Chaps, does anyone have any info on where this is at? Will a orange IQ card work in a third party box? Or, blue only?

Is a solution being worked on to allow Foxtel cards to be used by a card reader connected to a HTPC with Oscam and a cable tuner?
This hasn't been able to be done for nearly a year now.
Thanks.
Even if there was a solution do you really think it will get posted in a public forum such as this?
The solution I was using until it was countered: phoenix card reader, DVB-S2 tuner card (I was on satellite at the time), OScam, TVsource...was posted in public forums (pcmediacenter.com.au) and probably here, right?
Is there any way to swap out the HDD in the IQHD for a larger capacity, I presume if it could be done would need something like copying over the data from the original +/- firmware flash?
Thanks.
I don't know but I suspect that it will be a normal filesystem, but with strong encryption. Ghosting it won't necessarily do you much good but it may be worth a try if it doesn't worry you breaching the terms of your agreement with Foxtel.
The process would be to clone the image to the new drive. Something like Partition Magic or Clonezilla may do the job. Then try to use the new drive. If it works with the cloned image you would then increase the size of the appropriate partition on the new drive, assuming of course, that the filesystem is of a type that supports this.. Be careful not to play with the original drive.

Ghosting it will give you an exact duplicate and as such the additional space will be wasted. I would think that unless you use similar drive model/vendors it won't use the drive, pretty easy to do from their point of view and they would be crazy not to in my opinion. They are all about screwing us for more cash
The only way you can increase the partition size is if it is in a known format, if not you are stuck.
I think im gonna have a play with this problem this weekend with a few geeky hack freak buddies and see if we can come up with a solution around having to keep the cards in these crappy pox boxes!!
where have ur mates been for the last year?
good luck
