Good morning (it's late morning here in Greece),
I am the owner of the AZBox Premium HD, but I had it in its box till a few days ago. Recently I renovated my living room system with a new Pioneer Kuro TV and some other components. I decided to include the Premium in the system and apparentlly I need to set it up.
Before setup, I installed a 750GB SATA2 HDD in the receiver and the optional DVB-T tuner.
I took the first steps in its settings, the ones easy to do, such as video and audio setup, language, formating of the HDD, etc. I also updated the firmware, by installing the latest 0.9.4890 one. Finally, and before connecting the receiver to a satellite dish, I searched and stored the terrestrial digital channels, presently existing in my area (4 in total). Then I checked the device and it worked fine.
Then, I connected the receiver to a small dish (60cm dia), which is used to receive the Hotbird (13 E), for my pre-paid NOVA services, a parcel which is the only pre-paid one currently in Greece. Of course, I intend to use the Premium with a much better installation (I have initially thought to use two dishes, one elliptical of 1.20x1.06m and another of 1.00 m dia), but this will probably be done some time next week.
Anyway, after the connection to the 60cm dish, the receiver located the Hotbird immediately and downloaded something like 370+ channels, most of which are encrypted, of course. I stored all of them to the receiver.
I have two questions:
1) After the storing of the satellite channels, the receiver seems to have lost (or hidden) the terrestrial channels. In "TV" operation, No. 1 channel appears to be the first Hotbird one. I tried all possible alternatives (removing of the LNB cable, in order to force the receiver not to receive sat channels, restoring once more the terrestrial channels, rebooting more than two times) but in vain. What do I do wrong or what do I omit or neglect?
2) As I said above, there is a pre-paid service in Greece, called NOVA, covered by Multichoice S.A. I am a subscriber to this service (Full Pack) long time now. The company supplies its subscribers with an encryption card, working in Irdeto 2 system and a "primitive" sat receiver (Panasat 720i). I removed the card from the Panasat and I inserted it in the top card reader of the AZBox, expecting to work with it. Naturally, it didn't.
Then, I searched the web fora, and I discovered that I need to "configure" my Premium with OpenXCas and from it the MultiCas EMU. So, my second question is:
A. - How and where do I find the OpenXCas and the MultiCas EMU? Is it available somewhere in this forum?
B. - If yes, how do I "configure" the receiver?
If somebody is kind enough to answer, I need some step-by-step instructions, to use the receiver menus and do it.
Thank you in advance.
P.S.:
By the way, this forum seems to be a "gift from heaven" to me, but I need to be more familiarized with it and - mainly - with my AZBox, of course. Thanks, guys! :respect-037:
