Hi Leroy and All,
Got my French STB , called Aston Simba, the first thing I did is to test the Viaccess smart card on the Ultraplus 980 HD bought from Leroy few months ago, it went well and I am pleased to report that.
I will give you my opinion about the Aston Simba HD when I give it a test drive this week.
Leroy thanks for recommending the Ultraplus 980HD.

What price the Aston Simba and from what shop in New Caledonia?
Mircea,
Here are the details where you can order the Aston Simba
antelec-nc@canl.nc
Cost: ~$497.00
The parcel insured came in 3 days.
Please note that you cannot only order the Viaccess smart card.
This card has life time validity.
Mid 2011, more channels will be added.
If you need help please contact me.

Thanks for the info Michell. I am keen to hear how you go.
I am guessing you will need a power converter?
Also, did the card/box require any sort of registration to get it going?
Hi all,
Viaccess card came already activated,
I do not think you need a converter, the box is sampled to work on 230 Volts with 10 % tolerance, it should not be a problem, I am sure some members experts in electricity can help with this issue, as you know I use the Ultraplus 980 HD. If you need a cheap and a good box contact Leroy about his Openbox S9, this STB supports Viaccess,
Yes the Aston Simba is an expensive STB, but remember that the smart card is will run permanently and you do not need to pay a subscription.

Hi all, i am a suscriber of L.B.F but would like to access all the channels as the ones proposed are not good enough i would say! anyone know how i can obtain a card thats from caledonia?? Jester64 mentioned he can have access to cards from caledonia. Please some help!! Thx in advance
Hi Tommy,
I too am a LBF subscriber (Premium package), and would like access to the following (in addition to the what I get with my LBF subscription).
France 2
France 3
France 4
France 5
Arte
I just wished LBF would include these in their package. They a free channels anyway so what's the big deal!
I'm not sure if you can purchase just Viaccess card in New Caledonia. I have a detailed discussion with Michell about this, and it appears that you can only get the required Viaccess cards by buying the Aston Simba HD from Antelec in Noumea for ~$497.00 AUD (including insured delivery to Australia). A bit like VAST here in Australia. The Aston Simba HD has a PVR function via it's USB port, and has two smart card slots, so you can put your LBF Smart Card in the second slot and have access to everything at the same time. The Viaccess card that comes with the Aston Simba HD is pre-activated and has lifetime validity. It is perfectly legal to purchased this Aston Simba HD from Antelec in Noumea.
I intend to purchase one of the Aston Simba HD from Antelec in Noumea in the future so I can access France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5 & Arte in addition to these on my LBF Premium package:
Video Channels:
1 - TF1
11 - Calendonie 1ere S
16 - France O
19 - Wallis 1ere SAT
21 - LC1
22 - 1TELE
24 - France 24

Hi Mark,
Thx for your reply! i also have the LBF Premium package, im after channels like M6, Tf1 HD Canal+ etc. with the Aston Simba HD would you know what channels you get access to apart from those you already listed France 2,France 3,France 4,France 5 & Arte?
What about the PACE – PHILIPS HD i saw this on the Antelec.nc website. im willing to keep my existing subscription but would like those canal+ channels too specialy the HD ones. Thx a lot Mark!
Kind Regards
T.
Hi Tommy,
I actually haven't had a look at the Antelec web site.
But now I have.
Yes I see they offer both the Aston SIMBA HD
and PACE – PHILIPS HD.
I think that the Pace Philips HD PVR is what LBF is offering for $13 extra per month. See
Anyway Michell told me that you get the following channels with the Smart Card that comes with the Aston Simba HD Decoder:
Calédonie Première
Wallis Première
France2
France 3
France 4
France 5
France 0
Arte
France 24
2 extras channels from French Polynesia and Caledonian (FTA-Feeds)
As well as these radios stations from Paris:
France Inter
France info (News)
France Culture
Radio Calédonie
That's it!!!! That's what the people in New Caledonia get for free. If you want more then you have to pay for a subscription to Canal+
Yes some of those are what we get with our LBF subscription. The package LES CHAINES CANAL+ is sold for €64 a month. Subscription packages to CANALSAT CALEDONIE range from €33 to €175 a month. More than 60 channels, radios and services including the CANALSAT CALEDONIE package.
No you don't get access to "M6", "Tf1 HD" or Canal+ unless you get a subscription to Canal+.
Having said that, we sometimes get access to Canal +. But most of the time it's scambled. But I was surprised we get access to it sometimes. Anyway you can access a number of other channels with a decoder like the UltrPlus that you can't with the LBF supplied Pace decoder such as Canal +, 2 extras channels from French Polynesia and Caledonian (FTA-Feeds) and some more radio stations. I've replaced the Pace decoder (supplied by LBF) with a UltraPlus 900HD miCro that I purchased from Leroy here on Austech.
I guess you have been to this site:
LBF now have a link to Canal + when you go to their contact us page here:
If you click on it, it takes you to Canal + website here:
These are the channels on offer in New Caledonia as part of CANALSAT CALEDONIE package:
SATELLITE COVERAGE (Intelsat 701)
Anyway it appears you can't get access to those here in Australia through LBF.

Hi Viewer,
You might have missed the very important small writing at the bottom of that web page.
I'm not interested in pay that much....The package LES CHAINES CANAL+ is sold for €64 a month.
Subscription packages to CANALSAT CALEDONIE range from €33 to €175 a month.
For more information: , and
Cheers
Mark
Tommy,
Just one final thing. Michell emailed me a 4 page PDF from Antelec regarding the Aston SIMBA HD. If you PM Michell or myself with your email address one of us can send you a copy. It details everything. That is if you are interested.
Cheers
Mark
Anyone has a friend or relative in New Caledonia that could help with a Canalsat card ?
Hi Tommy,
I asked LBF why they don't offer France2, France 3, France 4, France 5 & Arte as part of their package here in Australia. They said they aren't licensed to offer those here is Australia, and the only way to get those, is to buy the Aston Simba HD from New Caledonia with the included smart card.
I also asked about the Canal +, again they said they weren't licensed to offer those packages here in Australia. They told me that their head office (Parent Company) is in New Caledonia, and they offer those services in New Caledonia, but they can't offer those channels in Australia for legal issue. Perhaps it's got something to do with the Foxtel & Austar rights here. That's my best guess. They didn't elaborate about the reasons.
Cheers
Mark
