Sly card & Azbox

[satworld98]

I just ordered a white sly card and I want to check whether any of the EMU updates the card as well as read it.

Thanks

[satworld98]

Just to rephrase the question slightly, I read that Multicas reads white sly cards but I will like to know whether it updates the card as well i.e whether I can just leave it in azbox forever without the need to put it in the sly receiver for an update.


Thanks

I have not noticed it doing any updates, I still have my old sky box and I put the white card in it at night.

Thanks for the reply. That puts me in a fix as I just ordered the card and not a box. I threw my old box away few years ago

AFAIK the card has to be paired to the original box first.

I think that Sly will want the serial number of the box to activate the card. Read somewhere else that somebody just went into high street store and noted the number of a sly HD box and told sky that that was their box number and go it activate that way. Which package did you oder ? I just have the basic which doesn't need a boxid as it runs on any box

i'm sure freesat works with any box m8, stick it in the azbox and see what happens ;)

thanks. I am sure it will work as well. I am not just not certain the card won't die on me due to lack of update. I will give feedback when I get the card.

I don't think that the freestat cards need any updates. My mate canceled his subscription years ago and still use his blue card to decode the "soft" encoded programs. Still working up till now.

No, they still need updates.

In the very latest MultiCAS there is a whole new section on NDS cards including entering Box ID and selecting whether or not to allow EMM's (updates), will be interesting to see if it works.

I just download the v157E-06_2k090920 version so I will have a look at that tonight. Where do you set these up? Is it through the OpenXCas menu for cams?

will be interested to know this myself.

Yes, once installed you go through the menu like this
OpenXCAS > Camd setup > MultiCAS > Smartcard Interface > CAS Control > NDS
and you're given these options:

Box ID mode: Auto / Manual
Modify Box ID: (You can enter the box key number in cardkeydata.txt in the MultiCAS folder and then upload it)
EMM Mode: Off / Single / All

I have a Blue card in it now with the EMM set to 'All' just to see if it will update it, will let you know.

I assume that the box key is entered in HEX

[goran]

Anyone knows about Premiere ****, please

MultiCAS or NewCS?

Cheers!

[gtg60]

I would assume so as it has eight characters. I don't have a White card to test it with and my Blue one is only FTV.

[neilD]

Yes must be hex then. I have just installed it. Interesting thing about the version is that when you go on to the ************ options, you can set up both client, server & client/server (3 pages of options).

I can confirm that it works with the UK white sly card :respect-040:, I am currently testing recording on the SCFI channel (Knight rider - don't laugh), but its only just started so I need an hour to check if it records OK.

I also have enable EMMs (All) so I will let you know what happens

Cannot test the boxkey stuff as I only have the basic package.

it will be good if it updates the card...fingers crossed

[neilD]

Well it recorded OK and no freezes

[joe_b]

where do you get the boxkey guys ?

[FBOY]

The box key is the box to which the card was paired.

[AJR]

where do you get the boxkey guys ?

Its in the menu of your sky box

There is a big thread in the forum giving exact details.

Thanks

Don't know if updates work yet as I had it in a sly box at the weekend. I will leave it now in the Azbox to see what happens
