    hi all I am trying to set up my new box, I have loaded the software on for the cable part all thou I aint scanned for any channels yet. but I am have a bit of trouble with the sat part.

    firstly is there another firmware I have to load on to receive channels ??

    which is the easiest frequency to pick up as I am new to the sat part ??

    is there a list available so u know which channels are on each frequency e.g hotbird astra etc

    will the channels be scrambled ? is cardsharing the way to go ??

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    thanx in advance

    you will only get FTA chans on the sat, google lyngsat for a list of whats on the the astra sat, if your dish is pointed at 28.2 you will get a good selection, you will need to connect the box via the lan to "open" more chans, but this is Card share and its not openly or allowed to discuss here

    Secondly, the cable part of this box will be cecome redundant very soon with the advent of Nagra 3, have a look at the Nagra 3 thread for what areas are gone and going,

    But google is your best best for c share and what you need to load and how to load
