Viasat Denmark reciever - n00b question

[DrDice]

Hi all

I'm totally n00b at sat reciever. My entire life, I have had cable-tv, but I have moved to a place where we cant get cable-tv.

For about 6 month I have had Viasat Denmark as my satelite provider, and now I am looking for a new reciever.

I have looked at IPBox 910HD and IPBox 9000.

Will I be able to recieve Viasat Denmark channels with those two reciever?

I have heard that they got new tuners in october 09. Will this be a problem with the current firmwares out there?

:thany:

Yes it should be posible for ipbox HD to manage a viasat ( NDS ) card , a new Ipbox is on the way to be relased this year .

There are other boxes eg dreambox 8000 , Azbox HD elite / premium and premium + .

All have more ar less the same way to read NDS Cards with emulators : Cccam , mgcam and NewCS .

Hi. Thank for the answer.

The only thing i need it for is to be able to record and watch both Viasat and FTA channels so i think the new ipbox 9900 HD is a bit overkill.

I have heard that ipbox/Dreambox got problems with the new Viasat cards. Is that true or are they supported now?

The boxes are again able to read nds card , alternative is with the smargo + cardreader with NewCS as emu / protocol .

[DrDice]

Sweet

then i'll order a box asap

tnx for the help :-)

My choice is now between IPBox 9000 HD with 2x DVB-S2 tuners at a price at 3095 dkr or a DreamBox 800 HD at a price at 3495 dkr. The dreambox is only with one tuner.

What should i pick?? :wow:

Dm 800 vs ipbox 9000 .

1) regarding support for box Dm 800 wins

2) regarding attaching devices Ipbox wins

3) regarding picture Ipbox wins

Both boxes have linux inside .

But before you make up your mind , view various comments on both boxes .

Both boxes need a exchange of the official firmware , in order to be able to use NDS cards

My personly choise would be Ipbox becouse the option for CI modules and 2 cardreaders .

[DrDice]

tnx again for the answers.

I'll see what i'll decide me for.

Btw. Viasat card with the yellow arrow. Is that supported on the ipbox/dreambox (with other firmware)

Dont know if yellow are older or newer then the blue

[DrDice]

Now i just saw that i can get a AzBox Elite HD for 2095 dkr. Should I take that reciever?

The only problem is that it only got 1 tuner so I guess i'm not able to record one program and watch another? And I dont know if it works with Viasat (NDS)

[LilleMama]

For recording one channel and viewing another its ONLY posible on Premium + models !

Dreambox DM8000 can do Viasat SD channels with the latest CCCam 2.1.4.
However - no support for HD channels.

Anybody know if someone is working on that in the CCcam team?

Or is there other Cam combinations that can do the trick?

:thany:

Atm its NOT posible to get the HD channels by emus , I have a Idea that a wireless cardsplitter might do the trick , offcourse the card should be in the official box .
