Default Gamma card question

Hi guys, haven't posted for a while been to busy enjoying my new found hobbie, but i want more, been watching the footie off 19.2 prem but i know theres a lot more out there. Digitalb isn't a option at the mo cant pick up 16e so i was maybe thinking about the nova package which i understand can be opened up with a gamma card. I would be most grateful for any advice

You want my advice - avoid.

The sat hobby is littered with stories of the latest supercard for which support rapidly evaporates once the h&ckers have made their money. A new card comes out every 18 months or so

Official Nova cards are very expensive - the high hundreds if you have to use a uk reseller.

I can Highly recommend a gamma card, I have had one for months now, an official Nova card costs around £32 a month, a gamma costs £70 updates are available but mine has auto updated for nearly a year now, so working it out on a monthly basis, I have got 5 times my moneys worth.

Could you kindly give me more detailed information about Gamma card! Especially the chip type of it. My customer need it! And is this card very popular in the world?
Thank you very much!

The gamma card has been superceded by the next wonder card the abracadabra card - so my prediction i post #2 came true....

Gamma cards have been reported as difficult to get hold of. Many of the satellite hobby shops in Europe that were selling Gammas were visited by legal officials from Irdeto and told to stop selling them.
