Exclamation Weird FTV card

Ive got something very strange going on atm with the ftv card in my dreambox. (Came out of a scrap box I was given....)

Loads of the pay channels are available - includes all the Sky branded movie channels but not the sports channels.!

Most of the Discovery stuff, E4 More 4 etc etc.

I promise this is not a proper card in my dreambox - its a typical ftv card - second hand - Im not even sure where it came from now

ANyone know wtf is going on and why Im getting loads of extra stuff?? (And why arent I getting Eurosport on it!)

I think someone up there,likes you,AS
Could be one of those freeviews to random people,whether they are ex-subscribers or FreesatfromSky viewers.
Just enjoy it while it lasts.
I'd better check my cards,maybe my lucks in as well

One of the lads over on the sats.co.uk forum says he has similar on a ftv card so it must be a teaser of some sort. Will have to dig some videos out and tape some films whilst it lasts....

Ive done some channel comparisons and it looks like Ive got the variety and knowledge mixes turned on, plus the movies and for some bizarre reason Disney Cinemagic

You've been fiddling with those emu files in your Dreambox again.

That epg is on my Dreambox 7020, (a high end enthusiasts receiver) not a skybox. Any sky card will work in a DB - although they are not really recommended for beginners as they take months to learn how to drive properly.

That particular channel info bar doesnt seem to be available these days so this is the one Im using now.

The extra channels I was getting only lasted a couple of days after that post then it reverted back to normal...
