Default A Gemini 3.4 Question

Hi all,

On Gemini, the control display as you change channels has at the bottom a series of letters B I S V N CW ND and CO. Could some kind person tell me what these boxes and letters actually mean please.

Many thanks

Dezzy

Good question!

They are abbreviations for the encryption types with which the stream is encrypted (i.e. those are highlighted).

It can be just one type or several - usually for historical reasons.

Let's see, B=BISS? I=Irdeto S=Seca V=Viaccess N=Nagravision CW=CryptoWorks ND=NDS Videoguard and CO=Conax.
