    Dragon Cam

    So it appears I'd be wasting my money. There's not much in Nagra and they'll probably be going to more secure encryptions soon. Guss i'll have to stick with the fta channels. Thanks for your help.

    First time software updates

    Thanks Toppervte33h. In general, do software updates(from manufacturers) include all of the features in the latest update, or would you still have to run through each update? I'm sure it's same for the Manhattan. I would have tried them, if just they'd care to ever reply!
