I've found a Conax CAM on ebay thats fairly cheap and says it does Irdeto. If this CAM also fails I'll think about whether to get a freecammed 1.06 (https://www.hotchip.com.au/OnlineStore/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=61) or a new card. Do either of you have a recommendation of a card that is most likely to work if it comes to it (Not a guarantee, just a best guess ;)) Cheers, Dave. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE+jdwx43ifHzpDVURAhwaAJ9wa4jhaMmZGh3rKlv4VijY5ES8pgCfZNQH XiHExTFTO/pjjRUTZr4ylSY= =1oOz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
