Hi, Ive been reading loads of talk about 1N going live soon and having a tight beam on the UK, thus opening up more capacity for FTA tv. Does anyone have any news or a good indication of the changes that we may see on Freesat as a result? Personally I would like to see Motors TV go FTA and not...

One reply I've just had is they are unsure as works on some old cams and not others. Does anyone have a cam with that firmware / software like mine running such cards?

I know you would think that was logical - however they seem to just say "we're unsure" - hence why I thought I would seek the help of you guys. Can I reflag my cam with the latest firmware?

The cam info is as follows; Cam sw ver: 1.1.1 Cam hw ver: 1.3.0 Loader ver: 3.1 sequence 001 ACS sw Ver: 463-2.1.2.11-broad Cast-64-retail Does that mean anything to you?

Is there any way of finding out what version is on my cam? I notice the external label just says Via Access. How easy / hard is it to flash one of these things - if possible?

So if you have said keys - then is it a case of simply typing them in with a remote control or do you need one of these blank cards they sell on sites and a card writer to make it all happen?

Sounds like I got into all this a few years too late - sounded like it must have been fun to see what you could get. Are there any channels you can still get with a few bits of code? :)

Is that the BISS keys you are talking about there?

I know slightly off point however has the tring football issue been sorted now where people had cards, but couldnt watch?

Oh is this a known problem then and why they are bringing a new Sat into use then? Will this mean new TP data for the channels as well?

Hi, Sorry if this is a really silly question, however to me im not so sure. I used to have Al Jazeera back in the VA3 days so bought a Via Access Cam. Now im thinking about getting another viewing card, however not sure if I can use the same cam? I know that the cards are now VA4, but will my...

Hi, Just been trying to watch Tring Sport 1 which I believe is FTA when not showing football. However my Tring keeps going on and off. It says I have a good signal quality and reception on the display on the box, so just a little confused. Is this what you can expect from Tring? I have heard...

Just to let people know I finally solved this problem. It was more by chance that I spotted something on google and could be of use to fellow Fortec Star Innovation HD customers. You have to enter everything manually for C4 HD in the advanced scan area. Entering in all of the following settings...

Yes I can watch BBC HD channels and ITV HD.

Hi all, bit of a strange one for me and maybe someone here knows the answer. I have a Fortec Star Innovation HD box, which I know is not one of the official Freesat boxes, however I have used it to get all the FTA channels - well everything other than C4 HD. When I do a scan for the TP and...
