I think I will need and why I might seem a bit 'noob-ish'.
Thanks for mentioning the LNB though it's given me a solution to my problem, even though I don't fully understand how it works |
Don't worry about it mate. Its just that I have been tripped up a few times
so I try to be as accurate as I can when giving advice to anyone.
I have been known to say I'm out of my depth.....and meant it
No, posters don't waste my time mate. Some of the posts can be rather amusing though. If you're thinking of an HD tv you wouldn't go far
wrong with Samsung [I used to watched a lot of the High Tech Toys & Electronic shows on QVC] and the guy demonstrating them Nick kept going
on about their high contrast ratios or whatever - so they get a good name.
Its took me ages to go scroll through all my posts - to show you some of my replies. As I said I can get out of my depth:

Just to clarify what is going on here. & I know & am happy that you are free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Freesat is constitutionally not willing or able to display subs channels in its EPG. Fine !
I & all others watch Freesat on a STB not made by or owned by Freesat. I think that I actually own my STB.
So what is to stop some enterprising & competent STB maker showing the Freesat EPG together with non-Freesat channels, chosen by the box owner, on their own EPG ?
It might take a little code-breaking, but nothing beyond a team of determined Brits.
Yes, you own the box but not the technical specifications,
which are set out by BBC and ITV.
So it wouldn't be feasible to add the non -Freesat mode
and another EPG.
There's a lot of techies in here that will cover it in depth...
I'm out of mine..
I won't put links here as this is a Freesat forum -
but it is technically possible to build your own STB
open source project.
But this doesn't help you in any way as you want
to combine Freesat EPG with your own EPG/mix of channels
which can't be done I'm afraid. [Technical reasons permit]
Thanks Mike,
No one bothered to contradict you, so it cant be easy & probably impossible.
Does that mean that the HDR's CI module is for use only in non Freesat mode?
Has anyone used it yet?
I'm interested in pay per view soccer, when Sly's monopoly is eventually adjudged to be illegal.
It IS possible for me to be contradicted. I was waiting on someone employed in this field to say I was talking c**p!!!
AFAIK the CI is a dedicated slot for CAMS - how Humax
introduced this feature is beyond me. Its for encryption
as you know.
....the following replies were guys taking about using Dragon cards in the CI slot
so there's much, much, more where this came from, if you wish to go to the forum
