Yes I am quite willing to sell it on this forum - at least I would not have the over inflated ebay fees to pay. What I am concerned about is the fact that each smartcard has its own unique code number and my details are attached to it. In principle someone could ring up tivusat and retrieve my...

I would like to sell my smarcam tivusat with active smartcard on eb@y because I have just bought a new humax 5600S. My question is this. If I sell my smarcam tivusat with active smartcard, can the person who buys it find out my personnel details like my name, my address and my fiscal code? Or...

Hope this is the correct section! I have had a Technomate 1500CI+ for a few years now and it has worked brilliant. I would like to now go HD and hence I was thinking of buying a Technomate TM-5402 HD. My only problem is this. I have a TIVU sat cam and card (active - operating with Nagra3) to...

Thank you both - I understand now! Hence to receive Sky Italia means having to subscribe to SKY in Italy or pay some of the vast sums of money some UK firms offer?

Why will it be useless in the UK? If I get the SKY Italia HD box with a digital key (married or not?) and point my dish 13oE, the Italian DTT channels will arrive in my Italian SKY box and the key should decrypt them? Hence I should be able to view all the HD channels like Rai, LA7 etc.? Or...

I would like to buy a SKY Italia HD box for the digital free to air Italian channels. I've notice that it comes with a 'SKY digital key'. Is the SKY Italia HD box 'married' to the SKY digital key or can I use any SKY digital key in any SKY Italia HD box (lots for sale on *bay)? Also, if I buy...

OK did the following: 1. I unpluged the receiver and left it for about a minute. 2. Insert the cam in to the receiver. 3. I cleaned the gold chip on the card with a dry cloth and inserted the card with the golden chip upwards (different to the picture stated in the smarcam literature). 4...

Certainly the digital switch in Italy starts in October. How this will effect DST I don't know. Certainly Mediaset are advertising (at c.a. midnight!) that you need a Tivusat STB in order to view their channels. What will happen is still unclear, but better safe than sorry.

Could anyone tell me if the TIVUsat smarcam works in the techomate 1500CI receiver? This is the receiver I have and I have read on some websites that this cam works in technomates. Hence I recently bought a Tivusat smarcam since I watch a lot of Italian TV and the big Italian digital change...

Some advice please guys. I currently using a 90cm dish which I've had for my years in is now in bad repair. It points 13oE and i have a monoblock 0.3dB on it. I need a new dish. I have seen the Triax TD78 and TD88 as well as the Orbital 80cm. Which one would you recommend for my set-up? Is...

I hope this is the correct place. I've had for many years now my TM1500CI but I'm now looking to buy a new receiver. I would like an HD receiver, with a CI slot and one that works well with the TIVU nagravision cam. The cheaper the better. I thought about the TM6800HD or maybe the spiderbox...

Thanks for that danit. Yes this does sound like the best option, but the only thing is which is an HD STB which will work with the Tivusat CAM???

Thanks for your reply danit. So basically if I go to Italy this summer (as I'm doing!) and go to an Auchan or trony and buy the stb with card, I can come back to the UK and activate the card using the site you quote - just using my codice fiscale and the number on the smart card - is this...

Certainly have! It would be nice if a big list of working receivers could be obtained!

I'm looking to buy a TIVU cam or STB to keep receiving my Italian TV. However I'm still unsure about how I can activate the smartcard. I worked in Italy for several years and hence I have my own codice fiscale. I have my old Italian address where I used to live but I don't obviously live...
