Hi folks.
I just got a Pace DS810XE, coz I wanted BBC HD for chrimbo, its cheap at the mo and hopefully when freesat starts next year, it should be of more use.
I was rather surprised and dissappointed to see that encrypted FTA channels (E4, More4, Ch5 etc) are not available without the sky FTA card, are there any alternatives to Sky FTA card or is that the only one available.
In the meantime, what CAM card or otherwise can I use to view free to air channels that are encrypted, Any recomendations ?
Do CAM cards take the Sky Free to air card ? I have an old Panasonic digibox which works intermittently, I'd prefer to just use the Pace DS810XE if possible, rather than swapping them over when I want to watch E4 !
So, if I did want to get a CAM card to view other channels what is suitable for the DS810XE, from what I've seen so far diablo doesn't work.
As an alternative I have a skystar 2 card, but my current PC struggles so frame rate is a bit slow on BBC HD, wondering if I should upgrade to a better PC or is it easier to get a cam and reader to get the channels I want to view.
Lots of questions, but I've been lurking around the forum for a while and I found more questions than answers so far
TIA
