Default Cams

I already have my dish and receiver (Humax CI-8100) set up and can receive Hotbird and Astra freeview channels.

Am I correct in understanding that with a cam and card and programmer such as say the Dragon cam etcetera, I may recieve and view scrambled (encrypted) Satellite TV stations on Hotbird and Astra?

Are there any limitations to the scrambled (encrypted) stations received i.e. would I get all of them?

Would this cam also work in the same way if I got a motor and pointed my dish to other satellites?

Would you recommend the Dragon Cam or a different cam for the above purpose?

Theres no way you will get all the scrambled channels with any cam - many of the pay tv services are totally secure - and more will be screwing down their encryptions later this year.

The most prolific one is Premiere in Germany which has been rumored to be switching to NDS and Nagravision 3

TPS will also be dispearing soon when it leaves 13e for good

On the brighterside though a hack for Conax has just come open so there is new stuff to watch on 1w
