Hi...I have a Samsung DSR 9500 reciever. I am considering buying a spice platinum viewing card. However, my reciever will not show the spice platinum free view. It is always encrypted with the message
"please insert the smart card". The dealer assures me it is always free view. My reciever say's otherwise (Does not make sense to encrypt a freeview). I had used to see it sometimes but now never.
I have also tried re-scanning the channel with no effect...
From another forum a couple of people have indicated to me that spice does sometimes encrypt their free view.
I have no problem with my reciever as regards seeing any other free views from other channels. In that sense my reciever seems to be fine...
Before I can commit to buying a card i need to know if there is a problem with my reciever which just might make a spice card incompatible with my equipment. Therefore I cannot risk a purchase..
The bottom line is can anyone confirm or otherwise as to if spice platinum is encrypting it's free views for some very strange reason.....
