Thanks, Terryl, I should have known that sort of stuff existed.

just search for Servisol grease. I found quite a few sellers on Amazon for under £5 for a decent sized tube. It can sit in the toolbox next to the syringe of thermal paste I bought that will last me a life time and probably be handed down through the generations!

At first I laughed at the idea of rotating the LNB, but then I realised it's a stroke of genius *and* madness. A freesat receiver needs to see the home transponder when tuning it, otherwise it's a brick. I don't know why it won't switch. I have two DVRs connected, neither of them can get their...

thanks.

yes, but I also used tape too, because the installation is in a particularly exposed position.

just to add an anecdote about octal LNBs. I bought a decent Inverto one in February 2011, fitted it about a month later and it failed nearly exactly five years on - all ports are stuck on vertical polarisation! The ports can switch band still. I do wish it had stuck on H, because it means that...

the link on the home page to satellite receiver systems is bust, this is where it takes you: http://www.satellites.co.uksatellite/receivers-system/s/ :-DOH2:-DOH2

Hi BN, thanks for info. which card you running the 6in1, and which sat receiver do you have? Paul

I didn't get any joy with TPS either; I am using freecam 2.019 and a PC running windows card emulator. I didn't try too hard, and got diverted when the maxtor disk in the PC died :-( when I get a chance I'll let you know. Paul

from what I read, the mRev is basically the same as the mRel, except that it's newer because they did a small redesign which means its actually cheaper to make (as someone said, this is probbly the smartcard interface)! so, provded you can get firmware, there's no "upgrade" from one to the other.

the other choice is use seasons/smartcard emulator: satellite receiver -> freecam -> seasons interface ->[serial]-> PC

I had c-n-x at 1W working for a short while, just over a week ago, but then it stopped. I upgraded to WCE121 a few days ago, and got sly at 13e working. wce reports it can see key exchanged with the freecam but none of the channels clear. I am running an echostar ad3000ip. has anyone got a...

I think the way it works, having seen some of the CI/CAM documents, is that the actual encryption algorithm is the same for the commonly used ones , but the method by which the keys are exchanged between the cards and the cams, and the updated keys are passed to the cams, is specific to each...
