Canal plus and digitalb any help

[tomtomhull]

Hi, i have been looking at the technomate 5300d satellite receiver, with multicrypt card reader .I am interested in getting canal plus at 1west and digitalb 16 east for the footy.Should i be looking at another receiver and a diablo cam with cas 3 programmer or will this be ok with a card programmer. Many Thanks.....confused:

If it can take a cam you'll be fine with the Diablo, if not just go for one of the many other Technomates that can accept a cam.

Thanks i have seen a technomate 5400 which has a cam slot and is a card reader. Dont know now if i should get the m2 card about ?70 with programmer or is it better to get the diablo cam and cas 3 which i have seen for about ?140 are there more channels open with this option and is it easy to keep up to date and use..... Many Thanks

i have read that the m2 card can be used in the card
stot on all technomate models, so you have no problems
i prefer the diablo cam but both open the channels
my nova card wont work in the card slot on my tm 6900

[dont buy card's]..
If you want a quick fix then buy a card..
they last as long as the provider want's then they go tit's up..

Thats correct m2 Cards are opening a lot at the moment another card worth looking at is the ABRACADABRA card which seems to have a lot of up to date support and can open all of this
