Does Eurovox 5000 work in Australia? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hey guys, just moved to Australia and thought i would take my trusty eurovox 5000 to try my luck to see if it could work in oz, basic scans of normal TV doesn't find anything yet so i thought i would cast the net to see if anyone has played around with these in oz yet?

Any help would be greatly appeciated as usual!

it would only work if they are using the same encryption as the UK (Nagravision)

I would suspect the image would need slightly tweaking as well on the network providers side... seeing as I assume they use different providers there.

As Foxtel in Oz is owned by Murdoch, all the boxes (certainly in Perth) are re-branded Pace manufactured Sky Boxes (Sky+, SkyHD), so I guess the encryption will be similar to Sky UK. Some areas are satellite, and some are cable however

Have a look at the satsgeneral forum down there mate get yourself a dish and point it at optus and look towards a tit3 card.

Thanks for the replies guys, tried plugging up the box to a live operating foxtel (cable) connection here in oz, and received 6 TP's but when i went to scan the TP's for channels nothing came up, i tried adjusting QAM & Mbaud rates but didn't work still - so am a little curious now that the EV picked up the TP's but didn't scramble channels from them??

I have heard that if you have a non "live" feed into your house here in oz and you plug in a "live" box into your non live feed it will actually work which would mean that in theory EV box should work?

Any thoughts?

I have to say to the real techies on here, if this can be cracked here in oz, the business opportunity for EV boxes will be unbelievable!?

Kegnkiwi - would you mind PM'ing me to explain tit3 card in more detail?

Foxtel cable and sat systems down under both use nds i believe so ev's and any other boxes used here will be useless and fyi there is already a large cardsharing community already established if you want to look into that. And whoever told you plugging a box into a non live feed and it would work is seriously needing to give up the drugs m8...
