    I'm new to this site and have only been in this hobby about a year and am still learning. I just recently learned about EMM keys. I'm reading in these posts about oscam and have no idea what it is. I thought it was something that is used in Europe and Middle East, not in N. America. I am in south central USA and am using a 7 foot mesh dish and a C band LNBF. I receive satellites from 87.0W to 139.0W. I can get lower than 87.0W, but those are all Spanish channels and of no interest to me. I'm using a Hellobox V5 receiver and am getting all the Power Vu channels with the exception of the Epix channels on 101.0W SES1. The Hellobox V5 is autoroll and automatically loads the proper keys. I just recently got this receiver and am pleased with it's performance. It is by far the best receiver I have tried yet. I've tried loading those keys from my Hellobox into a Freesat receiver, but they wouldn't work in it. I found out the hellobox scrambles their keys so that they may not be used in other receivers.
    I also have a Freesat V8 Super that I have been using for a while and had many keys loaded in it, but could only get channels from Galaxy 17 unlocked. I recently found out the Super 8 is also auto roll, however you have to have EMM keys loaded first. I've found keys for several satellites and have opened the channels on those satellites. I'm still in search of more keys. I have also downloaded and installed Power Vu Home Edition and am trying to learn how to use it to search for EMM keys.
