No, I have the card only.

I have seen several people selling Sky boxes on eBay with similar cards in the past, so I think it's OK to use in the original box, but I won't risk it.

I don't have access to the sports package and never did.

i think go down sky uk icam, now only a few open in icam , in december all sport from uk icam is work ....

Everything I could open still opens now.

I'm not sure what you mean.

It's not a special card, it's just a regular subscription card.

At some point, someone in the chain messed up and gave entitlement which lasted too long.

I don't know anyone with a similar card who has let EMM's go through, so I have no idea what will happen.

That being said, I saw someone selling an official box with one of these cards on ebay.

For me, it's not worth taking the risk.

I'll only write EMM's when the card expires.

Here is my reader and my user:

group                         = 1,2,3,4,5,64

so then why u are blocking unique and shared?

My card came with years of entitlements.

I am worried that writing EMM's will revoke the current ones.

When the entitlements eventually expire, I will have a list of EMMs to try and extend its life.

I have done so with 2 x enigma2 devices - the client has a channel list, so you just zap to the sat / channel you require and the server box takes care of the motor.

Is that what you meant ?

Yes, but I wanted a dedicated device really.

TVH can do the same thing.

I wanted a bulletproof device that can take power cuts etc and doesn't need restarting as it will live in the attic.

After doing a lot of research, it seems nothing exists outside TVH and E2.

And UTV! Top 8 secured!

Sorry, maybe I misunderstand.

It sounded to me like he has 3 separate lines from a pay server, and he is only supposed to watch 1 channel at a time on each line.

Sounds like you want Loadbalancing.

What does this open?

Does anyone have experience with sat>IP tuners connected to USALS motors?

The Megasat tuners claim to support USALS, but how does it work on the client side?

I assume it's not configured as a motor on the client, since the sat>IP device is handling the positioning?

So they are trying to tighten beams?

To be fair, an SSD would be wasted.

A regular HDD is plenty fast enough for recording and playing back TV.

Then again, SSD's have come down in price so much now that maybe it doesn't matter unless you want a huge amount of storage.

I understand what you mean.

I thought perhaps they added services that are encrypted on 28.2E.

I thought all the English channels are just the free ones?

If so, there isn't a method to buy them in the UK.

Have they added paid channels?

Maybe off-topic, but the v sport channels have opened for me in the past (free servers), but very rarely and inconsistently.

So either this was a glitch or there is a way to dump pairing keys.

I think there is a way to get pairing keys for most providers (Forever/Mars etc), but no public info :(

I'm not sure what your server is, but mine clears with 0963 without editing the dvbapi file.

Eurosport clears with 0963.

Maybe it's a server issue?

I could be wrong, but it's advertised exclusively as an accessory for their boxes, and it even says "With USB Wifi no".

The only way to know for sure is to buy one and see.

If CoreELEC does support it, you should be able to take any necessary firmware from their repo.

EDIT: I don't think it's USB. They probably just use a USB connector.
