I have Channel 4 HD running on mine using exactly the same but it will only work in non-FreeSat mode. (beware of losing your schedule listings dependant on the firmware version of your box) You can't "add" a custom channel to the list when in FreeSat mode... (you can't really "add" as such in non-FreeSat mode either. A scan will bring it up) FWIW, the settings for CH 4 HD are: 11798 H 29500 3/4 Colin |

The card works fine in the sky box no problem. Bob |

Cheers Colin for the response, but i'm having no luck I just get the channel scrambled message, for all of the FTV channels. I don't know if the settings are right on the cam or if the cam is reading the card.

Before you go looking for another card, give me 30mins or so to try out Underworld187 because I am now using Horizon104 on my card which I changed to quite a while back because I think I started having problems with Underworld (the last version I used of that was 1.84)

Cheers Colin.
Bob Get hold of Horizon104 (v1.04) and use that instead. It doesn't have the overhead of all the emulators and since you are, like me, just using a bona-fide Sky card anyway, that isn't really a problem. Having reverted my CAM back to H1.04, I am watching CH4HD now. You still may see the odd brief picture breakup/pixcelisation but that seems to be normal for these CAMs since the CPU is quite slow... I still get the odd CAM crash too put a quick pull/re-insert cures that. Main Settings under Configuration: Lang [ENGLISH] Caids File [UK] Auto PMT [OFF] SmartCard Mess. [Show 3 Seconds] Administrator Menu Under CAS, all should be [OFF] except Nagravision which should be [ON] Colin |

I just tried UW187 and as I suspected, I stopped using it because of heavy sporadic pixcelisation during viewing and v1.87 is no exception.

DS user snappysnaps has reported that the new Diablo CAM 2 (yes, different to 2.3), about £105 deliv to UK works with the new white Sky cards so people should be able to get the encrypted channels (Channel 4 HD, Fiver , Five USA and +1s) using one of these on their Humax HDRs and Panasonic Freesat TVs

.I'm interested in adding those channels to to my foxsathdr. Do I just need the cam and a programmer? For my new FSFS card to work do I need anymore special sw? Will it activate without having the constant need to put it back in a sky box? Does the cam need to be programmed often? J |

You can't "add" them (to the existing EPG), you have to use non-Freesat mode instead (which invokes other issues...)Yes
Apart from the software for the CAM, no.You'll always need to put it back in the Sky Box periodically for re-activation. (BIMBW)Not really, although you may see periodic updates for new features etc... |

I understand there are software emulators that can be put onto the cams that allow reception without Sky cards but as its not legal it cannot be talked of here. |
