I got my Floppy DTV from Kustom PC's

Everything else from eBay, The most difficult thing I found to get hold of was a Cam with the Joker 79 firmware on.. Although you could get a Cas programmer and program one yourself..

+1 for kustompcs.co.uk for the FloppyDTV C/CI and ebay for the cards, just as MortUK said.

Got my first CAM from hisat as they pre-flashed them at the time (not anymore), then second and third from ebay as I could flash them myself by that point. Had to keep an eye on ebay for them, but the Blue Zetas do show up eventually - although you can buy them in online shops if you need them quicker (but more expensive).

Can't remember where I bought my CAS3+ from, might even have been from duolabs themselves. Probably GoogleShopped it though to get it slightly cheaper, knowing me!

id recommend getting an icecrypt blue/black as a few of the blue zeta's floating around ebay cant be updated with joker firmware.

swannyno1 · 28-04-09, 06:58 PM

i need -

Kustom PCs Digital Everywhere FloppyDTV C/CI Card

i didnt realise i had until now ! Can admin close the swanny one down please ?

If that is one of the new Zeta Blue cam's then AFAIK they cannot be programmed with the Joker 79. I'd e-mail the seller and see if they can supply them with the joker 79 on. or you may be wasting your money.

Apparently there is a version of the Zeta Blue firmware around that will do what you want but I'm told that it is not as good as he Joker.. Apparently the Zeta firmware can be programmed with a simple flash with a Funcard.

Although I'm not speaking from personal experience, just what I've read on the forum. I was lucky and managed to find an Icecrypt pre-flashed with Joker 79 on eBay.

P.s. What is a ITVDigital Gold card..? You'll need a Funcard 4 or 5 to go in the Cam.

i bought one of them cams from the same guy on ebay and asked if it could be preflashed, he said they come straight from the warehouse so he wouldnt be able too. makes me think he's probably knows they cant be flashed with joker.

the only way i could get my floppy to work was buying a preflashed joker 0.79 icecrypt blue from ebay and updating it to joker 0.80 so all the channels would encrypt.

the blue zeta firmware update was useless, the cam accepted it but channels would freeze after 30 seconds or so

ps. the itv digtal card is just a gold wafer

swannyno1 · 29-04-09, 01:51 PM

So if i buy a Icecrypt pre flashed i will not need to buy the CAS programmer ?

Also once i get a card do i have to write somthing to it ?
