What the Openbox has is a card reader and a CI slot (to take a CAM). Ameritron 10 Meter Mods Pdf Writer. Cccam is software which with the card reader will emulate many types of CAM (as well as other non-discussable capabilities) which allows it to read many types of valid viewing cards.

My box will certainly handle decryption of all Sky channels using a valid Sky card which is basically what I purchased mine for together with its ability to record FTA HD channels from other satellites. Which cards it would handle may well depend on which version of cccam is loaded on your box (which you should be able to find from one of its menus - mine is recording at present so can't tell you at the moment) - I would suggest then googling that version number of the software (which is used across many different receivers) which should give some info of which CAMs it emulates and/or which cards it will decrypt. You will find nothing in the manual because as it is software which I believe can easily be replaced and updated any printed reference could quickly be out of date. Click to expand.I'm thinking of buying one of these boxes for exactly that purpose, and would be grateful to hear from anyone with experience using Sky viewing cards directly. I'm unable to receive freesat from astra 2d due to my location and dish size and am keen to get a PVR up and running. I'm hoping to record from the non-subscription (but scrambled) channels that Sky broadcast on astra 2a and 2b (such as ITV1 regions, Channel Five and the non-subscription HD channels). I have a sky white viewing card that was activated last month and am keen to find out if the S9 can read that card directly without any issues and if there is a great deal of pre-configuration required.

There is a better version of the Openbox for UK free TV - the V8S Combo - digital satellite, digital terrestrial and IPTV in one box. You can set up 'favourite' lists with a mixture of satellite and terrestrial channels. Still no 7 day EPG on UK TV from on air (merely 'Now & Next) or updates to channel lists when. No freezing and 100% stable. Good news is that this firmware can be installed on Genuine OPENBOX V8S boxes (but there is an activation fee to cover the cost). To install firmware on Genuine V8S it requires special tools and hardware to put the firmware on to the box. Firmware upgrade is not possible via USB or network. May 19, 2015. Skybox.cc has released new firmware today to solve the XMLTV EPG problem on the skybox/openbox/libertview F3s, F5s & V8 boxes. Confirmed working i just put it on my f5 and all good took alot ot time to update the xml file but all good look for 15866064.rar.

Does the white card expire if it isn't inserted in the original Sky receiver every so often? Are there any other issues with Sky viewing cards in the S9 (particularly the white ones)? If the white cards are problematic (as I've read elsewhere), would a blue viewing card from an expired subscription be less troublesome? I know that a few FTV channels would be missing, but I can live without them. Would a blue viewing card also need 'pairing' to the S9 if it's only going to be used to decrypt a handful of non-subscription channels? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had absolutely no problems using the receiver out of the box with my full sub Sky card - the only configuration I had to do was in order to receive the premium channels (Movies and Sports) which merely involve entering the serial number of the box the card was paired to - but as you are on a FSFS card you will not need to even do this - merely connect to dish, turn on box, scan for channels and insert card to be up and running in about 5 minutes. I am not sure whether the box passes the 'keep alive' signal through to the card (but I believe I have seen reports that it does) as my viewing card normally lives in my Sky HD box. The old blue card would do absolutely nothing in the Openbox. The only non subscription HD channels are BBC 1HD, BBC HD, ITV 1HD, STV HD, Channel 4HD, Channel 5HD and Luxury Life HD.
