anyone got ch4 HD working on freesat

[ManikM]

hiya,

sort of posted this in another thread, but not quite, so i though i'd be more direct.

i have an hd box (Pasison+) and a dragon cam, and an old sly card which im hoping gets activated over night.

question, has anyone got this channel working for FREE? and not part of a SLY sub?
Thanks!

[madsod]

[ManikM]

what r using to get it mate

[madsod]

t/mate 6900

[hechicero]

[ManikM]

boy boys boys.

more detail please...

what cams, what cards etc?

what settings?

[ManikM]

hmm i dont know

my old sly card activated tonight and clears ch5 in a sly box, (didnt earlier) so i stuck it in my passion+ (well, into the cam anyway inside my passion+) then entered the box id of my sly box into the dragon software, and nothing, it just says "scrambled program"

ps it didnt clear sky3 - should it have? just a thougt, have i taken the card out too early from my sly box?

any ideas pimps?

[madsod]

sky 3 is free to air ,

[ManikM]

not in my sky box mate...but then saying that ch5 is fta but wouldnt clear in my sly box until it acitvated over night.

on freesat box clearing no problem

i want CH4 HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManikM]

Thanks all.

No it's not mate ,you need a freesat card.ManikM glad you got it sorted mate,just for future reference,if your card goes down when the monthly/bi monthly update is sent out,when you put it back in the sly box use sly3 to update,i have found with much practice that this channel seems to work best for updates.I no longer have to do this coz the last patch for my TM6900 HD does the update for me:king-041:.All the best Fella.

[ManikM]

mate you need a cam that lets you enter a sky box's serial number in the emu software in my case:

Dragon Cam with latest Predator software with the serial number of my old sky box entered.

Then i use my old expired SKY Card (blue one , with a yellow house symbol on it) which had to be left in my SKY box on Channel5 overnight to re-activate (acts as a freesat card)

Then that it, cam into receiver, card into the cam - job done.

CH4 HD clearing.

[cam-man]

have dragon with new files an 4 diff sly cards but still no go have a few sly boxes but still no good . an look whats on now transporter in hd

[Gone_Fishing]

I don't think you need to enter the box serial into your dragon cam for the FTV channels I didn't when I tried mine it just worked :)

are any of the cards dark blue with yellow house on them?

if so, leave it in ya SKY box and leave it overnight to update, after 6-12 hrs and when its clearing ch5 and sky3 in your sky box try it then.

[ManikM]

got the film on now, its true HD and not upscaled i think.

LOL what a ridiculous fight scene!!!!

superman!

[cam-man]

yep all blue yellow house have a box in each bed room for kids but not allways pluged in so will leave them in an switched on for day or too.as for the film what gets me is do they remaster the film for hd as no hd was out when first made or do they just upscale

[ManikM]

LUXE HD on 28.2E is also FTA. Nice picture most of the time, good for demos, but content isn't great (unless you like looking at other people drinking wine in their nice houses and yachts).

[Gone_Fishing]

I should imagine that all hd channels show a mix of both true hd material and upscaled

If you look at slys new hd film channels that mirror their sd film channels I don't think its possible that all those films are true hd

Lots of new tv series are now shot in hd
