Hello,
I'm planning to buy 2 vdr cards Sat and Cable and make a linux box using softcam. I've been reading all over the net but it is time for me to ask several questions.
I/ If I buy a GeoSat G3 Dish with 3 LNBs it means I will get all the packages from those satellites and all the pay-per-view channels in it?:
ASTRA 28.2°Est:
Sky Digital
ASTRA 19.2°Est:
Digital + (Spanish Taquila MediaGuard)Premiere
CanalSatellite France
HOTBIRD 13°Est:
TPS
SkyItalia
ABSAT
Arabesque
II/ Will Softcam be able to work on all those packages correctly? I know Dreambox is also a linux box but can it do the same exact job in terms of softcaming?
[I know TPS is not working anymore since it uses Viacess2 but what about the rest of them]
II/ With a single Diseq card and a mutliple LNBs I can get them all if the card is Diseq too? Also I have read that DVB card needs 0.3 db LNBs instead of the usual 0.5-0.8 db LNBs Is it correct? Is a
III/ I want to get the cable in Paris. It uses TPS***. I have found some hex files for Gold, silver and MR cards. Can these hex files be converted into softcam? Is it compatible or those hex files are exclusively specific to a card?
I have found a fun card to sfotcam converter but no goldcard to softcam. Any links?
IV/ From what I have read it seems vdr + sc using a Premium Card takes advantages of the card power to decypher. On the contrary, a budget card does softcam in a more complex manner. Is this correct? Premium is the way to go for softcam?
V/ Is a MatrixCAM and the corresponding card (Matrix Card I guess) be able to replacer vdr +softcam to do all of the above packages? Are hex for such CAM and cards updated more regularly then a software equivalent?
VI/ Do you think that if I'm able to make this work by girlfriend will quit me? ;p
Thanks a lot,
niooi
