Hi. I keep losing bids for these on ebay and at one time they were a dime a dozen but now they are hard to come by ( i figure people feel the low returns are not worth the effort) Anyway anyone who has an old worldspace receiver lying around please PM me. Im interested particularly in the...

Actually the tbs3102 has a built in USB->serial interface. The computer sees it as a com port when plugged in. so it should work with NDSCam. I havent tried it though I have just bought it. My question is how do i know which settings to use? NDSCam asks for pheonix reader, but do I use 3.3v or...

The best thing to do would be to give NDSCam a try. google "NDSCam 0.0.0.7 download" and download it. There is a simple readme which is quite straightforward. NDSCam claims to be working with Astro cards. Its tested on Skystar HD so Skystar HD2 shoudnt be a problem. Use DVBviewer together with...

Astro uses NDS version 09ac...there are people who have gotten it working on some softcams like OSCam but mainly for linux. Havent come across anything suitable for windows yet. I myself would love to use astro b.yond with my HTPC running 7MC. any luck with using CAS3+ NDSCam has not been...

Ok. I found out that my LNB is the old type (1st gen astro) whoch is not universal. Setting the local oscillator to the right frequency gave the correct signal reading, and I can see all the channels, but obviously when I try to watch them they are encrypted. Any help with the serial number thing?

im trying to get my dragon cam with predator 3.69 to work. The cam detects my gold smart card correctly but the problem is that Astro Box serial numbers are S followed by a 13 digit number. Dragon Cam only allows for 10 digits in the NDS Serial setting :S any ideas?

Hi I just got a dragon cam with predator 3.69 for my humax hdci-2000. Im trying to set it up for astro. i inserted my smartcard and i know that i need to set the cam to the serial number of my astro decoder. I assume its the option under settings called 'NDS box serial' the problem is that it...
