a card - and that is called the FreeCAM. Unfortunately the FreeCAm firmware can only be loaded into a CI CAM (the loose, swappable modules), not an embedded CAM. What's more, only the first series of Irdeto CI CAMs can be reprogrammed at all - the most recent versions can not (yet). And the older versions are now scarse and very expensive. Hope this helps you make an informed choice. 2old [/QUOTE]
