Right! I've received my FloppyDTV, Joker/Zeta Cam (yellow lable), Infinity USB Unlimted and a few fun cards (incase I break one!).

So far I've installed the FloppyDTV card, the MCE drivers, and get Vista's Media Centre to do a channel search. This all went fine without issue, though when it asked about the EPG I wasn't sure if I should select the Sky option or go with the 'unspecified digital' option. I chose the later thinking it might cover more channels with the intention of using the Radio Times site later, with BladeRunner etc.

Next up I wanted flash the fun4. Some folks say you need your IRD, some say it doesn't matter. However I got mine from the STBs Engineers menu and converted the first 10 digits (there seems to be 12 in total) to hex.

I tried reading the supplied paired card then to get the boxkey but it didn't seem to work. The software fails to read it

Again though some people say you don't need this as long as you use the same one that's on the CAM... ?

So I tried to find the CAMs box key. CAM is inserted (without fun4) and I've loaded up FireDTV Viewer. I right-click, go to View, View Cam and it displays a window with two items in the menu 'Select CA' and 'Embedded'.

'Select CA' lists a load more options such as 'Via', 'Cx', 'Shl' etc.. nothing about the box key.

So no luck there. Not to be detered I thought I'd use NiagraEdit, edit a ex-c&w rom11 file and input my IRD, a boxkey I found off the 'net, the latest keys from Chatters/BigMaq and flash with a ChaosV3 firmware.

Popped that into the CAM that's in the FloppyDTV and still nothing.

ARGH. And I thought this would all be simple !!

I don't suppose there is something obvious I'm doin wrong here is there or some easy steps to follow to sort it out?

Thanks guys.
