Happy Easter, folks
Apparently, Sky are low on stock, and it can take months to actually get the Sky HD box (it's like being back in sowiet russia, it seems!).
Hence I am planning to run a SkyStar 2 HD USB on my (yet to be built) HTPC for with my Sky HD subscription. So far it works like a charm, got the dragon CAM and reprogrammed it fine to recieve all Sky channels I have subscribed to. But HD. In DVB Viewer's channel list, they appear blue and when selecting them I get a message "No hardware available! ". BBC HD (and Luxe TV HD) recieve fine, though.
I nearly think it might have something to do with the paired box ID one needs to enter into the Dragon. Since I only have a Sky Plus box (without HD) I entered that one.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
