    Some of the old cheaper Gamma cards and PL1 cards use to get a nasty brown spot from the reader running at 5 volts
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    And to elaborate further, if they were run at a lower voltage they wouldn't get so hot and burn the card.

    They don't tweak hence the reason for not working with Austar cards and others....

    I had one work early in the days of switch over. just showtime and a couple of others didn't work. that was in a Humax 5400z it accepted the card and worked to some degree. a week ago I tried a spongebob in a 5410z as I set my uncle up with aurora and I tried it and wouldn't even accept the card said invalid card yet a old freeX delta will be accepted
