TM-5300D Super

[ian109]

I'm a complete newbie so please bear with me. I have called SKY and they sold me a Freesat card which fits nicely into my TN-5300D+. I really want to get Fiver and FiveUSA channels which I used to get using the same card in a Sky box. I have downloaded the latest patches from here which certainly gets the TN-5300D+ to at least recognise the card which the standard Technomate software doesn't, but I still can't get these channels or DAVE which is also supposed to be a Freeview channel. Is there any way to do this or am I wasting my time and should just revert to using a SKY box?

Thanks in anticipation.

Freeview and freesat are different.
Dave is a freeview channel, not freesat.

why dont you just get yourself a freeview box then you can have all your channels.

Good question. Is that the only solution? I kind of like the TM-5300+ Super because it ets me hang a high density USB disk onto it for recording, but I can't find a SKY box that does that.

[hoggy952]

you can get a freeview box with a hard drive for recording.

[ian109]

Yes I know, but I also have my entire CD collection on MP3 channeled into my B&O stereo from the TM-5300+. It really is a very functional box. It just can't get FiveUSA and Fiver by any means I can find.

Fiver and Five USA are only available via sky card. Is your sky card blue or white?

[ian109]

The Sky card is blue on one side and white on the other. the blue side has a little yellow house on it.

you will need the new white card m8, ?20 from sky. regards mdt

I got the new white card from SKY and it was exactly the same. I returned it and it was ?25 not ?20 any more.
