quasi51 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hello, I'm looking for a tutorial or overarching explanation on how to get paid (not stolen, I want to pay for it) satellite programming onto a computer screen. I have purcahsed a Prof S2 7500 USB unit and am going to have a dish installed. I live in Amman Jordan and will be trying to get programming from Nilesat. I assume that once I have the satellite pointed in the right direction, hook-up the Prof receiver and install DVBViewer I will be able to get free-to-air programming. If I want to get Al-jazeera sports (or any other paid programming), how do I do this? If I go to a local shop and purchase a subscription, will they give me an access card? Can I run that through DVBViewer with a USB smart card reader or something similar? Is this possible? I'm not trying to do anything illegal so if my questions appear that way please let me know. Anyone have a link to a good tutorial? Thanks for your help! Link to comment
Tjod Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You need a CI (most times a add-on for the TV card) and CAM (which supports the encryption the pay-tv channel is using) and the smart card (which you get by the subscription). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Interface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_Access_Module Link to comment
quasi51 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for the response. I'm looking at the Prof 7500 now and it doesn't have any additional ports for a CI...I'm assuming that means it's only good for FTA and not capable of supporting PAY TV? Is there any to run the CI/CAM through the computer rather than through the tuner? Link to comment
