Hey guys, My grandma is losing her favourite tivusat italian channels one by one and she’s asked me if I can fix them for her.

I’ve done some research and from what I understand, channels such as Cielo, Tv2000 are disappearing from her box because of a codec/definition switch...

can anyone help me with getting these channels back or their HD counterparts please, or is this even possible? She has two decoders, one is a I-cann 3900s and the other is Sab HD 4900.

thank you in advanced

Sorry Im not familiar with these receivers. Is she able to receive HD versions of Rai? A re-scan should find the lost channels again. If not then the transponders may need to be added manually.

Thank you for your reply.

all of the Rai “HD” channels have a $ symbol next to their channel name in the EPG and do not work when selected, only the normal SD versions of the Rai channels work.

The Rai channels so far seem to be fine, Cielo and TV2000 have gone so far..

I believe you need a gold card for HD. I've seen both receivers for sale with gold cards included so if you can get activated gold cards the channels *should* be restored.

Great, thank you, do you recommend anyone that sells them pre-activated at a decent price?

Here is also described that the blue card isn't working with HD channels, in HD receiver-equipment: Help Required - Tivusat HD Channels

So you would indeed need a gold (HD) card, as ozumo wrote.
My gold card works in the card slot of my Rebox receiver, on a softCAM. I couldn't get the CAM working, that we got with the card.

So it's up to you if you buy a new receiver with card, or a CAM with card (but I don't know which CAM you would need for your receiver), or just the card (and hoping that you can find the right softCAM for that, Nagravision I believe).

Hey A33, thank you for your reply.

I’m a little confused, if I purchase a tivusat hd (gold card preactivated) for my grandma, can I not just replace it with the existing blue tivusat card which is in the receiver now?

what is softCAM?

Cielo and TV2000 appear to have gone HD now, but TV2000 is FTA so should reappear after a rescan. Maybe Cielo would too. I would try that first before buying a new card.

Thanks Dave, my grandma has been in isolation due to the coronavirus for months and her TV is the only thing keeping her going, she says her normal channels such as Cielo and tv2000 that she watches were showing a message on screen that they were moving to HD, then a month or so ago, they stopped working completely.

so now I’m tasked with trying to fix it for it, I will try a rescan now.

also, I’ve just come to my grandmas to check up on her and as I mentioned she has two receivers/decoder sat boxes, one of the tivusat cards are gold in colour and says “HD” and the other is polka dotted blue, without the HD letters, just tivusat.

Yeah, the gold card will have come with the Sab HD 4900, so should go in that box.

Has anyone had this problem in general? How are everyone’s sat boxes for italian channels doing, are you not having channels taken away due to Tivusat moving to HD? Or is it just a simple case of buying a tivusat HD card and rescanning for channels?

As one of the receivers has a gold card, it should be just a case of re-scanning. I don't think there's any reason why you couldn't try the gold card in the other receiver as well.

As for somewhere to buy HM-Sat on Amazon appears to sell them pre-activated. However as you already have a gold card I'd try to get that working first.

Thanks guys.

I’ve rescanned the box with the gold HD tivusat card, nothings changed, the channels are still listed but they’re “no signal” or remain black.

something is weird because all of the channels that are listed as HD, for example;

Cielo HD
Rai 1 HD
Rai 2 HD
Rai 3 HD

They all don’t seem to work, they all display as “scrambled”

I’m thinking there’s something wrong with the Sab box with HD channels, I’ve taken the HD card out of that box and inserted into the I-CAN 3900s box and all the Rai HD channels are working just fine whereas the Sab box is displaying scrambled for all the HD channels.

im just rescanning with the HD card in the I-CAN 3900s.

Do the channels show what frequency they are on? Are you able to view any encrypted Tivu channels from this list? In particular ones that are not listed as Nagravision 2:

All HD channels listed on the Sab decoder, do not work at all.

I had to leave my grandmas house now so I’m not with the box anymore but I can check the frequency’s of the channels I believe in the settings > channels.

I took some pictures of the Sab box interface, showing that the HD channels aren’t working if that helps at all.

There is something weird going on here. Ive got a blue Tivusat card & cam which I got about 5-6 years ago - and its working on ALL the RAI & Mediaset channels both SD & HD.

@AnIdiotAtHeart there is an issue with at least one of your frequencies - RAI Storia changed frequencies in the last few days. The current frequency parameters can be found here:

Did you do a Factory reset on the Sab box ? It might need it to update the new frequencies .
