I'm thinking of setting up a motorised system for my Dad and I was wondering what is best, a patched receiver or a CI receiver with a cam? Basically what I want to get is Hispasat. Now every month as you know you have to change the cas key for Hispa (Cabo), how does that work with a patched receiver? I've only ever tried cams so I don't know anything about updating a receiver. I've seen patched receivers on ebay with the cable included, but how often do they need to be updated and is it easy? Should I just go for the cam option? My Dad knows nothing about the satellite world, so it would be left to me to sort out and I can just about get my head around a cam.
