Quote from cazuela

Their url which is down s registered on godaddy ..

... this was their first mistake lol

Yep thats ones down check url and does not exsit

I tested this and most things are ok but the sports HD dont work they are basically just very poor quality web streams

Thanks for your help Paul , but I installed kodi on my the PC I have attached to my TV and within a 20 mins I had lots of channels playing in HD that I normally wouldn't be able to view. I think I'll return the receiver and upgrade the PC. you can add a sat tuner to Kodi and PVR functions and reading in the recommended hardware part of the forums it looks like kodi is used but hundreds of thousands of people and will probably will be easier to find answers to.

im sure its the same as a alien2 spark7162 to anything that works on the A2 should work on the icecrypt

Thanks Im going to try an image to see, dont know which one lol but I'm going to at least try and get IPTV to start with

In all honesty the Icecrypt's are a bit of a joke well at least this one is, I have tried booting it to E2 using the 3700 walkthrough.. that didn't work, I'm still waiting from last week from an email I sent the customers service dpt on how to boot into E2 still not heard from them and the manual just says based on Linux lol So its defiantly going back to CPC tomorrow and I'll find a box with a good track record and plenty of support.

Why would you want to bin the card ?

Hi Master G , I cant see what use it will be without a subscription? Unless if I decide to go down a paid route I would need to use it for that. I haven't even looked at that side of things yet :(

Well I would just like to thank everyone who has helped with my questions. I think this is getting beyond my skills and for obvious reasons I can’t ask the questions to get where I want and for obvious reasons the questions couldn’t be answered anyway. I can get my money back for the receiver its potential is wasted just for Freeview. Maybe when my finances are in a better position I could get a cheap sly subscription. But it’s been very interesting anyway and I have learned a lot about the way encryption and receivers work. Suppose what I need really is someone locally who knows what they are doing to sit down and help me. Maybe I’ll meet that person on the way.. u never know lol.
Thanks again.

You are a star ABARKIE, that makes it perfectly clear, like I said I'm a noob lol so bin the sly card ?

Got it ! So if i share with.. lets call them Mr X and Mr Y one of us has a subscription we all pay a 3rd and share the subscribed card ? Because that's what I was thinking, sorry I was being to specific about the what I had and what I intend to do with the equipment.

No there wont be a subscription for the red card or any of the sly products, I will sell the sky boxe's for my mum and get a free view PVR with the cash for her.

Do I have to buy a subscription?

Thanks for the reply cymbal I think I'll test them see how they sound, the box puts out Dolby digital SPIF might be better and reading up on it I think RCA would only produce stereo, but not totally sure.

Thanks for the reply master G I'll check , I know he got a free upgrade to the top box and I'm sure it had a new card just before Christmas. I'll post here when I know.

Yep one of the cards is a red one :) Its attached to the new box at my mums, but the contracts have been canceled and she does not want to one. I replaced the red card with the white one and it still accessed the free channels.

My Icecrypt has :

RCA CVBS Video Output, Audio L, R Output
Audio Digital Coaxial and Optical (S/PDIF)
HDMI Video & Audio Output

My surround sound has all of these connectors, do you think any are better than straight HDMI ?
TBH I'm not sure I can isolate the RCA L/R for output, but I was just wondering what people thought.

Quote from master G

Is the sky card a white one and the official decoder a hd model ?

You use OSCam to read the card, which mimics a videoguard CAM module/card reader, so it doesn`t really matter which software is embedded into the receivers card readers..

You won`t find any keys/servers for sale here, we are not that sort of forum..

Once we know which card you have we can point you in the right direction buddy..

Sorry I didn't mean I wanted to buy one from here what i meant was that if I have to buy one because there's no other alternative because of the type of box I would go off onto the tinterweb and look it up. I did read the forum rules and I know you are strict on that kind of stuff.

I have the white card with a Sky+HD box, hope that helps. infact I have access to 4 sky cards and 3 HD boxes now.

Unfortunately my Dad passed away a few weeks ago and I use to use the card he normally had in his motor home for sky (full bundle was awesome) and his slybox. My brother in his wisdom cancelled the subscription, oh well  .
So I bought an Icecrypt s3750HD it says its spark and E2 I managed to tune it ok, get some plugins loaded as an experiment and they looked to work fine did all the updates, backed up the system to my NAS.
Anyway I have the sly card and box. So what would be my next step towards card sharing? I have read as much as I can understand I now realise E2 stands for Enigma2 not got my head around how dual boot comes into play. But the box has Two Conax Card Readers, I’m happy to pay for a key or something as long as it isn’t extortionate like the £90 a month my dad was paying.
I’m happy to follow the tutorials once I know which ones to read, because I ‘ve read the dream box ones and I think they are E2 so similar, guess that’s why I’m asking because I’m not sure which tutorial will relate to the box I’ve got.. just point me in the right direction and I’ll try my best.

Hi, I bought a S3750CHD and on Icecrypt the S3750CHD has the same spec as the S3700 well I'm assuming the load out/platform is the same, . So before I start trying to install Spark images , do you think that the S3700 plugins images etc will work with the 3750 ?
I have box fully running attached to a NAS drive, and I have a 16 gig USB drive ready for flashing stuff.
When it says dual boot does this mean I can either boot to the Spark image and recover Using the E2 OS or am I confused and old ?
And if the answer is yes where do I begin ?

Many thanks
