Which CI Cam for Select TV?

[LukePerth]

Hello All,

I am hoping one of you Satellite wizards can help me with this.

I have a DVB-S decoder with a CI Cam. At the moment i have an Irdeto Cam, however, how do i know if it is Irdeto 2 compatible? Apparently this is a requirement for Select TV.

The model number for the cam is 901205 ver1.1

I have subscribed for a month and want to check it out. It might be worth it for the movies.

Cheers,

LukePerth

Hi,

I found this thread here. It seems to be Irdeto II.

I am pretty sure that It won't work . The card is compatible with irdeto 2 but isn't compatible with the latest v.5 epsilon cards used by selectv.


you need a cam module like this one:

Bugger!

Select TV didn't mention anything about Epsilon.

All they required was a Irdeto 2 Compliant STB. I have one that uses a replaceable CAM. I will give the current one a go, if it doesn't work, i will try to source one of the new purple cams. Will they work?

It says the card has been tested with SelecTV.

It also says it works with Austar.

An irdeto 2 compliant STB has irdeto 2 already embedded on it such as this one:

they are fairly cheap and will work on selectv. So Instead of getting a purple CAM, If I was you I would probably sell your current stb and irdeto cam and get an embedded box.

If I were you - I'd get either Matrix or Dragon / TRex CAM.
Those are universal and support most if not all encryption systems.

Even on the page suggested above you have "Matrix Reborn" CAM...

http://www.eurodigital.com.au/produc...products_id=37

...which supports:
Cryptoworks,
Irdeto1/2,
Seca1/2,
Viacces1/2,
Nagravision,
Betacrypt and Conax
...

Regards

I own the mentioned shop and I can assure you that the matrix reborn won't do irdeto 2 epsilon and I highly doubt that t-rex does.

I spoke to the Select TV help desk and they have assured me that all i need is Irdeto 2. They said they didn't use Epsilon, and my CAM and STB will be ok.

All in all, they are a very helpfull bunch.

I am hoping to get the card today and am trialing it for a month.

Thanks all,

Let us know how it goes and good luck but I doubt that it will work . Selectv does use irdeto 2 v.5 epsilon and that CAM does not decrypt it as far as I know. for more info visit www.austech.info
