[QUOTE="NOVICE, post: 2737"] Thanx for the reply, rolf. Guess I won't be trying it on my m8's box then. Although it would be nice to know if anyone other than Sky has found a way to enable the CI slots - some software download. Got a friend in the satellite trade and he sometimes lays his hands on knackered boxes that the owners don't want back. Could get him to get one working just to see if the CI slots work - that is, if I can find some way to enable them in the first place. Channel Hopper are you around?You're right up on this sort of thing. Do you know if anyone's had a go, or any site it might be worth posting a query to ask? Is it even feasible that they could be enabled without Sky's help? After all, I'm not trying to hack Sky TV - on the contrary, I want to set up an existing Sky box to watch everything but Sky.
