I'm looking at getting set up with a Dragon CAM to work with my GermanS*y service, which gets S*y channels and all that. One problem: even after reading Duwgati's tutorials (yes, all of them, it took a few days), I still don't know if I can use a homebrew PVR with my servivce. I got used to having one in the States, and now it looks like I'm screwed.
GermanS*y uses Astra 28.2, so I would assume it uses the same broadcast methods regular S*y uses, but my question is this: can I get a Dragon CAM, slide it in my Technotrend 3200, use my current subscription card and the serial from the S*ybox I own, and expect it to work? I've never had to use CAMs before, as all my stuff in the States was FTA (I've got a HUGE BUD that I've had for years, but there's nowhere for me to put it here, so I'm stuck with pay TV).
You could call me a noob, but I'm pretty well boned up to be dangerous, so I'm not totally off center in intelligence. Just a simple yes or no, with a basic explanation is all I'll need.
GermanS*y deeply frowns on using PVRs unless they're bought from them, and I don't like the idea that I have to **** it just to get what I want, which is my satbox on the home network. Any help on my question would be appreciated.
