Just to update. I bought a Humax foxsat HDR from the local currys and tried the same excercise. Still no success. The cam and card are smoothly read, but still says scrambled. So it looks like the card is married to the stupid STB...Why the heck they do this...i have no idea. Anyway took the...

thanks...the STB is not letting me do any thing. Also the fortecstar is tempermental in reading the contents of the CAM. I have to take it out and reinsert to read it, whereas the old humax reads it smoothly. is there a loader for pc to edit the cam?

i was wondering if the smart card is married to the decoder.....is it possible with Irdeto?

just to update..i updated the box to latest firmware. It is reading the card now....same info when the manufacturer's box reads it...but still says scrambled :-(

I bought an mpeg4 irdeto cam, put the card in (kappa), but no result...it still says scambled programme:confused::confused::confused:..please help Also the cam is not reading the card, when it is in fortecstar. however the humax is reading it well, but since it is old and mpeg2 there is no use...

no your dreambox wont work as it is only an MPEG2 receiver. You need an MPEG4 receiver with CAM slots. Then you have to get the IRDETO MPEG4 Cam.

thank you Analoguesat. It is transmitted in MPEG4. It was previously transmitted in MPEG2, but they wanted to cram in 6 channels in the package...so progressed to MPEG4 compression. Have to save up £60..

welcome anojan.. i suppose you can record the programmes using a MPEG4 RECEIVER with PVR function like the Fortec star passion HD. However I am not 100% sure if the viewing card would work with an Irdeto MPEG4 cam. It costs about £60 in Ebay. I contacted sellers and they confirm that it works. I...

i was wondering if the official viewing card would work with an MPEG4 Irdeto cam in fortec star? I am keen as i need to use the PVR function. Thanks in advance.

i recently subscribed to sun tv on 11996.00MHz, pol.V FEC:3/4 SR:27500: SID:623 ( PID:4301[MPEG-4]/4311 Tamil - Irdeto 2).). They sent me an STB (with their logo) and an iredeto card. This works well. however when i try to put the card in matrix reloaded cam in fortec star passion + ...

thank you michka. The root of the problem was something down the line. It was just a loose F-Connector feeding the Humax.I must have moved it when i tried to switch the light on. Everything is working great now.

Hello all, please help me. I have two dishes looking at eurobird 9 and astra 28.5. I was using a Diseqc switch to get both into a single receiver. I have humax pvr and fortecstar hd. the latter hooked thru the LNB out of Humax. Everything was working perfectly for the past 1 year, until this...

i bought a fortecstar passion HD +. ITV HD is tuned in, but i get a screen from ITV saying ?ITV HD THIS SERVICE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE Also when i plug in an external USB 2.5'' HDD, it remains on even if the box is left on standby. Is this normal? many thanks in advance!

hello I am planniing to use my existing sky dish to get freesat. However I am using a bigger dish to receive eurobird 9 degrees. I am planning to buy this...

:) thank you Topper and Rolfw. Had to climb two floors, bitterly cold and windy. But receiving loud and clear (Quality 88, strength 58). waiting for a dual LNB for receiving hotbird as well. :):-worship
