    Default Owner Card

    Ok i'm new to this, so be gentle :P

    From what I've read and understood, Austar has the same channels as foxtel, and I can access these channels by obtaining an owner card, a STB and a dish?

    Will I need to constantly update this card somehow?

    Where Can I obtain this stuff in Perth, and how much would it cost?

    What sort of STB do I need, any one in particular? i have a Eurobox one at present, and it can accept a CAM?

    From my understanding, a Dragon cam can do IRDETO correct?

    Also, is there any receivers out there that have irdeto built in? Does C band receivers differ from KU band receivers?

    Regards

    plenty of receivers that have built in irdeto, this thread might narrow the choices for you:


    if you are planning on running a gamma or gold card, or fox / a* / aurora sub you need a ku band receiver, many if not most do both c and ku band, but you will need a ku band dish which are small and inexpensive unlike the big c band dishes.

    have a look around this area of the forum there are several threads going with the requirements for running these things.

    yup I know I need a ku band dish...we have a C band dish already (3.0m)

    now, is the austar dish facing the same direction as the foxtel one? or totally different? how would I locate it?

    I have a ku band dish as well, but it's not mounted

    I've been given a price of $587 for sellers card, Strong 4653x with fan mod, and shipping

    is that good/bad?


    how long do these sellers cards work for? Will they all work till they change their technology, or will certain cards die suddenly?

    Position of the dish is the same as Austar and fox,mounting your ku band dish will help in getting pictures

    The entire A*/ Fuxtel spread incl. ppv

    As for your setup, yeah that would be about average price.

    how long do these sellers cards work for? Will they all work till they change their technology, or will certain cards die suddenly?
    They could last years (not likely) of they could all be stopped tomorrow, there are no guarantees.

    Or your box could superheat your card regardless of the fan mod and kill it in an hour!!

    Don't you just love this game

    What does 'entire f0xtel spread' mean?

    you mean all the extra packages?

    you wont get foxtel only channels but almost all of the foxtel channels are available via austar. The ones i can think of are channel 10, 9 and there may be some others someone more knowledgeable will be able to tell you.

    But with sellers card you can get all austar including PPV.

    how long do these sellers cards work for? Will they all work till they change their technology, or will certain cards die suddenly?

    ie. will they block certain 'ranges' of cards or anything like that?

    answers:

    1. nobody knows
    2. possibly
    3. maybe

    if you are trying to guage if it is value for money or not than there is no definante answers they could die tomorrow, your decoder could fry it in an hour or it could run for 5+ years its all a gamble.
