Will this work to get Virgin Cable on my HTPC? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I have just recently found this forum and have been doing quite a bit of reading just to make sure I get the jist of how to get cable on my media centre. However I was just wondering if somebody could please confirm for me if FloppyDTV and a Blue Zeta CAM will allow me to receive cable on my HTPC considering I'm in an ex C & W area. Thanks.

Hi KuchKuch, Yes ex c&w myself all working, read Zeta Blue & TT1501 for the correct cam, make sure the floppy is C (cable).

Looking at that thread I see you mention a Blue Zeta with a certain serial/product number. However I'm not sure if you can specifically ask this when ordering from HiSat. Any suggestions? I'm also presuming I should get it flashed with Joker 0.79 firmware, is that correct?

I seem to be having a problem with HiSat's checkout service at the moment. BTW did you make your order by phone or did you ask for it by leaving a message in their Additional Information Box?

Thanks a lot for that info. Also will I need a Fun5 card or can I just use my Virgin card and if I need to buy a Fun5 does anybody know where I can buy one from?

The one thing I was hoping I wouldn't need, I know I'm not going to get anywhere if I have to use a card programmer

Is programming the card straight forward?
