advice needed Matrix Cam

[sheddy2001]

right strapped for cash at the mo so gonna try and use my old digiquest with matrix reloaded cam
the question is can i programme this cam with a cas 2 interface and can i put most of the new keys etc on it

[Mickha]

You will find the matrix Reloaded by clicking on the Cam Module tab, in your Cas software, and Magic Cams.
There are files for the Matrix Reborn, a later version than the reloaded, which will currently open Digi TV, 1W, Polsat and SRG 13E.

cheers so will it unlock what the newer boxs will

[Mickha]

No, the newer cams, like the Diablo, will also open Premiere, but currently the later patched receivers are opening the most as they can open TPS as well.
The Dreambox and skystar PCI card can also open Premiere, TPS, Polsat, SRG and Digi TV.
Owners of cams are still waiting for new files.

will my cam still open multivision

[Mickha]

Multivision are the main channels for the TPS package, 13E, and no cams can currently open these, since they tweaked there encryption a few days ago.

would i be better off buying a cas 2-3 for my cam or buying a tech 5200

[Mickha]

You never know how long support for cams, or receivers, will last, and both Premiere and Digi TV will upgrade their encryption, sooner rather than later, to stop us viewing.
Then, no doubt, there will be new technology required to open new packages, but that is part of the hobby.
For now a cheap Technomate receiver, or other receiver, like the Vantage, seems good value for what they are opening.
It all depends on how much you want to spend and what you want for the future.
Have a read through the forums, then decide which suits your needs most and which looks to be the best value for the features.
