Buy funcard 1, funcard 4, or funcard 6? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

As above. All these cards are equally priced(from the same seller) but the funcard 4's seem to be going the quickest, and they only have 1 funcard 1 left. Are there problems with funcard 6's?

I think Funcard 6 and above are used mainly in satellite boxes, the Funcard 4 seems to be popular among cable modders. I have updated quite alot because most boxes that people bring me have Funcard 4s in them. A Funcard 6 should work though so if you can get that at the same price they why not go or it

Hi

Funcard 1 ??? not sure about that, you must mean funcard 2. Funcard 6 are fine and has been said by blakey funcard 4`s are the most popular ones but if they are the same price than would get funcard 6. If there is a significant difference in price then would get funcard 4.

Even if it is a Funcard 2, it would still work. They are known as Prussian Galaxy cards as well

I used to use Fun Card 2: Galaxy purples from Cardman-UK (now using MOSCs as they last longer).
These just have a smaller memory EEPROM chip but still have 3-4 times as much space as is needed with these cards.

TV NEEDS = AT90S8515A and 24c16

Fun 2s have AT90S8515A and 24c64 (64kb eeprom)
Fun 4s have AT90S8515A and 24C256 (256kb eeprom)
Fun 6s have AT90S8515A and 24C1024 (1024kb/1mb eeprom)

Either would work, but if theyr the same price, its always nice to have the best =P
