[QUOTE="Razor, post: 50060, member: 175377"] Welcome to the board Dazzer. Lets get started. 1) Is any of my existing kit useful. I presume the dish\LNB combo is still usable. Dish and LNB are fine, as for the rest, the word "bin" springs to mind. 2) Irdeto, viacess etc are encryption methods needing special hardware to decrypt ? CAM ? Are these addons or is this refering to a card ? Yes they are all types of encryption, But multi cams like the MR ,, dragon,, and Magic cams will do most of them. Gone are the days when you had to have a seperate cam for each encryption. Some cams even work without a card. 3) Good reciever to get started ? Cheap as I only have one remaining testicle to which I'm very attached too !! Maybe a list of 2 or 3 would be ok as I appreciate its a tough one to answer. You can pick up a nice second hand box for about £100 to £140, here are some names Humax, Nokia, Echostar, Force, Samsung, Technomate, Topfield. 4) How many channels\encyption systems have been compromised ? Is there a reasonable selection to choose from. A XXX channel where the camera man can manage to get a viewing angle below horizontal would be a bonus. At this time we have a lot of stuff open more channels then you can ever watch and more mature content then ever we had, it is on day and night. 5) Is there still an issue with getting keys on a regular basis like in the D2MAC days. Autoupdating available on any cards\channels ? No ,,files are easy to get just go to Nobbly's section on this site and see the list of sat boards. Some files are AU. As for cams and card..see my post above. [/QUOTE]
