    Default moderate success.

    Replaced my old sf518 with the new sf918 on the modek dish today.
    About 5 hours (and 20 minutes) later I got
    NSS 6, a/sat 4, D2, C1, D1 and pas 8.

    The sound is great, the picture is great, I get the hd channels but I can only get the fta stuff. I have an optus card and a select card but cannot get them to unlock.

    Can anyone suggest what I'm missing ?

    regards flicker.

    P.S I put the pids in for the hollywood channel but still don't get any picture.

    have you put the card in the slot upside down ?

    it should show up as an irdeto card in the 'module' menu

    Hello Hoe, Of the 6 areas only smartcard 1 and network are highlited and active.

    Maybe they have been in upside down , I seem to have tried them every which way.

    Currently have select in smartcard 1 ( was in cam b4) and it says initializing
    I'LL wait longer this time.

    I think I may have had it between both cam slots earlier today and it got pretty hot.

    Thanks for your reply
    regards flicker.

    I have been thinking of getting a new STB with a Hard Drive maybe one of these will be a good investment.

    Just curious about the remote control, do we have any feedback here.

    I absolutely hated the original Humax remote. Am hoping that this one is better setup for someone with big fingers like me.

    when inserting smart card...the chip gold contacts must point UP


    put latest firmware on a usb stick and go to menu and install it.
