sly card in vu duo

[Larry-G]

Hi all, Just put my active SLY card in my VU+ Duo using latest VIX 2.2.103 and all subbed channels clear without using any boxkey.
Is this a new feature or will the card deactivate soon without adding the boxkey?

did you update to vix 2.2.1xx from a older version via the update feature of the image ?, because if you did the image will still be using the CCcam.cfg file you had previously. and for the record CCcam can not decode the premium channels on sky uk card without the boxkey being present in it's config file.

Hi Pheonix, no it was a fresh USB flash of VIX 2.2.100 then online updates.
Definitely no boxkey in my CCcam.cfg.
It's the basic Irish sub, was just surprised that Irish channels clear as they don't on an expired card I tried.

it's likely then that the channels in question are FTV like the UK FTV channels, which require a card but no boxkey to clear, as no premuim channels ( movies / sports etc ) will clear without a boxkey present while reading the local sky card in CCcam.

Yeah, suspect that's the case now. However Irish channels aren't available on FTV satellite in Ireland for some stupid reason (cash & SLY)...
but for now, as long as there is still a sub on the Irish card it clears those channels without boxkey. Will update if it changes.

also getting other channels that aren't FTV in Ireland like Sky Arts without adding the boxkey & using the basic SKY sub card in Ireland.

Sky Arts will open without the boxkey as its not considered a Premium channel by Sky.

The reason Irish channels are not available FTV is a rights issue not Sky being awkward. If you look at the new Irish Freesat system its on a stupidly tight spot beam on KaSat 9e for the same reason.

Over on another forum one member is reporting to be able to pick up Irish Freesat in North Wales on a 2.4m dish. He couldn't see it on his 1.8m setup. If that doesn't put the message across i really don't know what will.

You will also need to use OSC** if you wish to view all of the channels as Sky have done something so CCC** on its own cannot decode all the Sky channels. Pick TV being the one most people seem to complain about.

Can the box key be entered if using MgCamd?

I am not sure mate, never used it as I have Oscam and CCcam only.
