Hello all,
I have a 6in1 patched Humax 5400Z and for the past three years I hace scanned for channels on Hotbird, Telstar12, and Serius2 and have never experienced problems with finding channels (of course following lyngsat's frequenies, symbol rates, etc).
Yesterday, I received an original irdeto card for viewing a package of about 15 channels on Hellas Sat 2. I turned one of my dishes on to this sat, and managed to find a very strong signal (89%). There are only about 30 channels on Hellas Sat, out of which only the 15 I want are encrypted, the rest are FTA. After I scanned (btw I tried manual search, automatic search, and advance search) the sat, my Humax found all the FTA channels, but skipped the 15 encrypted ones! After searching the precise freq, it shows the usual grey box EMPTY, which normally is filled up with the channels it finds. As if they are invisible?!? I press the "save" button, but it then says that there is nothing to save!
The irdeto card that I have is brand new, and is not yet activated. Other people I know that have this package, tell me that I must first download the encrypted channels, then insert my card, and within minutes, it will be automatically activated and the channells will start running. The worse thing is that my friends' receivers are much more simplier, cheaper, and unknown than mine!
Do you guys think that I need to firstly get my card activated and then try to scan for these channels? I can not explain this strange behaviour of my Humi?
Thanks
