I have today been trying to view FTA channels on 13.0 Satellite. I have been seeing adverts that i need to buy a decorder called TivuSat to be able to view these FTA channels. Is there any way to make this work trough dreambox instead of having to buy a new decoder?

On the occasions that the Rai (and a few other) Channels encrypt for eg Formula 1 & other Premium programming, then you do indeed need to find a way to decrypt. The "proper" way is to use a Tivusat Card/CAM.

But fortunately most of the time the Channels are unencrypted, so I suspect you might have accessed them at an unfortunate moment.

That said, I recall there was a suggestion that when Tivusat decoder population attained a certain level (It was launched a couple of years ago), that FTA might stop. That hasn't yet been substantiated, but I shall go check those Channels for myself right now.

Don't wait up ...........

Nope. All is well.

FTA with no overlay.

Seems to be ok now.. a few minutes ago it was constant advertising of tivusat and some other others on CANALE 5 now seems to be fine.. so would there be a way to decode these tivusat FTA or woudl we need to buy a subscription / original car that work with dreambox?

It's available on keys but I think you can get a dreambox to read a subscription card with a bit of messing about.

You can get a TIVUSat card and cam for about £100 if you know someone in Italy.

No messing about needed either - the cards work fine in a linux box using SCAM 3.57 - the cards initialise and update quite happily in my 7020 in one of the slots. The cam is put away safe for possible future use if the softcams stop working.

Once its initialised then CCCAM will read it, but wont update the entitlements.
