Hi, Just purchased a 2nd hand XSat CDTV 410. Would like to know how to reset all old settings made by previous owner (e.g. Parental Code) back to factory default. Many thanks.

Hi, I currently subscribe to a pay channel encrypetd with Seca2 using a XSAT CDTV 410 supplied by the broadcaster. I would like to swap the XSAT box with something that has a PVR capability and came across this HUMAX PVR 9100 80G. Can anyone please tell me if a combination of the HUMAX...

Thanks for all the replies -- I would not have figured it out myself.

May I ask how the quad-LNB, offset bracket and 4-way switch work together? I am assuming that the above combination allows each of the 4 LNB outputs to receive all available channels from the above satellite groups. If this is the case what is the most appropriate receiver(s) for each room?

The only equipment that I currently have is a XSAT 410 left over from my last house. I am planning a renovation to my new house and therefore has the opportunity to carry out a brand new install. Any suggestions as to the dish, LNBs, receivers and configuration? Thanks in advance

Hi, Is it possible to receive Sky Digital and Astra 19.2E using the same dish? If so if I install a quad LNB does it mean all 4 of them can receive all channels from these 2 satellites? Many thanks

Thanks rolfw I am currently subscribing to TVBS Europe. Dose it mean the current embedded encryption is SECA 2? If this is the case what are the hobbying possibilities? Many thanks

Hi, I have a XSAT CDTV 410 and would like to find out the following: 1) What hobby cards will it take out of the box 2) What hobby cards can it take after software upgrade 3) How to upgrade software or any good links that I can find out more Many thanks

I have a Nokia 9301s provided as part of my TV subscription. The box is second-hand and belongs to me as part of the deal. I have had a search on the internet for information on this model and it seems that this box is normally targeted for the italian market. I do not have any user manual and...

I have a 60cm dish currently pointing to Astra 1G 19.2E and I'm interested in receiving Sky on the same dish as well. Is it at all possible? I live in London.

I am thinking of replacing my vendor supplied decoder (with a fix dish of course). Will this be an overkill ?

Does anyone know what other services can you receive in addition to TVBS with this dish? What additional CAM will you need for these?

Has anyone tried http://www.scan.co.uk ? I built my PC using all their components which are of very good quality.

I understand that subscribers to TVBS are usually sold a receiver along with their subscriptions. Instead can I subscribe simply by paying for their smartcard only and use it via a standard CAM to the CI. If this is possible: Which CAM will this be? Will the motorised system know how to get...
